Love of Quilting November/December 2017 – Fons & Porter
Are homemade quilted projects on your to-do list this holiday season? There’s still time to make those longed-for gifts, so let us help provide the inspiration.
In this issue, we’ve included a variety of challenging and intermediate projects, such as the cozy For Home and Freedom, a lovely traditional quilt, and Redbird, a wonderful holiday throw featuring fussy-cut framed cardinals and poinsettias. Feeling confident? Try Salsa a dramatic and challenging quilt to showcase in your home. We also feature the stand-out style of Hawaiian quilts with an article by Lauren Lang, who explores the history and tradition of this way of quilting.
During the busy days to come, try to take a few minutes each day to work in some sewing time. You’ll have those projects finished before you know it! Happy Quilting and Happy Holidays!
We apologize! We inadvertently omitted the five Tried & True test blocks from our November/December issue of Love of Quilting. Check them out!
