Adventures Magazine Projects

I was very excited to see two projects made from my Adventures fabric collection. It is always interesting to see the creative ways other artist will take in using the Adventures line. I have many projects in the works right now and very soon I will be releasing new patterns! Stay tuned for more!

Quilt Trends: Winter 2013 Issue

About Quilt Trends Issue:
Welcome! It's time once again to showcase some of the latest fabric collections and beautiful quilts for the upcoming season. For quilters, nothing compares to the excitement of seeing lots of colors and new prints when considering our next project. Thanks to our team of talented designers, we've included a variety of unique quilts and smaller projects in this issue of Quilt Trends to keep you happily ensconced indoors—so be prepared to be inspired!
One of our newest features is the "Trendswatch" report. Here, we highlight popular quilting-related products and items from shop owners, quilt shows, and designers as a springboard to entice you to explore more and to open doors, as well as to spark ideas.
With this in mind, one product gaining status in the quilting world is glue. Increasingly, glue warrants a place in our sewing studios and is valuable when it comes to creating three-dimensional appliqué, art quilts, or embellishments. Designer and sewing instructor Marinda Stewart gives us ideas and guidelines on when and where to use glue as a quilting tool (see "Stick to It" on page 80).
Our featured fabric designer is Michele D'Amore (see page 36). Her style is modern; her approach, contemporary. Michele has a talent for balancing tones, shades, and print scale with her beautiful artwork. Her Contempo fabric collections for Benartex are truly a modern sewist's delight and work perfectly for home décor.
As always, our goal is to inspire you with lots of trendy colors, patterns, and ideas. Remember, save your leftovers—there are lots of clever ways to use smaller fabric pieces!

Winter 2013 Issue

Lovely as a bed quilt or living room accent, Northern Lights whirls with color and energy. The geometric prints and beautiful shades of blue, green, and purple add excitement to traditional, easy-to-piece spinning blocks
