It is the end of an era. We just learned that
Quilters Newsletter Magazine will publish its last issue Oct/Nov 2016.
Here at eQuilter we are truly saddened by the loss of this iconic publication,
because we were so fond of QNM.
Bonnie Leman started QNM in 1969, typing on a manual typewriter on her kitchen table. I felt a kinship with her, and years later befriended her daughter Mary Austin who was the editor-in-chief. I shared the story of Quilters Newsletter inspiring me to explore the quilting world, and later QNM launching our business from our basement. Mary’s friendship, encouragement and guidance was a great boost in the early years.
To all of you who have contributed to QNM over the years, I send you a big hug, and my sincere thanks for sharing your dreams and inspirations with us.
We will continue to stock current and back issues of QNM for as long as possible.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
