Popular Patchwork - October 2016

The October issue of Popular Patchwork is crammed full of amazing makes and must-read features. With summer turning to autumn we have lots of projects to mark the changing of the seasons. On the cover is the cute and cuddly Woodland Friends quilt from Judith Hollies. Featuring sweet appliqué motifs on a textured linen background this is an ideal make for the home. Anita Watson-Jackson’s suit carrier is handy for keeping summer jackets dust free through the cooler months, and Regan Purcell’s Autumn Flowers throw takes inspiration from the season’s colours. Lynne Goldsworthy’s beautiful Falling Leaves quilt is a fresh, modern take on autumn and will be favourite with those who love foundation piecing.

The team report back from the Festival of Quilts 2016, and the winners of the Sketchbook Quilt Competition are announced. With interviews with Alistair MacDonald and Stephanie Crawford, competition prizes which total over £650, plus the latest quilting news this is an issue not to be missed.
