YOUR GIFT Expand your creativity with our new template, which makes easy work of cutting 60-degree diamonds. It's a real gem: save time by cutting shapes from strips of your favourite fabric (we show you how on p33), while the trimmed corners remove any guesswork, too! The removal of these diamond points allows you to line up your pieces more accurately when sewing, so you can ensure picture-perfect seams each and every time. Better yet, we've included markings for five different sizes, so you can sew diamond blocks for mini quilts, king-sized throws and everything in between. Feeling inspired? Turn to p33 to make Satomi Hoar’s easy-piece mountain themed mini quilt using your nifty new template. Striking designs lie ahead!

If we believe what our Instagram feeds tell us, then there are a whole lot of hustlers out there – and by hustlers, I’m talking about the pattern-writing professionals. We’ve all had that thought: scrolling through socials, adding another not-quite-perfect pattern to your inspo board, you think, “What if I could write my own patterns from scratch?” There are thousands of amateur sewists who have come before you, fantasizing as they piece their hundredth Half-square Triangle of the day, who have gone on to make that dream their reality. Enter digital quilt pattern schools. These institutions, run by quilters themselves, exist to teach such dreamers how to craft unique patterns – as well as the not-so-visible tools of the trade. This includes encouraging creatives to find design niches, master industry…

This issue marks my eighth LP&Q Christmas (where does the time go?!) and you’d think by now I’d have run out of ideas for merry patchwork projects. Luckily for all involved I’ve got more than ever, and we’re filling the mag – and spoiler, next issue too – with fun patterns to brighten your festive season. Satomi Hoar’s put a modern twist on the classic Christmas tree, Paula Steel gives an appliqué touch to our favourite make: the tree skirt, and Mary Warren dips into her stash to present a show-stopping quilt and bonus stockings, too! And that’s without even mentioning Gaby Sartori’s extra-cute polar bear FPP mini. Be sure to swat up on Molly Price’s feature on how to turn your hobby into a small biz… there’s still plenty…

FIND THIS PATTERN IN ISSUE 117, AVAILABLE ON READLY, THE LP&Q APP & MORE! EACH MONTH, OUR EXPERT PAULA STEEL WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO MASTER ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF QUILTMAKING! TECHNIQUE FOCUS: FUSSY CUTTING FOR FOUNDATION PAPER PIECING INTRODUCTION TO FPP Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) is a great method for producing both simple blocks and more complex designs that would be hard to achieve with classic piecing methods. FPP uses a paper template with a printed design – think of it as 'quilting by numbers'! Seek out Paula’s in-depth guide to FPP in issue 117 or head to gathered.how. Combining FPP with fussy cutting can lead to striking designs and is a great way to attack that pile of scraps and small prints. It is also a lovely…

I wasn’t allowed to take Home Economics in high school. I’m not entirely sure why, but as a sensitive Black boy growing up in Louisiana, this was somehow the greatest slight to my creative spirit since my 4th grade wishing troll obsession was forsworn. Life at home was rough, but drawing, painting, and art were always encouraged. I didn’t know anyone who could sew (certainly not any boys) but I knew that quilts were considered precious things. Families seemed to gather around them and cherish them as artefacts of their histories. I didn’t have any quilts in my family (or much connection to family history in general), but textiles and décor always piqued my curiosity. I wouldn’t touch a sewing machine until about eight years later, when I began working…
