August is the ultimate “between seasons” month, and since we can’t choose between summer and fall, we’re sharing gorgeous projects from both seasons in our newest issue! Debbie von Grabler-Crozier rounds out summer with a charming floral cushion cover, while Debi Schmitz shows readers how to create a dreamy pumpkin apron ahead of autumn. Loving the granny square trend? We’ve got two stunning granny square projects for you to enjoy, including Janice Bailor’s quilted vest that graces this month’s cover. There’s so much to love about all things August in our brand-new issue of We Like Quilting.

A rush of satisfaction comes from completing a quilt, sewing that last stitch, snipping those last threads. But take a few more minutes to make your masterpiece complete by creating a label for it with your name on it!
The creators of many beautiful heirloom quilts from yesteryear remain a mystery to us because they did not sign their work with their names. Quilts with labels give a glimpse of who made them, the times in which the quilt-maker lived and the celebrations, milestones and other important details of the quilter’s life.
A label can range from a basic patch with a name and date to a decorative creation in its own right. Using fabric markers, hand or machine embroidery and hand or machine applique, a label can be a beautiful addition to the quilt. Developing a signature font or motif can personalize your label and make it uniquely your own! READ MORE
