Dear Quilting Superstar,
Everything old [vintage] is new [cool] again! Old doesn’t have to mean outdated, and classic can be totally cool! This month, we’re going retro! Here’s a peek inside the May Issue of We Like Quilting!
Welcome to the 60s
We just can’t get enough Mid-Century Modern projects! Our Retro Mid-Century Modern Inspired Quilt has the retro color and bold design that reflect the style of the period. Use half yards of fabric in your grooviest, brightest colors. This is a cool combination of modern quilting with retro vibes.
Modern art and quilting combine in our Mondrian Inspired Hot Pad. This beginner-friendly piece takes its inspiration from the work of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Break out your bright fat quarters and fat eighths and transform them into a modern art masterpiece!
Farmhouse Faves
The Farmer’s Daughter quilt block is an evergreen classic. Now you can give that block a whole new look with our Violet Farmer’s Daughter Table Runner. Show off your favorite spring colors with this stunning table runner! This is a great way to put a cool spin on a quilting classic.
Two other quilting classics combine to create a retro-feel design in our Log Cabin Sun Star Quilt. Change up the whole vibe of this quilt with your own custom color combinations! The traditional 8-point stars stand out boldly, surrounded by colorful log cabin blocks. So much potential here!
She’s a Rainbow
It is virtually impossible to see a rainbow and not smile. This magical creation of nature makes me smile every time! Preserve that feeling of joy and wonder when you make the Rainbow Connection Quilt Block. Transform 14 colorful fat quarters into a big bold block of absolutely adorable rainbows. This whimsical project is a great choice for all quilters; beginning quilters will get the opportunity to expand their skill set, combining quilting, embroidery and applique as they craft a unique block of rainbows to brighten someone’s day.
Modern Mending Meets Timeless Tradition
When it comes time to mend a well-loved garment, the repair can actually contribute to the garment’s beauty. We’re going super-retro with our article, In the Details: A Beginner’s Guide to Sashiko Embroidery. Come inside the beautiful world of Sashiko embroidery and see how you can apply it to specific quilt blocks or to transform a mend from ordinary to ornamental. You’ll never see mending the same way again!
The patterns in our May Issue of We Like Quilting range from Easy to Experienced. That means skill and confidence building for beginning quilters, and interesting challenges for the more experienced among us. All these projects are designed to inspire you and brighten your day!
No expert quilting skills are required to make any of the projects in our May Issue. Each pattern in this issue includes a detailed template, pattern notes, and a complete list of the tools and materials you need to succeed. Let the creativity flow with this month’s projects. Let’s get quilting!
