Editorial
This month's issue also shares the transition of seasons with Reeze Hanson's Beach Sand reminding us of the fun filled days of summer and Jennifer Strauser's Pumpkin Play and part 4 of Jaci Lawson's Witch's Broom pointing us toward the cooler days of autumn. Of course, it is never too early to work on projects for Christmas. We are nearing the end of Nan Baker's Christmas Greeting from the Sea with part 6 of 7 this month. As a number of you have shared on Pattern Pastiche, the embellishments can be changed to celebrate other seasons. For a quick Christmas project, be sure to check out Jaci Lawson's Trimming the Tree table runner. It would be adorable adorning your table or appreciated as a gift. Your fabric choices could take this whimsical project from playful to elegant. Speaking of gifts, Interwoven, by Barbara Hartnett would be a treasured bed quilt for a loved one. The striking design would be stunning in black, white, and gray. You may already be working on a gift with Victoria Rice's Char's Stars. This series is close to wrapping up with part 4 of 5 this month. Bottom line, TQPM, as usual, has curated a wide variety of projects for your enjoyment. I hope you find plenty of time to sew during this transitional month. BonnyPattern Sneak Peeks For a broader peek into the treasures between the pages of TQPM, purchase a copy of the current issue.

August
has always been a time of transition for me. It was the end of summer
and the beginning of the wait for school to start. (Yes, I was one
of those children who loved to go to school.) Vegetable gardens
were starting to produce their abundance and the days were slowly
getting shorter.
With
this design Barbara Gavlick Hartnett shows how just two simple
units can create a complicated looking design. Changing the
color placement within and orientation of the units is the secret.
In Interwoven the two simple units are the King’s
Cross Corner and the Primitive Heart. 
Reeze
Hanson has created a marvelous design to showcase the fabrics
in the Artisan Spirit Shimmer Collection from Northcott. Beach
Sand uses colors from the lightest tan to the darkest
brown with an accent of black. We have provided the information
so you can make your quilt exactly like Reeze’s. Feel free
to choose other colors to use instead.

Pumpkin
Play by Jennifer Strauser, uses two symbols of the season.
The basic piecing incorporates quilting cottons and fabric manipulation
to make a fun three-dimensional pumpkin collection. For a change,
the stems are created using felted wool.
