QUILT, Issue #108 – February/March 2010
Think Spring…
…flowers and fresh air fun!
Dear Quilting Friends,
After the dull days of winter, it’s refreshing to think spring. As a young man’s heart turns toward love and the groundhog looks for his shadow, it’s time to welcome the new season with its flowers and fresh air fun. Just look at all the projects that we’ve picked to celebrate spring’s glorious renewal!
Ready for that first picnic after a frosty winter? You’ll love the folk art charm of A Tisket, a Tasket and the big block blooms of Flowers in the Park. Spend more time outside wearing the Sunny Day Apron, perfect for holding clothespins as you hang laundry to line dry. And, with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, sew a quilt with love: the sweetly romantic Timeless Love pattern paired with a vintage redwork pillow that says “I love you.”
Flip through this inspiring issue, drinking in a season’s worth of refreshing hues in fun designs. Color lovers will rejoice in three bright beauties: the twin block design of Gemini Brights, the paper-pieced twists of Kaleidoscope, and the frilly, girly fun of Sweet Girly Girl. For an economical quilt, embrace an old-time scrap quilt made from all the shades of the rainbow by the Sew Thrifty ladies.
I’m also excited to share our Master Class feature, where Jackie Robinson teaches ways to use her split stripe motif. The learning continues with a quilt-as-you-go lesson, and don’t miss new trends in quilting for 2010, a special report.
I hope you find pleasure in this cheerful issue photographed at the Inn at Old Virginia www.innatoldvirginia.com/ Our staff certainly enjoyed putting it together for you!
