Melody, Christine and Julia - you were all correct in your comments on my blog in November last year when I said the proposed article about the PNG Collective hadn't been published in Quilters Companion yet. You said that it can take a few months after an interview, for the item to be published. In today's mail I received a complimentary copy of Quilters Companion Issue No.65 - with a full page article on me with the PNG quilts on Page 107. Yaaay! Yaso will be delighted when she sees it, as I was. I've already had one email from a lady in Western Australia who read the article and contacted me to say she would like to make a quilt for us.
I emailed Yaso a few days ago to ask if she had distributed any quilts yet, but I haven't had a reply, so the chances are she is in some remote area of PNG and unable to send or receive emails. As soon as I hear anything from her, I will post an update here.
Next day...
I received a reply today from Yaso; she arrived home a few days ago, exhausted and with a sick tummy. But she tells me that the quilts were well received, and she got some good photos, so when she is feeling better she will send them to me.

Congratulations! So good that it finally got printed!
I bought the 'Quilter's Companion' so I could read your article. Love the photo and the article. Well deserved recognition for all your work. Sylvia
How exciting
Congratulations, Gina. I just had a look at the article in the magazine.
