Summertime Blues: Who can resist the crisp combination of blue and white? It’s a winning combo that seldom fails whatever the subject. This month our talented designers have tapped into this timeless trend to create a stunning collection of quilts and projects, in beautiful fabrics to take you into summer.
Lynne Goldsworthy gives a traditional block a modern twist with her School House Blues quilt (page 24) while Judith Hollies has kept it simple with her lovely strip pieced quilt, Ebb and Flow (page 60). For a distinctly fifties vibe check out Janet Goddard’s Spotty Dotty quilt (page 18), and for a deceptively simpler-than-it-looks quilt (often a bonus when going for the wow-factor) look no further than Kerry Foster’s Stunning Connections 4 design. Away from the patterns this month we are launching the first in our brand new Block of the month series, kicking off with the Old Tippecanoe design. Don’t miss this new series and discover how you can win a fabulous Bernina sewing machine!
