Innehållsförteckning för Issue 57 från Love Patchwork & Quilting

It's only taken me a year, but I've finally cracked one of my long-term quilting goals – I am a Foundation Paper Piecing convert! Lots of our contributors have suggested that it would appeal to the perfectionist in me, and they were (of course) absolutely right. I'm sewing with an accuracy that I could never achieve without those little paper templates, and I love it! There were quite a few un-picked seams along the way, but I still feel giddy with the success of mastering a new technique. What next? Right now I feel like I could achieve anything, with a little practice, and I hope that this issue inspires you to take a step into the unknown – be brave – and sew something you love!

CLEAN LINES AND COLOURS WITH A SPLASH OF PRINT ARE WHAT APPEAL TO ME MOST We daresay the answer is an obvious one… but what made you go by the name The Tattooed Quilter? Haha, I blame it on the tattoos. I wanted to pay homage to my quilting roots and did so with two tattoos: the scissors on my left arm and the pincushion on my right. I discovered the modern quilting movement shortly after and decided to start blogging about my quilting adventures. My roommate at the time, Evita, gave me the best advice, to start with a name and a logo. And after tossing around a few, we decided The Tattooed Quilter was the best fit. How does your day job as a fashion professional at the…

I’m a fussy cutter, and one of the by-products of being a fussy cutter is fabric scraps. Fussy cutters’ scraps are not like normal fabric scraps, they’re more like fabric Swiss cheese. I can take a half yard of fabric and make it look like a mouse has gone to town on the fabric. It’s brilliant fun. The downside of cutting into my fabric with such abandon is that I have to have a scrap storage system that works so I can find things once I’ve had my fun with motifs. I strongly believe that when it comes to fussy cutting you can use every bit of the fabric, there’s just a priority of use. I tend to use the elements for fussy cutting first (think full versions of the…

They say that the winter holidays are the most wonderful time of the year… but you know what I say? They’re waaay to cold! If you’re like me, you’ve already started gathering all of the necessary tools to combat the winter wind. My go to items? Some great mittens, a huge travel mug and a good stash of wool and flannel. Creating some warm, fuzzy quilts is the only thing that gets me through the ridiculous freezing Chicago months. I had to learn very quickly the best methods for quilting with fabrics like flannel and wool. I’d love to share some of my favourite tips and tricks, because after all, we’re all in this wintry world together – unless you live on the equator, in which case… how do you…
