Bonnie Leman, the founder of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine in 1969, and a member of the Quilter's Hall of Fame, died over the past weekend.
Back in 1969, there were no quilting magazines as we know them today. I discovered QNM in the mid-70s, when it was still pretty much just that - a newsletter of few pages printed on rough stock with nothing but line drawings. It was a family effort and grew and grew until it evolved into the slick production that is today. Even if you don't like it now, it was a wonderful thing back then.
Thank you Bonnie, for helping to rejuvenate interest in quilting. If there is a quilter's heaven, Bonnie is there waiting for the rest of us.
