Love of Quilting July/August 2018 Digital Edition

Description

This issue is absolutely inspired! It includes patterns inspired by antique quilts and Mexican floor tiles, quilt block swaps and veterans—11 patterns in total, ranging from easy to challenging, with all the Sew Easy Lessons you’ll need to get you from inspiration to finished quilt! Three of the quilts made their appearance on the 3100 series of PBS’ Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting! The features in this issue have inspiration at their core, too. Australian quilter Michelle Yeo, with her masterful traditional quilts, is the subject of our Trunk Show, and her entire quilting career was inspired by her husband’s one simple request for “a proper patchwork quilt.” Dawn Cavanaugh brings us news of a shift in the world of quilting, and advice for inspiring newcomers to the craft. And we have a special photo essay from Trudy Cleveland, documenting the emotionally inspired creation and presentation of a Quilt of Valor.
