Patchwork and Quilting - January 2022

In dieser Ausgabe

Sometimes having a sewalong or deadline is the best way of ensuring you complete a quilt and block of the month programmes are excellent for this. I was more than delighted when Roz Johnson asked if I would be interested in another Calendar Quilt. Many readers will remember her original quilt from ten years ago which was a wonderful quilt. This new version featuring dimensional appliqué is no less wonderful and I hope you’ll be inspired to make your own version. The Scratchy Cat Cushion will bring a wry smile to the face of the cat lovers amongst you. For the traditional quilter we have the Rainbow Quilt, a Log Cabin style quilt. If you’ve received new baby news over the festive period the Scrap Happy Cot Quilt can be made in a hurry, or why not make the Pirates Quilt? The Drawstring Backpack is also a great make. Stuart’s block this month in Stashbusting will hopefully help you make a dent in your scrap pile.
Joanna O’Neill has been lucky enough to visit two exhibitions for us recently. First up is Resurgence featuring quilts from The Quilters’’ Guild while the Changing Minds exhibition is the second ‘Chinese whispers’ collection of quilts by World Wide Whispers. Based on an idea by Ann Hill, we’ll find out more in next month’s issue, but in the meantime, enjoy the quilts.
