Popular Patchwork Magazine - April 2016

In this issue

Welcome to Popular Patchwork April 2016. Spring into quilting action with the new look April issue of Popular Patchwork! From quick quilts to must-read features, we have all your quilting needs covered. We have a weather theme to this issue, starting with Lynne Goldsworthy’s cheerful cover quilt that is sure to bring some rays of sunshine into your life. Gillian Cooper writes about the links between fabric and the weather, and editor Elizabeth Betts tries out an easy way to use the sun to print fabric. Kerry Foster’s Hello Chevron! Project is a perfect way to use up long-stashed charm packs, and Judith Hollies takes inspiration from children’s toys to create her nostalgic Shape Sorter Street quilt with simple rows of patchwork houses and trees. The pretty Bird Cabin Quilt from Mandy Munroe puts a summery spin on a traditional block, and we have a chat about sewing, work and inspiration with Debbie and Kim from Six Penny Memories. There are also all the regular reads you have come to expect from Popular Patchwork, including Show and Tell, Bookshelf, What’s On, and in Let’s Visit we take a tour of Canterbury.
