Popular Patchwork Magazine June 2015 Zurück Ausgabe

We’re ready for a long sunny season here at Popular Patchwork. Summer sorbets and tropical, rainbow-bright palettes dominate our June issue and will blow any cobwebs left behind by grey rainy days. In the first of our June projects, Dolly Mixtures, Anne Williams uses bright shot cottons from Oakshott to make a stunning rainbow strippieced quilt with a chance to win a free kit of the fabrics. Seaside scenes are recreated in Ahoy! A brand new quilt by Heidi Pridemore for Makower UK. If you like pretty fabrics, you’ll love Charmed Tiles, where Sadie Yeomans makes the most of a Moda Charm pack in her favourite palette. Pick-up Stick is a striking contemporary quilt, reminiscent of the popular childhood game of the same name, and is an adapted extract from The Quilter’s Practical Guide to Color by Becky Goldsmith. Summer fun for kids and adults alike comes in the form of Janet Goddard’s charming Up in the Tree wall hanging, made easy with fusible web appliqué. Our cover quilt, this issue, is the fabulous Bright Hopes & Bumblebees by Stuart Hillard, a sensation of soft hues, using Tula Pink’s new Bumble range for Free Spirit. In Icarus Star, Rebecca Bryan shows you how to brighten up your summer with a rainbow star quilt, an adapted extract from Modern Rainbow. And finally in projects this issue, Katharine Guerrier creates a stylish way to keep your e-reader or tablet safe in her Kindle Case.
