Love Patchwork & Quilting的75目录

The British summer, so far at least, has been nothing short of underwhelming – but we're still feeling optimistic and this month the mag embraces an unapologetically bold tropical trend. Nailing this could-be kitsch look is an exercise in confidence, so if you struggle to dip into your stash and make a fabric pull for your projects, this is a chance to really push yourself! The key to a tropical vibe is to think outside the box: clashing colours and print mixing. Anything goes, as long as it's bright! Be daring with energising greens and splashes of flamingo pink, tear up the rule book and choose sunny, feel good shades that make you smile. Whatever the weather, pick a project from this issue to bring the sunshine to your sewing…

You run your business, Vacilando Quilting Co. from a mobile renovated Airstream. Tell us more! I launched my business as a side hustle in February 2015, two years after my husband and I began travelling around the country in our first Airstream trailer. Six months later, we moved to the Bay Area, I got laid off my remote day job, and decided it was time to take the leap and go full time with quilting. At the end of 2016, we decided to get back on the road and resume our travels. We usually spend a week or two in each place we visit, stay in campgrounds, work a pretty regular Monday through Friday, 9–5 schedule, and then explore the area we’re staying in on the weekends. The logistics of…

Let’s talk about inspiration. That mysterious, sometimes fleeting, magical mix of motivation and excitement can be a tricky and fickle thing. Well, I’ve got good news and bad news. The bad news is that unless someone has discovered how to bottle this stuff, there’s no sure-fire way to contain it. For that very reason, I always argue that when inspiration strikes, you’ve got to run with it. Savour it. Because, eventually, the well will again run dry. The good news, however, is that inspiration can be found anywhere. Personally, my favourite source of inspiration is nature, and this month I’m pulling a bundle based on one of my favourite places – our local conservatory. I’ve chosen a hero print that is currently one of my very top fabrics. Leah Duncan’s…
