I was thrilled to receive the new issue of “Somerset Memories” over the weekend. It has been a very long time since I submitted anything to the magazines, and last summer two of my fabric collages were accepted for print.
The article is on pages 85 – 87 of this issue:
This fabric collage features my Grandparent’s (maternal) Orla Ford and Jessie Simms (later Ford) when they attended a one room school house in Redford, Michigan. My Great-Uncle William Simms and Great-Aunt Florence Simms are also among the class.
This collage is one of my favorite photos from my cabinet card collection. She is not a relative…just love her sweet face. Her name is Cora Zell and she was from Michigan. I found her at the local Antique’s Mall a few years back and wanted to make a piece using her.
I also have a fabric cone that was featured on page 73:
Thank you Somerset! :)
WEll they certainly are beautiful pieces. Congrats!
Congratulations! Both of your fabric collages are amazing. The way you captured your Grandparent's, makes me wonder what they did after the class picture! Beautiful creations!
congratulations! How wonderful! I iwll head out soon to get myself a copy. love this magazine!
A very deserving congratulations to you, Nancy! Your collages are beautiful and I love your tussie mussie too. You have such a talent and I could just look at it all day long.
Blessings to you,
Sonya

Congrats on the publication, Nancy! I think that your school house collage is my favorite of all of your fabric collage work.
I love that fabric cone, it's not only beautiful but it would make such a great home decor piece hanging from a door knob. I might have to borrow your idea and try and make one? Thanks btw for visiting my blog and for your kind words you left. I am always thrilled and humbled when an artist that I so greatly admire visits my blog and leaves me with warm/kind words. Thank you. I haven't received my new Somerset Memories yet, but as soon as I do I'll be looking for your amazing submissions.
