Patchwork and Quilting Magazine March 2021 Edição anterior

Several of the projects in this issue are scrap friendly. I know we’ve all been working from our stashes more than usual this last year but the pile of scraps never seems to get any smaller does it? Janet Goddard’s Scrappy Crosses features textured prints left over from other projects but would look great in any selection of fabrics, while the Scrappy Mini Quilt will help use those little bits we keep but aren’t sure why. If you’ve got scraps that work together, then why not have a go at making the Pickle Dish Runner? Fly Past is made from a strip roll but could equally be made from scraps. If you want to treat yourself to some new fabrics, the William Morris Flowers quilt features fabrics from the William Morris collection from Craft Cotton Company. Stuart’s block in Stashbusting this month will give you plenty of practice making HSTs.

Looking after our mental health during the pandemic has been paramount and Dr. Kelly Fenton tells us about the numerous positives our craft brings to the Mental Health and Well-being of a Quilter. We meet Hilary Gooding in Meet a Quilter and Julie Alderson shows us her Sketchbook Inspirations. And finally, renowned quilter Barbara Chainey and her partner-in-crime, Chris Franses, bring us the first in a new series of articles of New Quilts from Old as Barbara shares some of her antique quilts with us which Chris re-imagines for today.
