Quilt Now - UK (2020-04)

A

s we go to press, the world looks a little diff erent from last month as we

all adapt to the changes we have to make in light of COVID-19. Many

of us will be staying indoors more than we are used to but I hope that

quilting and this lovely community will bring some comfort. Whether it’s calling

up quilting friends for a chat or sharing your makes in our supportive Facebook

group ( http://www.facebook.com/quiltnow), quilters truly are a wonderful bunch of

sharing and caring people and together we can help one another out and keep

each other inspired during this tricky time.

Plus, if you can’t make it out to the shops then don’t worry as we’re off ering free

UK delivery to your door at http://www.moremags.com so you can keep up to date

with all the latest projects, news and techniques at no extra cost.

This month the talented Janet Goddard shares a brilliant guide to appliqué and

talks you through how to use your appliqué templates to make a one-of-a-kind

fl oor cushion covered with mix and match plants. I can’t wait to see how you are

all using your templates so please do share them with us.

We’re also celebrating the colours of the rainbow with lots of gorgeous designs

to help brighten up your sewing rooms and homes. Paula Steel uses the new

Alison Glass Sun Print collection to great eff ect across our beautiful cover quilt.

Turn to page 12 to fi nd the step-by-step pattern. For more rainbow inspiration,

check out Lou Orth’s Lucky Star baby quilt on page 34 and a great quick-make

strip-pieced cushion on page 94.

I hope you’ll fi nd lots of fun ideas and projects to add to your list inside this

jam-packed issue of Quilt Now. Take care of yourselves everyone and don’t

forget to share your makes with us online using the hashtag #quiltnow.
