More About This Issue
Quilting is about more than just time in front of the sewing machine – like any hobby or business you’re passionate about, organisation is the key to efficient quilting. There’s something to be said for managing your quilting time and for designing a functional sewing space, these things help you get stuff done on a daily basis. But equally important is preserving the memories of our quilts for future generations. We go in depth on documenting quilts so that your legacy is more than simply ‘Maker Unknown, circa 2010’. It doesn’t have to be complex, but it’s important you find a way to document your body of work, whether you’re a professional quilter or a hobbyist.
In Issue 21, we MEET modern quilt superstar Libs Elliott, and renowned Australian quilt designers Jen Kingwell and Rachelle Denneny; we MAKE traditional blocks with a modern twist; and we MOTIVATE you to manage your quilty time with the goal of finding more minutes in the day to quilt. We bring you a gallery of photos of beautiful sewing spaces, teach you the math to making half-rectangle triangles (HRTs), review the latest books on modern quilting, plus so much more! The Mini Wonders Sampler Quilt pattern runs in six parts through Issues 19 to 24.
