The GenQ Blog Tour
Hello! Today is my stop on the Generation Q Magazine blog tour. Naturally, I'm going to give you an inside look at the real world behind the making of a great quilting magazine. For those of you who may be coming here today from other blogs, I am the Creative Director of GenQ Magazine and I am responsible for all the design and layout. I also write a humor column. I am supposed to be writing one right now, but all I can think to write about is what it's like to agree to be a stop on a blog tour but be so frazzled with trying to get a second issue in before deadline that all you can think to write about is being frazzled with trying to get a second issue in before deadline. Killer satire, that's my stock-in-trade.
You know, people ask me all the time, "What's it like being the creative director of a quilting and sewing lifestyle magazine?" And I tell them all the same thing: GLAM. O. ROUS.
Check it:
This is pretty much how I look all the time now, what with the fans stalking my every move.
Designing the first issue of GenQ was pretty much several weeks of intense clicking. If any of you have ever done hours and hours of computer graphics, you will know what I am talking about. Your spine becomes permanently hunched, your eyes constantly bloodshot. From carpal tunnel, I can no longer actually feel my right index finger, but the middle finger makes up for it by now constantly throbbing with arthritis. And we're not even going to talk about what has happened to my butt, because we may have guests here today.
So, no. While my life is pretty much all champagne and men sending me photos of themselves shirtless, the process of creating the magazine was all like this:
And this:
And a whole lotta this:
But it was all totally worth it. Cause I made it look like this:
And this:
And this:
We are not just a project magazine, though we do have plenty of great project patterns. We have articles about all kinds of things, from a shop that specializes in recycled fabrics and other sewing items to a piece on Pinterest to a wonderful profile of Amy and David Butler that everyone has been raving about. There's a list of 25 great online fabric shops with a detailed description of just what makes each one so great. Our Trendology feature is a place where we'll focus on some particular aspect of our stitchy world and give you resources and tips and projects for it. Our first Trendology was about linen, and I think it's one of my favorite sections of the whole magazine.
You know, I say it all the time, but I never imagined when I started teaching myself to quilt back in 2008, that I would end up just a few years later designing—not quilts—but an entire quilting magazine, one that I am intensely proud of. I work with amazing people: Jake Finch, Melissa Thompson Maher, and Scott Hansen and I can truthfully say that we are building a product and a business that promises to be truly unique in this industry.
So would you like one? I am giving away three copies to three oh-so-lucky readers. Just leave a comment, and when I am able to pry my arthritic claws off the mouse, I will choose three random people then Jake and her Mail Goddess will send them each a copy. Giveways are the best when I don't have to do the actual mailing!
There's only one more stop on the tour tomorrow and that's the FabTalk blog. Then on the 11th, we'll be celebrating our first anniversary over on the GenQ blog. We'll be reminiscing about the past year and talking about how far we've come. I'm pretty sure there will be references to my arthritis and my ever-widening butt, so you really don't want to miss it!
UPDATE: Generation Q Magazine is not yet available in book stores. It can be found at a number of local quilt shops and online shops (go here to see a list) or, if all those are sold out or not in your area, you can go directly to our website here and purchase. Subscriptions will be available later, but we are not sure when. The Fall 2012 issue, which we are desperately trying to get done now, should be available in more retail stores (and we'll tell you which ones closer to the release date).

Done
The sale is over. If you bought over the weekend, or if I've been holding anything for you, your stuff will go out today. Unless you are Canadian and then your stuff will go out tomorrow because I have to fill out customs forms and actually haul my carcass out to the post office.
Thanks, everyone, for playing along and helping to pad my meager bank account this summer.

Fabric sale, Part 4
It's half-yard bundle day! I've got Blackbird Designs, Sweetwater, Jane Sassaman, and Laurel Burch! As usual, international buyers will get billed for the balance of their shipping charge. And you have to tell me to hold your order if you want me to combine shipping.
