I still haven't gotten my copy of the magazine so I sent an email to COUNTRY HOME customer service. Seeing my little purse in print is even more surreal! I have sold a whole mess of them and have orders from several shops, so y'all know what I'm doing this weekend... ;0) Might as well, since it's raining like the dickens here.
Thank you again, sincerely, for all your encouragement and positive feedback. Means the world to me.

I got my copy of Country Home today and the first thing I did was to look for the picture of your purse!!! Gads, it is going to take me forever to save up for one. I hope yoru feed sack supply holds out. ;) Congratulations on all of your sales. That is just wonderful!

Hi Karin,
the wee size is less expensive. Oh, and I just bought a bunch of feed sacks (in addition to the 200+ I already had) AND some quilt tops, so there's no danger of me running out. :0)

It's on page 20 - the feature is called Romantic Ranch (I think - haven't had any coffee yet and I'm still a bit foggy). It's shown with a bunch of other stuff - end table, chair, blankets.

WOOT WOOT! Thank you.
I'm going gangbusters here. Listed six and sold three immediately. I may have to buy another sewing machine so mine gets an occasional rest...

Wow! The other day, I visited your Etsy store and you had a whole bunch. Today, they're gone! That's great for you, but now you really have to get sewing :)!!

Yup. Plus the wholesale orders that aren't listed on Etsy. And a couple of sales from my website. Guess you Farmgirls know what I'll be doing this week... Not a bad "problem" to have!

Hey, Ginny, I was in Wal-Mart today and walked by the magazine display. When I saw the Country Home magazine on the stand I rushed right over and started thumbing through it til I found your bag. I thought, "I 'KNOW' her!!!" So proud of you, farmgirl! The bag looks great (on page 20). I subscribe to Country Home but it sometimes takes almost two weeks from the time it's on the newstand til it shows up in my mailbox. I couldn't wait!!!!!
God bless -
Karen

Thanks, Karen!
I JUST got my issue today, so I can sympathize with you.
Looks like COUNTRY WOMAN is interested enough to possibly do a story, but they want photos of me, my house, my studio... I'm not sure I want to be that "out there." I don't subscribe to the magazine so I don't even know what it's like. Are any of you Farmgirls familiar with it? Should I or shouldn't I?
