Love Patchwork & Quilting Magazine Issue 24 Edizione posteriore

Last month we were dreaming of sun-soaked holidays abroad. But wait – what's that fireball in the sky? Sunshine to brighten our day! Time to take off those well-worn winter woolies, and treat your tootsies to some hard-earned al-fresco action! Karen Lewis' gorgeous vintage-sheet quilt is the epitome of lazy summer days outside. Pretty dusky florals mixed with a carefree vibe – very Summer of Love! With a similar muted palette but very different heritage is our Amish inspired quilt by Jennifer Campbell Kirk. The colour blocking combined with attention the detail evokes composure and simplicity without losing any warmth. Popping back indoors for a cool drink often results in bare feet on cold floors, so employ Svetlana Sotak's patchwork rug to make the transition less of a shock! Indoors or out, Ali Burdon's pretty cushions will make relaxing a breeze, while Jessie Fincham's lunch set keeps things nicely chilled.
