As much as I love my creative little hub (aka my desk!), I also enjoy venturing out of the office from time to time to see what's happening out in the quilting world. The LP&Q team have just returned from one of our event highlights of the year, the British Craft Awards, which takes place annually at CHSI Stitches trade show at the NEC. It's a fab opportunity to see all the latest fabric releases and catch up with talented designers (both old and new), as well as celebrate the people, stores and products that you, our lovely readers, voted for (see page 71 for the winners). And, on the subject of stitching excellence, have you seen our Deco Fans cover quilt by Lo & Behold Stitchery? It's one of…

Tell us about how you first got into quilting. I have my grandmother to thank for my love of sewing. Growing up, her house was full of cross stich kits and tapestries. Sometimes we’d complete them together, stitching out blocks of colour one after another. Other times, I’d watch in awe as she busied herself with needle and thread, slowly revealing the design. Though not a quilter herself, I think this early exposure unquestionably planted a seed. It would be years later until it bore fruit and I actually embarked on my quilting journey, inspired my both the quilts I’d seen in American films and the exciting work produced by the textile students when I was studying in art school. How did you come to develop your quilt aesthetic? With…

PREPARING YOUR TEMPLATES All of these shapes can be used together to make endless combinations of tessellating patterns. Use the templates as whole pieces to make hexagons, or simply fold and tear along the perforated lines to make patterns with all the other shapes. Once you’ve decided which templates you’ll be using, place one paper template on the wrong side of a piece of fabric and secure with a pin or a dab of glue. Trim the fabric around the template, leaving a ¼in – 3/ 8 in seam allowance all the way around (Fig 1). Swipe a small amount of glue along one side of the paper template and fold the fabric over along that side (Fig 2). Repeat on each side (Fig 3), working around the shape, until…

For the last 20 years, Immediate Media have been hosting the British Craft Awards as a way to celebrate the brightest brands and talents in the craft industry.

Ah, springtime. When the Earth seems, once again, renewed with the ushering in of longer days, warmer temperatures and colourful blooms. Sadly, as I write this, it is barely December. Snow is falling steadily outside, and I can’t seem to warm my bones no matter how many quilts I pile on top of me. Suffice to say, I am already anticipating spring’s arrival, though it seems I’ve got a bit of a wait. In the meantime, I’m planning ahead and pulling a bundle that will evoke those springtime vibes on even the coldest winter day. A cheery colour palette of coral, blush pink and golden yellow practically radiates warmth, so let’s get started! Following my typical method of curating a bundle, I start by choosing a hero print. Again, this…

EPP envy For nearly 250 years, quilters have been combining patchwork and paper in a technique known as English Paper Piecing, but – we ask – have any of them come up with a design quite as stunning as Tales of Cloth’s new release, Alexandria? Paying homage to an Australian quilt made in the 1800s from British soldiers' uniforms, it comes with ¾in hexagons and jewels, and 1½in hexagons and 6-point diamonds. Find the acrylic templates and paper shapes to make this masterpiece at talesofcloth.com, and follow the #alexandriaquilt Insta hashtag! OFF MENU To most, ‘sandwich’ evokes bread, cheese – maybe some pickle. To us quilters, it’s the holy trinity of quilt top, batting and backing. Make sure your quilt sandwich has the finest filling around, and treat yourself to…
