Quiltfolk Issue #28 Colorado Released (and I am in it!)

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

This is a pretty nice way to start October, which is the 10th Anniversary of my tierneycreates blog month (first blog post on October 27, 2013): Issue 28 of Quiltfolk Magazine – Colorado – hits newsstands today, October 1, 2023, and is available for purchase online.

I am featured in Issue 28: Colorado and here are the previous blog posts I shared about this honor: Quiltfolk Magazine Photoshoot, Part I, Quiltfolk Magazine Photoshoot, Part II, and Preview of Quiltfolk Issue 28 – Colorado).

Before I go any further, I want to give credit to those involved with the article:

Photography: The photographer was Melanie Zacek (Instagram: @melanie.zacek), and her stylist was Kimberlee Zacek (Instagram: @kimberleezacek)

Writer: The writer who did my interview was Dr. Sharbreon Plummer (Instagram: @sharbreon)

Guess what? Quiltfolk has provided me with a 20% coupon code (TierneyQF28) to share with family, friends and my social media family (those of you who have been with my blog a long time, we are practically family now aren’t we…or am I delusional, ha!):

I thought it was creative that they took one of the photos from the photoshoot for the article and made it into the coupon 🙂

Here is the link if you are interested in the issue (hey we can still be social media friends even if you do not read the article, no obligation):
Link to Issue 28: Colorado Info/Purchase page: https://www.quiltfolk.com/issue-28-colorado/

Although they are providing me with three (3) free copies of the issue since I am one of the quilter’s featured in it, I did go out to this link to buy another copy with the coupon code and discovered it worked for the year subscription also, so I got that instead.

Additionally I discovered they were having quite the special deal for their introductory $80 per year subscription price: besides the 4 quarterly issues include in the subscription, you could get one back issue for free (and Issue 28 – Colorado was one of the choices…) but you also got some free fabric (Riley Blake Shades of Autumn 5″ squares) and the ability to buy 2 more back issues 60% off! Not sure how long this deal is going to be active but wanted to make you aware of it.

I know I sound like a salesperson for Quiltfolk, but I just wanted you to be aware of this awesome deal.

Quiltfolk provided me with the photos from my photoshoot to share what I wanted on social media. I’ve selected a few of my favorites to share with you.

In the photo above they made me take off my glasses because of the glare from the sun causing my lenses to be very dark (they are Transition lenses). I never take off my glasses, I’ve been wearing them since 2nd grade and I feel naked without them, so I was trying to control my super awkward feeling!

Well that’s my big announcement to start October 2023 and my 10th Anniversary Month of being a blogger!

  7. Great pictures! Being asked to take our glasses off for any length of time is super weird and can only be understood by other glasses wearers, I think. But you look look just as natural and happy in that last photo as all the others 😊

  12. I just bought two copies, one to keep and a second for our Little Free Library. One lucky patron will be delighted to pick it up. I’m so happy to see you get this recognition. All the photos are as fabulous as you.

  13. Congrats Tierney, and I can’t wait for the issue to arrive! After seeing this I finally took the plunge and got a subscription. Have been hemming and hawing since they first started publishing and now of course the issue about my home state of Maryland is out of print. But here’s hoping at some point they reprint all of the out of print issues (I have a request in).

  14. Happy 10th anniversary! Couldn’t think of a better way to mark this than your debut in Quiltfolk magazine. All the pictures are excellent but I especially love the picture of you tucked into a quilt on the front porch! The only thing that’s missing is Mike (who would compliment this quilt perfectly) lying in your lap. Then again I think he’s the perfect pooch for showcasing the comfort of any blanket;)

  15. I loved seeing the pictures. I remember your talking about them being there, but this is really great for you! Thanks for the coupon information, too.

  16. Wow from museums to magazines. I see you climbing the ladder of success in that one photo. Art imitates life. Nice! Next up, that Hallmark Christmas movie. My starting point is someone finds a quilt in the attic, and the quilt’s design leads to an unknown family history that helps save the town from the mean villainous real estate developers/investors. Not sure how you feel about acting but get ready. You can make a cameo appearance as the wise business owner of the local coffee shop that leads the main character to discover the hidden message in the quilt that will save the town.

  17. awesome

    I used to wear my glasses all the time until about a decade ago, when I found I could see better (closer) with them off. But I need to wear them when I’m out, as distance viewing is better with them on…
