Editorial
Yet springtime has another definition, “the early part or first stage of something”, and you may be itching to start new quilting projects. The beauty of spring-green shoots bursting through the soil, birds returning from warmer climates, and sunshine pouring through our windows can inspire us to start new projects. For most of us, the threat of winter storms is over. It’s time to go to that quilt show, take that workshop, or go on that retreat. Treat yourself to a new quilt book-Nancy Noah reviews a good one here-and then go to your LQS (local quilt shop) and select some bright, new fabric to start a new pattern! Before you know it, summer will be here. Be prepared for picnic time with Midge Kincaid’s adorable Watermelon Parade table topper. Even the ants are coming! Happy Quilting! BarbaraPattern Sneak Peeks

Spring
has sprung. Because it’s getting warmer and the days noticeably
longer, we are less likely to want to hunker down and quilt. Gardening
and outdoor activities may be taking priority. It may be harder
to find much time to quilt this month, so you might want to just
follow along with the BOMs you’ve already started. We wrap
up Jaci Lawton’s My Favorite Mystery Redwork BOM
in this issue, and we continue along with Nan Baker’s Christmas
Greetings from the Sea and Veronica Norris’ Tangerine
Kiss Sampler.
Cindy
McCoy’s Cactus in Window allows you to use
your favorite appliqué method. Whether it is needle-turn,
freezer paper, or paper-backed fusible web, this delightful
wall hanging could be ready for Cinco de Mayo.
A
one-patch quilt with minimal color choices make an impact
in a simple modern design that complements any nursery. Donna
Westerkamp chose a lovely palette of gray and yellow for her
Random Diamonds, but a blue and yellow palette
or even primary colors will make this charming baby quilt
a hit!
Jaci Lawson provides her charming artwork for this ten-month,
redwork embroidery BOM quilt called My Favorite Mystery
Redwork. It’s cold outside. Put your mittens on
with block 10 of the BOM. Project started in the July 2018 issue.
Join
this fun BOM Tangerine Kiss Sampler quilt by Veronica
Norris. This pattern can be made with scraps, fat quarters,
or yardage based on 42" wide fabric. Add the Flying-X and
Rising Star blocks to your quilt this month. Project started
in the February 2019 issue.
Do
you have a few One Block Wonder hexagon blocks
left over from another project and are wondering what to do
with them? If so, Carol L. Stearns took her leftover hexagons,
added petals, and created Hexies in Bloom just
for you. If you don’t have leftover hexagon blocks, that
is fine too. Carol provides a template and instructions for
you to create them from your favorite fat eighths.
Sure
to bring a smile to every table, Midge Kincaid’s Watermelon
Parade table topper is just the thing to brighten your
summer time decorating. Quickly fused appliqué and easy
piecing make this project tempting for more than just the ants.
Join
the Christmas Greetings From the Sea dance by
Nan Baker and Terry Casey. Project started in the March 2019
