There is perhaps no more quintessential icon of the late 20th century quilt revival than Bonnie Leman, founder and editor of Quilters Newsletter Magazine.<\/p>\n

The quilt world lost a great friend Sat Sept 4 with her passing. One could easily say Bonnie Leman was THE HUB of the quilt world for almost 30 years. She appeared on the scene in September 1969 with her first issue of Quilters Newsletter and soon left her tracks around the world*. With grace she passed on the baton of leadership at QNM to her daughter Mary in 1996.<\/p>\n

I never met Bonnie in person, but I feel like I knew her through her daughter Mary, and Quilters Newsletter. In 1990 when I left the fashion industry in NYC and moved back to Colorado, I was looking for a new direction. I found it when I picked up QNM on the local grocery store newsstand and felt a chill go up my spine. I remember thinking "This is IT! This is what I've been looking for!"<\/p>\n

The result is eQuilter.com, and the design work I have done for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, Bernina Fashion Show, etc.<\/p>\n

Thank you Bonnie for inspiring me to join the Quilting Industry.<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
