Love Patchwork and Quilting issue 4

A happy New Year to you all ! I hope you all got into 2014 safe and sound and with lots of good sewing intentions.

A few days ago the fourth edition of Love Patch & Quilting flattered into my house and it features another quilt of mine and an article I wrote on solids. To say that I am pleased would be an outrageous understatement....

Do you remember my Sketch quilt ?

When I finished it quite a few of you asked for a pattern and I was willing to do it but building works interfered and when the magazine came along I suggested to write a pattern for it by making a new version of the quilt.

The new version is a reminder of seaside colours and the quilt does give me a warm feeling when looking at it.

So if you are interested in making this beauty and I promise that it is not very complicated and actually a lot of fun then go an get edition 4 of the magazine.

Patchwork Tsushin -London feature-

Remember  back in the summer when Naomi Ichikawa from the Japanese magazine 'Patchwork Tsushin' was in London? She came over here for a K. Fassett exhibitions and sought out a few quilters she came across on the London Modern Quilt webpage.

It ended up being a two hour photoshop at my just finished house and the images plus a story was published in October.

Sadly I can't read the story as I don't speak Japanese but it is such a good feeling to see the images. Do you see there in the background is my Lady's bike ? On on the small photo in the top right you can see that I painted one of the walls summer grass green....

 Collette Moscrop is also featured who is a member of the LMQ too. She not only makes beautiful quilts but is also a talented fabric designer and screen prints her own fabric.
