I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some sunshine! I’m not talking about jetting off to faraway shores (although that would be very lovely), I'm talking about getting some vitamin D – that’s D for design – from closer and more reliable sources… Like starting with a rummage through my technicolour fabric stash (thanks for the reminder, Suzy Williams, page 32), and seeking out lots of sunny designs for my sewing machine. Feeling the same? Then you've come to the right place! We’ve got rainbows makes, floral blocks, tropical piecing, hypnotic circles, FPP hearts and more to bring colour and cheer to our sewing tables. After all, spring is just around the corner. Join us online... we love to share! LovePatchworkandQuilting LoveQuiltingMag LoveQuiltingMag www.lovepatchworkandquilting.com…

Tell us about your creative journey. While I have always been creative, I didn’t actively pursue my talents until much later in life. My mom passed away when I was a teenager, and my dad gifted me her sewing machine when I got married. It sat in a closet for a few years until one day I decided to teach myself to sew. At this point, I had a baby at home with me, but I felt isolated from the world, and I missed the times I had spent making things with my hands or learning a new craft. I wasn’t too familiar with blogging, but in 2011 I started owen’s olivia asawayto connect with people. The blog began as a home DIY and crafting blog with a few small…

Red and yellow and pink and green… why limit the number of colours you quilt with when you can sew them all? Set aside some sewing time, grab your stash of solids and get ready to surround yourself with the shades of the rainbow (and some snuggly quilts, too). Start small with Sarah Ashford's zippy case and storage baskets, or conquer curves with Rebecca Reid's delightful double-sided cushion. Mini HST houses offer a fun, fast finish, while vibrant appliqué provides the finishing touch to your next favourite tote bag. If it's the big guns you're after, add a splash of colour to your bed with Sarah's stylish pixelated rainbow quilt, or try her fresh spinning stars design. Don’t forget to share your colour-crushing rainbow makes with us on social media…

Floral prints started it all. Ten years ago, when I moved from the hustle and bustle of Washington, D.C. to the sleepier city of Columbus, Ohio, I began work at a less-than-exciting job and, in my boredom, I discovered blogs. I stumbled upon a blogger who posted a beautiful, summery patchwork quilt. Its pink and yellow palette featured primarily floral prints, and for some reason, it sparked a great deal of curiosity in me about sewing. I’d only sewn a handful of times in 8th grade Home Economics class, and even then, I’d never completed my class project. I was absolutely clueless, but I knew I wanted to learn more. I searched online for floral fabric, and suddenly my work computer screen was filled with images of the most gorgeous…
