Buy Issue 16 (Family) of Quiltfolk magazine. The circumstances surrounding travel during the pandemic (especially in late spring 2020) prompted Quiltfolk to create their first-ever themed edition, all about family. Quiltmakers know that families are a lot like quilts. They come in many colours, patterns, and sizes. In fact, specific quilts can describe families. Some families are wholecloth quilts: strong and stable, with few seams and no skipped stitches (until you look closely). There are "kitchen sink" scrap quilt families, where wildly different patches come together, hopefully harmoniously (though we know that with scrap quilts, anything could happen). There are old quilts and old families. There are young families, new as quilts made with the latest fabric and a fresh sewing machine. Then there are the tattered quilt families, the ones that look like they could fall apart at any second. But don’t despair, because as any quiltmaker will tell you, there’s a way to mend just about anything. What kind of quilt is your family? Perhaps it’s one made of memories, like Asake Denise Foy Jones’ Land of My Hands or Shiloh Holley’s quilt for her late father. Or maybe your family’s got a new lease on life, like the quilts coming out of Brittany Young’s studio. It takes luck, faith, and a lot of work to create a family quilt that endures. Even so, those who help sew it all together will tell you that nothing matters more. What is Quiltfolk magazine? Whether you’re looking for traditional, modern, antique or art quilts, this beautiful magazine has it all. Quiltfolk travels America state by state with a team of writers and photojournalists to uncover spectacular stories, meeting and interviewing incredible members of the quilting community – shop owners, designers, collectors, scholars, curators and everyday quilters – to learn about their lives and work. Each quarterly issue is a new and inspiring adventure! This magazine is available in PAPER format. 164 pages, offset printed and perfect bound, full colour on uncoated paper, completely advertisement-free. Printed in the USA.

Buy Issue 29 (New Jersey) of Quiltfolk magazine. New Jersey is a diverse and vibrant state known for its mix of bustling cities, charming suburbs, and picturesque shorelines. But this scrappy state has a long history of being underestimated, and New Jerseyans can be a little testy when their reputation is questioned. And rightly so, because New Jersey is not lacking in things to boast about, from bucolic state parks and wineries to the prestigious Princeton University. Quilters know their worth and deep history in New Jersey too. The Newark Museum of Art was one of the first museums in the country to recognise the importance of quilts, building an extensive collection, and some of the most celebrated quilters in the US make their home in this state.

Quiltfolk Issue 14: South Carolina + I'M IN IT!

I was so surprised, well shocked, to be one of the quilters chosen to be included in Quiltfolk Issue 14 dedicated entirely to South Carolina. And, the even bigger surprise was when my sister texted me after her issue arrived to tell me, "You're a cover girl!" Well, not really me, my quilt was a cover girl. Something else that's very special to me, is that's my grandmother's Singer sewing machine in the photo, the one I sat at with her. That's my quilt, Sew Charmed, on the cover. You can read all about its making and how I challenged myself to use a Michael Miller Cotton Couture charm pack received in a QuiltCon swag bag. In fact, my challenge quilts are the main focus of the article titled, Up to the Challenge, and was written by Riane Menardi Morrison. I'm still pinching myself over the fact, that the Quiltfolk crew actually came to my house one chilly winter's day. While Riane interviewed me, Mary Fons, yes, THE Mary Fons, and photographer, Azuree Wiitala buzzed around my house taking photos. Before they headed off to the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail, Azuree snapped this photo of Riane, me and Mary. Yes, that's Mary holding the first quilt I ever made. If you aren't familiar with Quiltfolk, it's a quarterly publication, better-than-a magazine, not-quite-a-book as Mary, the editor, describes in her post here. Publisher, Michael McCormick devotes each issue to one state so there's 36 issues to go. You may be interested in his recent interview with Stephanie on the Modern Sewciety Podcast. You can meet all the quilters included in the South Carolina Issue 14 at Quiltfolk here. A yearly subscription can be purchased here or single issues here. Paige with Mustard Stain - Photo credit Zzuree Wiitala and Quiltfolk These are the kind words that were actually written about me: Lifelong Southerner Paige Alexander describes herself as “a traditional quilter who loves modern quilting”. In her sunny studio, ribbons from local, regional, and national quilting shows line the walls. Alexander’s meticulous attention to detail and solid technique take her quilts to the next level, but it all starts with a challenge: Alexander found her inspiration by taking on challenges issued by guilds. The results are winning, indeed. I'll leave you with one photo from the pages of the Quiltfolk that contains treasures close to my heart. My Grandmama Hazel made the ceramic thimble and the sewing machine oil was from my Grandmama Sadie that taught me to sew. I've never won Best in Show for one of my quilts, but this must be what it feels like. Thank you Quiltfolk for including me in the South Carolina issue.

Well, my Farm Girl Vintage sampler quilt is almost finished. Here are all 48 of the 6 l/2" blocks, stacked in a pile. It doesn't look like much, but as you know, it represents a lot of time, and thread! I like this placement of the blocks. I've sort of placed them by theme, according to how my mind works.... The cherry pie is beside the canning jars, the mixing bowls are beside the milking can and the cow, the chicken is by the barn and the barn cat, the farmhouse is by the American flag and watermelon, and the honey bee is by the zinnia flower. You get the idea, lol! Other than that, the blocks are randomly placed, according to color. I took a black and white photo to make sure the color values were even, and I think they are. Progress, I sewed the blocks together with the sashing. I'm auditioning fabric for the outside border. I was going to use the polka dot, but I like the checked fabric better. I like how it's offset. I've got these fabrics that may work for the border too. I love the yellow! I'm using these stars in the outside corners of the quilt. I chose the sayings especially for Kennedy. Kennedy is my 9 year old grand daughter, and I'm making this quilt for her 10th birthday. Ssssshhhhhh, don't tell her! I sent the photos of the borders to my daughter, and she said that Kennedy would like this one the best! I'll show you the finished quilt top next week.... Thanks for your patience and stay tuned!