Pinkies Up Bundle
You know what I'm talking about. If you want to be FANCY, put your pinky up. And this shit right here is FAN. CEE. This is what Camilla Parker Bowles Manstealer Windsor the Eighth uses to wipe up Corgi pee when mummy-in-law comes to visit. So, what British royalty considers to be the equivalent of cut-rate paper towels is actually fancy-schmancy rich people stuff over here in the U. S. of A. So, be fancy. And schmancy. And put your damn pinky up—you look like a commoner.
6 half-yards. The flower prints all seem to be Coventry by Hoffman and the green pebbles and the stripe are P&B or Timeless Treasures or something like that. Fancy, though.
Pinkies Up Half Yard Bundle: $20.00 + $9.00 shipping
Lake Trout Sandwich Bundle
These are all (or mostly, anyway) from the Baltimore Beauties collection by P&B Textiles. Did you know that up in Baltimore, if you see a place that sells Lake Trout Sandwiches, it's not really lake trout? It's Atlantic whiting or something, but it's a Baltimore thing to call it lake trout. They just fry it up in cornmeal and slap it on some white bread with hot sauce and wrap it in foil. ITS AWESOME. So if I ever make a Baltimore album quilt, it's not gonna have birdies and hearts on it. It'll be all John Waters and Lake Trout and Omar Little. I love me some Charm City. 6 half-yard cuts.
Lake Trout Half Yard Bundle: $20.00 + $9.00 shipping
Chintz But Not Chintzy Bundle
Are these chintz? How do you identify chintz anyway? Is it like obscenity— the Supreme Court knows it when it sees it? Do you think we could get Scalia to make a ruling on whether this is chintz? What would a constitutional originalist's opinion on a bunch of Marcus Brothers and Moda Fabrics be? I guess as long as the corporations get lots of tax breaks, he'd be cool with it. 5 half-yard cuts.
Chintz But Not Chintzy Half-Yard Bundle: $14.00 + $9.00 shipping
I Don't Even Know; It's Just Pretty Bundle
This is another one of those bundles that is really, really lovely, but I'll just never use them. Those two grey-ish blue ones in the top left and middle. LOVE THEM. In theory. But they're all sweet and pretty and I am hardly sweet and pretty. But you are. No, you are! I'm not just saying that. I would kill to have your hair. You should have these. They go with your hair.
7 half-yard cuts from Sweet Romance by Blackbird Designs for Moda.
It's Just Pretty Half Yard Bundle: $24 + $9.00 shipping
I made a Kindle cover out of these. After that, what else could possibly be as satisfying? Except Joe Manganiello. You know why I'm all hung up on him? That damn Magic Mike movie and the new season of True Blood. And SOMEBODY stole my copy of Entertainment Weekly with the Magic Mike cover and so how am I supposed to get anything done until I know where it is?
Anyway. Authentic. I'm still keeping some for me, but I want you to have some. 6 half-yard cuts.
Authentic by Sweetwater for Moda Bundle: $25.00 + 9.00 shipping
This Is How Much I Love You Bundle
Because I love you so much, and because I need money, I am cutting into my beloved Jane Sassaman stash. See that one on the bottom in the middle? That's Teasels and Lace from Prairie Gothic. Do you know how much I love that fabric? This much:
And this much:
That's hanging in my sewing room. I have, like, 6 yards of it at least. And if I find more, I'll buy it. But I'll let you have a half-yard of it, because, as I said, I love you.
6 half-yard cuts of Prairie Gothic with one Sunshine and Shadow (Purse, couch, and Ikea frame not included).
