Popular Patchwork Magazine January 2015 Vorige editie

"January is a time for resolutions and new beginnings, so start your year with a promise to finish all those UFOs and start some fresh modern projects. We’re bursting with patterns and features for you this issue, so dive in and take a look. Stuart Hillard has made us a fabulous quilt this time called Read All About It, which features bright solids and a lettering print to create a bold and striking effect. In her Botanics Cushion Sarah Sparkes combines easy piecing with charming folk art appliqué to make a perfect accessory for your home. If you fancy having a go at something thrifty and completely different, Kerry Foster’s Hundreds and Thousands uses a technique that involves no piecing, but instead uses Heat and Bond fusible and all your tiniest offcuts and scraps! Angela Huddart brings us the exceedingly cute Birds and Bugs Playmat perfect for those new additions to the household. Sally Ablett joins us again this month with her New Forest Table Runner for Lewis & Irene, whilst Beth Studley brings us her Aboriginal-inspired Walkabout for Makower UK. Brand new for 2015, we start a four-part Sew Happy Quilt-Along with Mandy Munroe, and our technical editor Lin Clements shows us In Modern Mood, which uses easy blocks and a contemporary layout to create a striking lap quilt and finally we suggest some fun New Year Resolutions to make your quilting soar in 2015!"
