Popular Patchwork - May 2016

Bu sayıda

Welcome to Popular Patchwork May 2016. Summer is nearly here and we have a fabulous flower theme to our May issue.

On the cover is Mandy Munroe’s Fabulous Flowers Quilt which makes a bold statement with bright fabrics and curved piecing. If you love applique you will want to make Suzanne Fisher’s Scrappy Baltimore Quilt, and Fiona Hesford’s Pretty Plant Pots will give a quick and easy update to your shelves. Sadie Yeomans' Mon Ami picnic throw is the perfect addition to summer days out, and for a quick make look to Brenda Dean’s clever 1,2,3 Go Cushion.

As always there is plenty to read too. We have our regular features that include Show and Tell, Bookshelf, What’s On, and Let’s Visit, plus Sara Cook meets the textile artist Alice Fox. Our Editor Elizabeth Betts takes a tour of a needle factory to find out how they are made and Anne Williams takes a look at the work of Averil Colby, one of the most influential quilt makers of her time.
