Love Patchwork & Quilting -julkaisun 64 -irtonumeron sisällysluettelo

We quilters often discover our passion for piecing at a turning point in life. Whether we decided to sew something for our first child, were seeking a fresh challenge like Emily Dennis of Quilty Love (find our chat with her on p48) or just moved to a town with a brilliant fabric store, we're all lucky to have found this special craft. And sometimes we quilt to mark these turning points as well. Kate Basti writes movingly this issue about making a quilt to remind her of home, and give something back to her community in the process. Playing with colour or trying new techniques is always fun, but it's the meaning behind those careful stitches that makes quilting so special. Join us online... we love to share!

Home. By definition, it’s a residence, a dwelling, the address on your junk mail. A place you retire to at the end of a long day, a place of comfort and warmth. More profoundly, it’s a place of origin. If I were a betting woman, I’d wager that each of you conjured up an image upon reading that word. Perhaps it’s a childhood home, maybe a home town. For me, it’s a half-acre patch of land in rural Indiana. On it sits a charming 1860s farmhouse nestled between corn and wheat fields, where the breeze carries the sound of distant farm work and the sweet scent of the earth. I left that home following my college graduation and have now settled in Ohio. Each summer, I make the trek from…
