Give a Gift
The start of a new year brings a fresh page, a clean cutting mat and endless possibilities. January is the perfect time to slow down and let your quilting daydreams lead the way. Start your journey by jumping into this brand new issue, stocked with projects that inspire a mix of creativity and calm.
Inside, you’ll find quilts that celebrate color, pattern and thoughtful design. A striking blue lattice quilt offers a soothing yet structured project for long winter weekends, while a vibrant arrow quilt captures the soft glow of a winter sunrise in fabric form. We’ve also included an upcycling project that turns well-loved denim into a chic pillow sham, proving that fresh design can come from pieces you already have on hand. For fans of timeless techniques, a classic card trick block gets a fresh update with a retro-inspired color palette that’s as fun to sew as it is to admire.
Beyond the projects themselves, this issue focuses on building knowledge you can carry forward into the year ahead. Learn about the different types of paper piecing, explore our Editor’s Picks for January, and discover ideas that spark new directions for your quilting in 2026. Whether you’re setting ambitious quilting goals or simply enjoying a quiet moment at your machine, we hope this issue feels like a welcoming beginning to the year.
