Thank you! I was pleasantly pleased with the numerous comments regarding the impending birth of our Irish Quilting magazine. So much so, please indulge me as I solicit even more information from all you quilters (and nonquilters--join in!).
We are working around the clock to ensure our premier issue, launching in October, is a what YOU want out of your new quilting magazine, Irish Quilting.
We are in the imagery phase, so if you spot the cameras and quilts over yonder, you can bet it's us. Irish Quilting magazine highlights the gorgeous scenery, indoors and outdoors, of Ireland. If you're local and you've got a colorful quilt prime for modeling, give me a jingle.
What are your quilting questions?..Tips, techniques, history, what's what and who's who of quilting... Now's your time to ask and we'll track down the answers.
Also, feel free to scan the topic titles below and rattle up some questions. Comment here and we'll do our best to print some answers! Alternately, if you have favorite designers or fabric lines (especially Irish), quilting notions, puh-lease plug away, you just might see them between the pages of IQ.

Sherry, I'm very interested and excited in your magazine. It will be available state side as well?
Yay, Sherry! I'm still cheerin' you on from across the pond....
Even though I'm not a quilter, I've always been fascinated with the history of quilting, local traditions/patterns and how the art has been handed down through families.
