Love Patchwork & Quilting 65의 목차

Quilt shows are so inspiring. You can chat to fellow fabric fanatics and top up your stash (ahem!) but the incredible art on display is often what really stands out. The sheer time and effort that goes into each piece is breath-taking, but can also be a little intimidating if you're new to the craft. If you've been looking at pics from Festival of Quilts on Instagram and thinking, "I could never do that", just remember every quilter there probably started out with plain ol' squares. With that in mind we've got lots of fab projects in this issue to help you hone your skills, whether that's perfecting HSTs, curves or paper piecing. So dive in and try something new. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve! Join us…

If you've got your hands on a copy of issue 64, you may have read our column 'Give a little TLC' by Suzy Williams on caring for your sewing machine. Here, she explains that every machine is different and recommends oiling your sewing machine every three bobbins. While this may be true for front loading bobbin machines, please note that you should avoid oiling Brother and other top loading bobbin machines as this can damage the machine. If you're unsure about your sewing machine, always consult the manual for your machine.…

I felt very aware that I was creating a disposable product, and that the life-cycle of that product was my responsibility, not just my customers' How did Tales of Cloth begin? My husband Tim and I came up with the idea sitting around the fire one evening. We’d moved to the country and worked for an organisation with a focus on mentoring young people. We’d both been in academia in a past life – a skill not really useful in the country! We were brainstorming ways we could supplement our income while possibly also offering employment in town. This one night, while stitching an English Paper Pieced quilt, I suddenly asked Tim, “Could you cut English Paper Pieces with a laser cutter?” And Tim, an electronic engineer, sat straight up,…

Nautical but nice Hot on the heels of her striking summery designs for issues 61 and 63 of LP&Q , Kristi Schroeder proves there's no rest for the quilty with yet another pattern release.

Autumn has been my favourite season for as long as I can remember, and what’s not to love? The trees put on their annual show with their gorgeous hues of crimson and golden yellow. The cooler temperature ushers in sweater weather, campfires, trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving. And perhaps best of all? Warm and cosy quilts. There’s no better time to put those quilting skills to use! When choosing an autumn colour palette, I tend to think of those golden yellows, candy apple reds, deep orange hues and earthy browns. First things first, I get to work finding the perfect hero print for my bundle, and I quickly decide upon Baum from Leah Duncan’s new line No Place Like Home. I’m drawn to its large pops of orange, as well as…