This Is How Much I Love You Bundle: $18.00 + $9.00 shipping
Priceless Treasure Bundle
Yeah, that's right. Fantastic Felines by Laurel Burch. Do you know how much this goes for on eBay? A LOT. And do you know how much of it I have? A LOT. But I only cut into what I have multiple yards of. And I'm only selling one half-yard bundle. Because I'm going to hoard the rest like a crazy cat lady, even though I don't actually like cats very much. I'm more of a dog person. But you know who does like cats? My mother-in-law. Someday, the MIL will have a cat quilt. A very valuable cat quilt. And I bet I'll still be able to sell the scraps for twenty bucks an inch. 6 half-yards. (And, yes, that's a lot of money for 6 half yards. It's rare. I've seen it on eBay for $10 and more for a fat quarter. I'll also throw in a copy of Generation Q Magazine and a picture of Joe Manganiello that I printed off the internet! Never say that I don't take care of my people.) Plus, I'll give you this:
Priceless Treasure Bundle: $40.00 + 9.00 shipping
Pinkies Up Bundle
You know what I'm talking about. If you want to be FANCY, put your pinky up. And this shit right here is FAN. CEE.

Delaying sale
Okay.
We need to have a little chat, y'all.
I am one of those stupid, sick individuals who wants to make everybody happy. Even when it's impossible. Even when I don't actually know the people in question. I seriously considered just selling these things on eBay because I've done it before and I know how it works, but I wanted you all to have the chance to see them and get them first.
I'm really pleased that everything so far has sold, but apparently many other people are not.
First, those of you who get the email subscription service: I do not send those out myself. That is a Feedburner service, and when you sign up for it over there in the sidebar, you get an email every time I put up a new post. HOWEVER, Feedburner does not see fit to send those emails at the exact same time that I make the post. I have tried tweaking the time, but there is always a significant delay, and I am afraid there seems to be nothing I can do. But you can! You can actually visit the website through your browser (here's the address: http://thebitchystitcher.blogspot.com). I have been trying to post the sales at noon, EST every day. I usually announce it on Facebook, but I will just declare here and now that noon is the time to look.
Second, everybody else: I'm sorry that the time doesn't work for you or you can't use the internet at work or you live an a tree and eat beetles and can't read. I would fix all of those things if I could. But the best I can do is post when it works for me and try to let you know ahead of time.
And confidential to the person who was so freaked out that I am selling my entire stash: oh, honey. This is but a fraction. A tiny, tiny fraction. Remember when I got all that fabric from my mom? This barely scratches that surface. I am keeping a TON of her stuff, plus I still have plenty of my own. I have more fabric than any reasonable person could possibly use. And I will still hoard most of it like an insane bread wrapper collector.
So, I'm going to delay this a couple days, just to give myself a breather and give everyone a chance to read this. The half-yards will go up at noon EST on Saturday, June 16. I'm including the pics so you can see what's coming. I cannot promise them to you ahead of time, so please don't ask.
And I'll tell you what I tell my kids: I still love you, even when you drive me crazy.

Fabric sale, Part 3
And now these are all gone! Boy, you people love cheap fabric, don't you? Half-yard bundles tomorrow!
Reminders: I will ship internationally, but I will invoice you for the remainder of the shipping charge. I will hold off on shipping if you let me know you want to wait until you've seen more stuff. We are almost through the fat quarter bundles and will do half yard bundles soon. If shipping ends up being cheaper that I have charged, I will refund you the difference.
Black and White and Red All Over Bundle
I have a massive collection of black and white fat quarters, many of which I got from my mom's old stash back in December. I still don't know what I plan to do with them. I just know that I love them and I would shove my own grandma out of the way to get more just like them. But these don't quite fit with the others, even though these are WAY COOL. And the red gives it some extra zing. Buy them, and I will use the money to actually buy more black and white FQs instead of being mean to granny. Two sets of 8 fat quarters each, sold separately.
Red And Black and White Bundle: $10.00 + $5.35 shipping.
