More About This Issue

We’re passionate about creativity and believe creative pursuits are vital for living a well-rounded life. But how many times do you hear people say they don’t have time for it? One thing all successful, productive quilters have in common is that they make time for their craft. And whether you’re working full time or retired, have kids to take care of or long travel commitments – you can make time to quilt. Sometimes it’s a case of carving out a day to spend time with your friends in a sewing group, other times it’s starting a portable hand sewing project if you spend a lot of time on the road. For some of us, quilting time is racked up in 15-minute increments.

This issue, we’re MOTIVATED by modern text quilts with a gallery and a project, and an article on developing a quilting system. We MEET modern quilters Elizabeth Hartman, Tiffany Horn and Brooke Osborne, three inspiring women with a fantastic eye for colour and design. We MAKE a transparency quilt, star quilts, Liberty and modern text quilts, and mini quilts too – patterns for 13 beautiful modern quilt projects are included in this issue. The Medley Medallion Sampler Quilt runs in six parts through Issues 25 to 30. We chat about quilts on the catwalk, FMQ – learn new quilting motifs through doodling, listening to podcasts while we quilt, and our favourite quilting techniques, plus book reviews from the latest modern quilt books.

Super customer friendly subscription service and so completely worth it. This is a source and resource, continual inspiration that will keep your mind creating beyond the norm for years to come.

-basic skill tutorials
-great patterns at various skill levels
- final and my favorite is that it is International. It includes quilters from all over the world.

Yezenia Cadena-Malek

Love the inspiration and explanations offered in this magazine! As someone who’s looking to move beyond beginner quilts, the great detail but often simple instructions are a godsend for me. Plus the amazing designs and maker stories offer such insight that my “to make list” is growing with each edition. I don’t get to lessons very often, so this... is such a fabulous ongoing resource for me, with lots of “ah, so that’s how you do it!” moments while reading. Keep it coming team...read more
