Give a Gift
October is the perfect time to bring a little more color, texture and creativity into your craft room. Packed with patterns that celebrate quilting in all its forms, our new issue ranges from cheerful fall colors to playful patchwork to creative scrapbusters. There’s no shortage of inspiring ideas once you start reading!
Begin your journey into cooler weather with Megan Farrell’s Berry Blush Jelly Roll Quilt, where vibrant pinks and blues prove that fall quilting doesn’t have to stick to traditional autumn shades. In the mood for an eye-catching upcycle project? Before you donate that worn-out denim jacket in the back of your closet, consider giving it new life with Sophie Tarrant’s Lyra Quilted Denim Jacket Refashion which transforms a thrifted denim jacket into a wearable work of art, complete with a sunset-inspired scene made of fabric scraps.
And if you’ve been wanting to try puff quilting, Mallory Hill’s Alexis Puff Quilt Tote Bag (featured on the cover) brings this popular technique to a fun and functional fall accessory. There’s plenty more to explore, too. Try your hand at Debbie von Grabler-Crozier’s Scrappy Autumn Wonky Star Quilt Block, welcome a new arrival with Laura Strickland’s colorful Little Darlin’ Fall Baby Quilt, or brighten your table with Baby Lock’s Snappy Sunflower Table Runner. For quilters who love playing with color, Cabin Time Quilt offers a fresh take on oversized log cabin blocks.
Whether you’re working with precuts, scraps, thrifted finds or your favorite fall fabrics, there’s plenty of inspiration to keep you quilting all month long.
Happy quilting,