Campfire Bundle
When I first started quilting, I couldn't cut my own fabric to save my own life, so I bought lots and lots of pre-cut squares and strips on eBay. There was one particular seller who always had great deals and cool fabrics, so I bought a lot, but her fabrics always smelled like they had been salvaged from a burning building. Finally, I took a look at one of her listings and waaaaay down at the bottom in very fine print, it said:
Understated Elegance Bundle
I bought these in Nashville—Franklin, actually, but I call everything around Nashville "Nashville"—when I went to see my brother a couple years ago. I have no idea why I bought them. They are basically black with tan print. Lovely. Really, I quite like these. I'll just never ever use them except to run my hands over them, lovingly, on occasion and I can do that with all my Kaffe Fasset and Jane Sassaman, so maybe you should have them. 4 fat quarters.
Understated Elegance bundle: $6.00 + $5.35 shipping
The Murky Depths Bundle
These are deep, dark greens. Mysterious greens. The green of a deep and glassy Scottish loch, perhaps. The green of an ancient reptile lurking in a misty jungle. The green of a jealous man's twisted soul. Whatever. They're pretty and you should buy them and make a tea cozy out of them. (And seriously, they are darker than the picture shows.)
10 fat quarters with three duplicates.
Murky Depths Bundle: $10.00 + $5.35 shipping
Super Fun Kiddie Bundle
I am NOT making any more baby quilts. No one seems to like them very much, or at least not as much as I think they ought to considering the amount of effort I put into it, so I'm just going to go over into this corner and sulk while I plan all my GROWN-UP quilts for ADULTS (namely, me) who appreciate all my hard work. (Unlesss, of course, you really want me to make one, and then okay. I will. For you. But just you.)
8 fat quarters
Super Fun Kiddie Bundle: $8.00 + $5.35 shipping

we do use and enjoy our wood burning fireplace in the winter
Apparently, she used it to store her fabric. But that is NOT the case with these fine FQs. These have all been pre-washed, so they are a little fuzzy on the edges AND - bonus! - they all smell like a spring linen rain shower. Or something. Okay, they smell like All-tempa-cheer. Do they even still call it that? Or make that?
15 fat quarters with several duplicates (you can tell which ones if you look close at the photo), in colors from brown to orange to yellowy-tan. Or mustard yellow? Dijon?

Fabric sale, part 2
Everything has been sold today. Stop back at noon tomorrow and see if I've managed to put more up!
Okay, shipping is going to work differently, since I was too lazy to actually weigh things before and it turns out that fabric is REALLY heavy and I somehow thought I could shove a lot into packaging much smaller than was truly practical. So now each has a different shipping price based on weight and most things will be sent Parcel Post, though some will get Priority if it fits in one of the small boxes or envelopes. Remember, if you want to wait and see what else there is coming before I ship it, just say so in the message to seller when you check out.
Non-partisan Bundles
I really have no opinion about these bundles. Some fabrics, sure, I'm all, like, "Hey these fabrics SUCK" or "You know, I think I want to have sex with these fabrics, they are so lovely." But these, somehow, I cannot seem to form a strong opinion about. If they were fighting in a cage match, or, say, running against each other for some sort of political office, I doubt I could choose. I would pretty much just stay out of it and hoard my gold.
There are four bundles, two of the tan neutrals in the top picture with 10 fat quarters in each and two silvery grey neutrals with 5 FQs in each.
Tan Neutral FQ bundle: $10 + $5.35 shipping
Grey Neutral FQ bundle: $5.00 + $5.35 shipping
Riley Blake Bundle
21 fat quarters from the Felicity collection by Emily Taylor for Riley Blake. You can see the fabrics in a quilt here and in other places here. Yeah, this is not funny at all, is it? Right now my foot feels like one of those Bugs Bunny cartoons where he blows into his glove and has a big, bulbous hand. And right across my toes, there is this massive purple bruise—which just appeared out of nowhere today—and that's not even where it got hurt. Hey, at least I refrained from telling you about my husband's bathroom.
Riley Blake Bundle: $25.00 + $9.00 shipping.
