The Quilter by Malcolm Orr

Don't miss the February/March 2012 issue of Fabrications magazine - it has an article by my husband Malcolm, which he describes thus: "I have written this as a little light relief, a piece of harmless satire, which has been fashioned out of respect for the subject, not to deride it! Possibly it will resonate with many quilters and their partners..."

You'll have to buy the magazine because I'm sure you won't be able to to read it in the picture above.

Malcolm's also been busy plugging his new book, Home Thoughts On Abroad. Make sure you get hold of your copy!
