Patchwork and Quilting  |  October 2014
So, as we prepare to hunker down for winter we have some autumnal, cosy quilts to inspire you this month. Fox & Friends is a quick quilt featuring a cute collection from Lewis & Irene. Owls are always very popular and the Stitched Owls wall hanging would make a lovely quilt for any bird lover. Lord of the Manor combines two things very much in vogue in quilting at the moment, paper piecing and the eagerly anticipated second fabric range from the Downton Abbey collection. The Dresden Plate wall hanging uses feedsack fabrics, read more about the history of these fabrics in Go West Young Man. In our features Judi revisits Busy Bees in Newport as they open the doors to their new premises following the devastating fire that destroyed their shop last year. And we also have a review of this year’s Festival of Quilts where P&Q sponsored the Traditional Quilts category.
