Patchwork and Quilting | September 2012
We have some inspiring projects for you this month, and the Calendar Quilt is always an excellent example of this, with a different skill to learn each month. This month’s block shows you how to create a Dresden Plate design and the Calendar Quilt Extra project enables you to practise this skill with a stylish pair of oven gloves.
If you’re looking to buy your first, or a new sewing machine, then our Ultimate Guide to Quilter’s Sewing Machines is a must read! Amongst our selection of projects this month include two floral hanging features, and if you are a newcomer to patchwork then our Autumn Star Cushion is an excellent starting point to gain confidence with.
Along with a feature on one of the UK’s most influential contemporary quilters, Pauline Burbidge, we also have a review on the first International Quilt Festival of Ireland, held in Galway. Enjoy the issue.
