Patchwork and Quilting - July 2022

In dieser Ausgabe

Sadly this is the last issue of P&Q but we still have some great articles to inspire you. Some quick pieced quilts for you this month featuring fabrics from Art Gallery Fabrics – The Great Outdoors Quilt is the perfect quilt for lounging on in the garden, while the cute Petite Circus Playmat features classic circus figures. If pastel quilts are your thing, then perhaps the Butterfly Bows Cot Quilt will inspire you; it can also be made quite quickly. The Sewing Machine Throw Cover features haberdashery fabrics from Makower and will keep the dust off your machine when it’s not in use. Stuart’s Stashbusting block this month is an old classic. As this is the last issue, we are going to be unable to finish the Calendar Quilt project I’m afraid; a different quilt setting alternating the blocks with plain squares will enable you to make a quilt at least. Not finishing the quilt as Roz designed it is one of the hardest parts about the magazine closing, for both of us.
We’ve got some excellent articles for you to read this month. Helen visited Quilts UK for us and has reviewed the winning quilts in the first show at Malvern for three years. On a more personal level, we take a look at the Icknield Quilters recent exhibition celebrating their 30th anniversary. We also visit the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow while our regular Colour Me contributor, Kenzo Nakamura explains the background to some of his recent designs in Exploring Pentagons.
And so, there we have it; 335 issues over thirty seven years, from humble quarterly beginnings to a monthly magazine enjoyed by many. I want to thank each and every one of you for reading and enjoying the magazine over all those years.
