Give a Gift
Summer quilting is all about color, creativity and projects that make you smile, and this June issue is filled with exactly that kind of inspiration. From vivid statement quilts to playful seasonal accessories, these designs celebrate the bright, energetic side of quilting.
This month’s collection embraces bold palettes and striking shapes in a variety of ways. Sujata Ryan’s Electric Earth Quilt captures the drama of a colorful summer landscape through dynamic log cabin blocks, while Staci Wendland’s retro-inspired quilt pattern brings sharp geometry and Mid-Century flair to the mix. Smaller projects like the One in a Melon Table Runner and Retro Ice Pop Quilt Block channel the fun of summertime nostalgia with cheerful colors and playful motifs.
Texture and dimension also take center stage throughout the issue. Sophie Tarrant explores intricate hand stitching with her Maris Sashiko Bag and transforms fabric into stunning wall art with her Sparkling Quilted 3D Butterfly design. Meanwhile, Rachel Nielsen’s Navy Orange Peel Pillow Cover offers a softer, more refined approach with classic curves and timeless contrast.
Whether you’re stitching for your home, experimenting with new techniques or simply looking to sew something bright and joyful, we hope this issue inspires you to embrace every color of the season.
Happy quilting,
