Popular Patchwork Magazine August 2015 Edição anterior

This issue is packed to the rafters with projects, features and competition for you to get stuck into. We start our projects with Lynne Goldsworthy’s perfectly pastel creation Sophia, using Makower UK’s 50s inspired collection. Hot on its heels comes Strawberry Patch from Ruth Lazarus, a fresh and fruity quilt made using a combination of clever piecing and appliqué. If you’re going away this summer, you’re sure find a use for the pretty Quilted Cosmetic Bag by Wendy Gardiner from her latest book Fun With Fat Quarters. Jessica Alexandrakis joins us again this issue, this time with a paper-pieced Doll Quilt and Pillow from her latest title, The Complete Quilter. If you’re looking for a catch-all bag for the beach this season, why not try Kerry Foster’s Pascale Beach Tote. And to take your seaside memories home, what could be sweeter than Debbie von Grabler-Crozier’s Lighthouse By The Sea appliqué wall hanging? Mandy Munroe joins us again this time, with her Moorish architecture-inspired Blend Bar, using Blend fabrics, and in Heart Of Hearts, Sarah Sparkes shows us how to use sugar toned appliqué hearts to make a pretty cushion. In the last ever Quiltzone, Jane Rae rounds up the choice destinations from the digital world, and Anne Williams reports back from this year’s exhibition at The Welsh Quilt Centre. In Everyday Inspirations, Amy Fox explores the work of two authors writing about the inspiration that can be found in our everyday lives with the people we love. This month’s final Designer Showcase features Ruth Parker, winner of the Contemporary class at Festival of Quilts 2014. Jane Rae reports back from Kaffe Fassett’s fascinating Ancestral Gifts exhibition at the Quilt Museum. Be sure to enter our fabulous Brother Competition to win a sewing machine worth £850.
