So,
you want to write for us? We'd love to hear from you!
Below
you will find submission guidelines for Quilting Arts and Cloth Paper
Scissors, as well as our special issues of Quilting Arts Gifts,
International Quilt Festival: Quilt Scene, Studios, Modern Patchwork, and Stitch.
If you're not sure which magazine to submit to, don't worry. We consider all
submissions for the best possible placement.
International Quilt Festival: Quilt Scene is our annual issue of fresh ideas for today's quilter including patterns
and projects, galleries of beautiful quilts from the International Quilt
Festival in Houston, interviews, tips, and more.
Please note: The focus of this magazine is not art quilting, rather, it
celebrates the traditional-but with a lively, contemporary spin. We are looking
for articles geared toward both the traditional and intermediate/advanced
quilter.
We encourage all submissions, however, we are specifically looking
for:
- Quilted Projects
and Patterns-Anything from a hip home dec quilted pillow or tote to
patterns for a bed-size quilt, baby quilt or table topper.
- Quilting
Techniques and Tips-We are particularly interested in quilt design, tips
for machine quilting, easy ways of binding and finishing, sewing and
machine tips for a new quilter, explanation on needles, threads for
specific uses, etc.
If you are interested in being a part of this special issue and
have ideas for articles, please email your ideas and a jpeg (or two) to: submissions@quiltingarts.com. Please put in the subject line: QUILT
SCENE PROPOSAL in capital letters. The deadline for submission is May 25, 2012.
