Popular Patchwork Magazine - April 2015

In this issue

New buds are emerging, the lambs are in the meadows and we can look forward to brightening up our homes to welcome spring. Why not give your home a facelift with one of our fresh new designs? April’s issue gets off to a fabulous start with Angela Garrett’s striking Improv Windmills Cushion, or if you prefer a more folksy look, Margaret Lee’s unusual Cherwell might be just the ticket. For an added zing to your spring, a safe bet is the mouth-watering Fruity Trivets by Jenny Doh & Cynthia Shaffer. Bring the soft flirty pastels of the thirties into your home with the simple to make Add More Jam, by Mandy Munroe or open your arms up to the embrace of summer with the fabulous Honeycomb, by Sarah Fielke and Amy Lobsiger. Fancy some modern floral eye-candy for your arm this season? Well then perhaps you’ll like Debbie von Grabler- Crozier’s Springtime bag. It’s the
final part of our Sew Happy Quilt-Along this month with Mandy Munroe, so don’t miss out on that, and remember, we’d love to see your pictures of this and indeed any of the projects you’re working on. Our penultimate project this month is the super sweet Mini Binder by Cherie Lee, perfect for those quilt and fabric notes! And last but not least, in projects this issue, we have the second part of Regan Purcell’s Folded Sampler.

We’ve got the usual round-up of best picks from the digital world in Quiltzone and then in features we’ve got a fabulous designer focus, this time looking at Freida Oxenheim page with Gillian Cooper, Luke Haynes with Anne Williams and Sarah Impey with Barnaby Neale. This month’s Scrap Attack! With Stuart Hillard, features a Bricks and Mortar quilt, and finally we look at the fantastic fabric
produced to celebrate the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Alice in Wonderland in Liberty in Wonderland.
