A NEW QUILTING MAGAZINE ON THE MARKET

When I saw the advertising in various quilting magazines and on the Internet about a new magazine soon to be published called Modern Quilts Unlimited, I decided to take a chance and subscribe.  The premier issue arrived in my mailbox several weeks ago but I kept forgetting to write a post about it.  If I hadn't checked the list I keep for posting ideas, it would have slipped right past me.



There were several patterns in this issue that I liked – such as the Dresden plate called “Eating in Bed” found on page 17.

This is a very traditional pattern made with exciting colors and fabrics that are oh so cute.  There is even a cute "quilt as you go" iPad Cover.  I may have to make this one for my Mom’s new iPad.

Furthermore, there was a profile of  improvisational quilter Jacquie Gering who apparently is a huge influence in the modern quilting world.  My favorite quilt in this whole issue is one of Jacquie’s called “Outside In.”



Isn’t it just gorgeous – both the design and the quilting.  I can see how she became so influential.

There are 12 patterns for all in three different experience levels, plus several pages of fabrics suitable for the “modern” look.  I am more into the solid colors and especially like the pillow pattern found on page 45.

Keep this in mind during these Winter months:

“Buttons and patches and the cold wind blowing,
The days pass quickly when I am sewing.”
