Love Patchwork & Quilting Issue 39

Love Patch­work & Quilt­ing Issue 39 hit news stands in the UK on Septem­ber 14 and will be in stores in Aus­tralia & the US any day now.   This month I’ve been for­tu­nate enough to get to con­trib­ute anoth­er pro­ject to this awe­some magazine!

The Pas­tel Twist quilt is a simple fly­ing geese design that would be per­fect for a mod­ern baby or lap quilt.   It fin­ishes at just 50″ and was made with the gor­geous Pas­tel Thrift range from Art Gal­lery Fab­rics.   I love all of the prints in this col­lec­tion but the Bib­li­o­graphy print is just fab­ulous!   It’s the per­fect shade of pink which just hap­pens to be my favour­ite colour.

I don’t know about you but I’m always look­ing for ideas to use up the ‘dog ears’ from trim­ming fly­ing geese.   It just seems such a waste to pop them in the bin, espe­cially when the fab­rics are so pretty.   I saw a pil­low very sim­il­ar to this one on Ins­tagram as I was mak­ing Pas­tel Twist and knew that I needed one too.   Luck­ily I had some ‘dog ears’ in a ready to go!   It’s a cute bonus pro­ject that is quick and simple to make with any Fly­ing Geese or Easy Corner tri­angle left overs.

If you’re look­ing for a copy of Love Patch­work & Quilt­ing and can­’t wait for the magazine to hit a news stand near you check out the e‑mags avail­able through on Apple News­stand, Zinio or Google Play.    Its packed with bril­liant pro­jects from some of my favour­ite quilters includ­ing Nicole Cal­ver and Kar­en Lewis, what’s not to love about any­thing those ladies do!

Have a great week!
