Well, as the LPQ team races to wrap up this issue before the end of the year, I have been looking at the projects in this issue and thinking, “Who would that be a good present for?” There is nothing like the gift of a quilt. It shows someone cares enough for you to take the time... and expense... to make it. And, remember, there is nothing wrong with treating yourself to a gift or three... depending how much space you have left in your home! I particularly love the snake design by Satomi Hoar on page 24. It put a smile on my face the minute I saw it, and what better endorsement for a design is there than that! I hope the projects in this issue put a…

Do you know the best way to baste your concave curves or how you achieve a crisp edge? Hone your patchwork skills and create beautiful handsewn quilts and complex designs by following our top tips to practising the traditional art of curved English Paper Piecing. Go on, get ahead of the curve! YOU WILL NEED ■ Glue – Paula uses glue to baste EPP shapes, her favourite is Sewline glue, but you can also use any washable paper craft glue stick, however a smaller tip is advised. ■ Paper/cardboard templates – Using pre-cut templates is preferable for curved EPP. It can be hard to cut curves with scissors so using pre-cut templates takes away that stress and means they are perfectly cut. Pre-cut templates also tend to be thicker, which…
