Popular Patchwork - August 2017

Welcome to the August issue of Popular Patchwork! Packed with stunning projects in beautiful fabrics, your only dilemma this month will be what to make first! Whether it’s Michael Caputo’s exclusive Peaks and Valleys quilt or Judith Hollies’ aptly named Lotus Flower quilt, each project is a heady mix of fabulous florals in breath-taking colours. If you’re looking for something smaller we have lots of accessories and makes for the home, including the stunning Boho Glamping floor cushion, the chic and stylish Miranda bag or the very cute and simple Belt purse to name but a few!
In addition to the projects, as always, we have some great features for you. The Secret Language of Quilts, explores the story of codes and quilts in the time of slavery and the theories it has uncovered. Continuing with the focus on history, if you have ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a museum, don’t miss our Q&A with Sue Prichard. Senior Curator of Decorative Arts for the Royal Museums Greenwich, Sue discusses her current projects and reflects on her memories of the V&A.
So with all this and much more, August issue really is the must-have issue for the most discerning patchwork and quilters!