My grandmother, Minnie, was an avid quilter. When I think of Grandma my first thoughts are of quilts, chickens, and pound cake. She lived in a small town in Florida and raised chickens in her back yard. She also made the best pound cake in the world. I don't know how old Grandma was when she started quilting or how she even got started quilting. All I know is that quilting and Grandma were one and the same. Little did I know I would be bitten by the same quilting bug that bit her. I'm just glad my bug bit me after the invention of rotary cutters and Omnigrid rulers! My grandma used plain old scissors to cut her fabric, pieces of cardboard to make her templates and made her patterns from newspaper. She pieced her quilt tops on a treadle sewing machine and quilted them all by hand, always using the baptist fan pattern. This is Grandma in 1977 sitting at her quilting frame. She was 74 when this picture was taken but lived to be 100 years old! Her quilting frames were in her main sitting room and were suspended by ropes from the ceiling. She would just wrap the ropes around the corners of the frame and it would go up high enough overhead for people to walk through the room. When we would go visit Grandma the first thing we would do after hugging her would be to see if she had a quilt in the frame and look for her cake plate to see if her famous pound cake was under the cover. I have her quilting frames in my attic and I hope one day to frame a quilt in them to hang somewhere in my home. Grandma made this double wedding ring quilt for me in 1978 for me to have when I got married. At that time I was far from old enough to get married but definitely old enough to love and appreciate this quilt and recognize the sentimental value it would hold one day. That day is here. I have finally retired this quilt from being used on our bed. It is getting a little worn and frayed and I want to protect it from any further damage. Grandma never made binding for her quilts. She always just folded the backing over from the back to the front and sewed it down. I've often wanted to make my binding the same way but I see now that it just doesn't hold up well after years of use if it is made that way. Being a lover of white backgrounds I am so happy this quilt has white in it. Thank you Grandma! The backing is a sheet with some sort of Holly Hobbie looking doll printed on it. Grandma used sheets as backing fabric almost exclusively. This is Grandma and Grandpa at their 50th wedding anniversary celebration. I just hope Mr. LLQ and I are still this giddy about each other after we've been married for 50 years. I mean, look at the joy in their faces. And finally, here I am with my sad interpretation of a Dorothy Hamill haircut and a pale face pretending to be hand quilting at Grandma's frames. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Для этого квилта был сделан небольшой темный зал, очень красиво было: "An Annular Eclipse of the Sun", автор в каталоге значится по-японски. Let's continue. This quilt was placed in a dark room, it was very impressive, the author in the catalogue is in Japanese, sorry, the name of the quilt is "An Annular Eclipse of the Sun". Сегодня будут, наверное, более традиционные квилты, хотя могут попасться и Wa, и оригинальные дизайны. Today's quilts are more form a traditional category, although I could put here Wa quilts as well as original category quilts. А это один из моих любимых квилтов, потому что кот на крыше и вообще :-) One of my favorite quilts, because of the cat on the roof and ... just because :-) Думала, это будет последняя часть, но не влезло :-))) до следующего раза! Хорошего вам дня! Until next time! Have a nice day!

Wow, friends! It's June, which means that we are officially halfway through the Classic Meets Modern BOM Quilt Along, and it's the perfect time to get yourself caught up if you're a little behind (hint, hint!). This month's blocks were quick and simple to sew, and that's always a win in my book. *ps- if you're looking for this week's NTT, you can find it HERE. The first block for June is the X-Plus. This block has been around since the 1930's, but has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity within the last few years. Of course it has! It is a gorgeous block, perfect for showing off a fun variety of fabrics. I love the way this block looks in the Acreage prints, and I think the dark pink background is unexpected and fun. With seven different fabrics in the block, it certainly helped to refer to my planning sheet. Are you using yours to plan the color placement for your quilt, or are do you prefer to "fly by the seat of your pants"? It's all good either way! The Ribbon Star is the second block for the month, and though I love the end result of my block, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. When I planned this block, I intended for the ribbon to be dark pink. Though the fabric I chose is a teal/pink combo, and it's really the teal that jumps out. At a distance, the block looks orange and teal, rather than the orange/pink I planned. Like I said, the contrast is good and I still love it, I just may need to rethink the surrounding blocks to make sure there's not too much teal in one part of the quilt. Are you all caught up with your Classic Meets Modern blocks? I'm sure they're looking awesome. Remember, there are prizes at stake, so get those blocks done! 1. If you're a little late to the party, it's okay! You can still join in anytime. This is a Block of the Month Quilt Along, so we will only be completing two blocks each month. The pace is leisurely and it will be easy to catch up. You can get the Classic Meets Modern pattern in my Etsy or Craftsy shops (links on my right sidebar). As long as you have a finished quilt top at the end of the year, you'll be eligible for the prizes. 2. Remember, the link party opens on the 15th of each month, and will close at midnight CST on the last day of the month. You can certainly link to the weekly NTT post if you like, but be sure to link your quilt along blocks to this party, so everyone is sure to see your progress. 3. You don't have to have a blog to join in! You can link to an Instagram post, or even a Flickr account. Use the hashtag #classicmeetsmodernbomqal on Instagram! If you do have a blog, grab a button to let everyone know you're participating! You can get the button on my right sidebar.
