Patchwork and Quilting - January 2017

In dieser Ausgabe

With the start of the year still being a busy time for us all we have some small makes for you in the January issue. Our cover shows the wonderful Mosaic Moth Cushion, a new technique for you to try. If your New Year’s resolution is to try new techniques, then the African Violets Cushion has them aplenty! The Dala Horse Cushion is a simpler make if time is short. Use your bright prints in the Pinwheel Fun Baby Quilt or practise your appliqué skills with Tahiti Sunrise while the Serenity Quilt is quick pieced and allows you to try different layouts to make your quilt unique. We take a look at two group exhibitions; Dulwich Quilters and Gone to Pieces while Joanna O’Neill introduces us to the world of making Journal Quilts. We look at the work done to help people with learning difficulties create textiles in Waste to Waist and I tell you about my visit to Makower UK’s new offices (it’s a hard life looking at new fabrics!). Going large we look at the wonderful artwork by Georgia O’Keeffe for inspiration.

New for 2017 we introduce a new short feature First and Last and Colour Me, your chance to colour some of the designs in each issue.
