In this issue, we’re inviting you to meet incredible makers like Sue Bone, who quilts from a little island off the coast of France (yes, dreamy!), and Jennifer Marks, a North Carolina artist who stitches with purpose and joy. Their quilting journeys are rich with wisdom, creativity, and that spark we all need when we’re feeling a little “meh” about our sewing mojo.
Need a dose of inspiration? We’ve packed these pages with it. Whether you’re working through your jelly roll stash, playing with layer cakes, or pulling scraps from the bottom of the basket, the 10 fresh patterns in this issue will have your rotary cutter dancing in no time.

We also explore the deeper side of making – the stuff that feeds your soul. From art quilting to vintage inspiration, teaching the next generation, and even better sleep for quilters, there’s plenty to motivate and nourish your creativity.
And if you’ve ever made a mistake mid-project and thought, “Well, that’s ruined,” – we’re here to say: It’s not. In fact, it might just be the beginning of something magical. 💖
Their needles are sharp (we hope!), their stories are rich, and their passion for quilting is absolutely contagious. With decades of quilting between them, powerhouse quilters Sue Bone and Jennifer Marks share how creativity, community, and a love of fabric have shaped their quilting journeys.
