Magazine Description
In this issue
Bursting with light and loveliness, this month’s projects are a beautiful mix of styles and techniques, all designed to bring some much-needed sunshine into your life. Kicking off this issues makes with a distinctly Moroccan vibe, is the Kasbah Star quilt by Mandy Monroe. Creating stars from half square triangles, the result is deceptively simple! Debbie Von Grabler-Crozier’s Day Out quilt is another reminder of why quilts (like life) don’t need to be complicated as she mixes her squares with triangles and patterns with plains, to stunning effect. Lynne Goldsworthy has worked her magic and created the gorgeous Beachcomber quilt, while Judith Hollies has turned her talenteds to Rex- the ultimate dinosaur quilt! For smaller projects and quick make’s, we have the perfect Beachcomber tote, a rather cute Butterfly peg bag and the fabulous Ombre cushion. Away from the projects, Julie Sheridan catches up with collector-come-designer Christopher Wilson Tate and finds out about his vast collection of antique quilts and his exciting new collaboration with Moda. Dispelling any outmoded beliefs that quilting is women’s work, American designer Luke Haynes is the focus of this month’s feature From Building Blocks. With all this and much more, don’t miss this June issue.

Karen from Somerset emailed me recently with a dilemma I think most of us have experienced at some point in our quilting lives: “What are neutral colours and how do I use them?” Great question Karen, let’s see if we can give you a definitive answer…
Patchwork Of My Life Ruth Singer
Ruth Singer left a much-loved job in museum curating to follow her heart and has since become known for her amazing talents in stitching and fabric manipulation. Her recent projects have ranged from being an artist in residence and honorary fellow at Leicester University Department of Genetics to extending her Criminal Quilts project, which was originally commissioned for the Shire Hall Gallery in Staffordshire. Here we find out more about this versatile and scholarly artist.
History In The Making
When The Quilters’ Guild acquired a 1718-dated patchwork coverlet, it was clear they had something very special in their possession, but what of its mystery maker? Diana Woolf talks to guild curator, Heather Audin, to find out more.
