Take a look inside issue 168 of Love Patchwork & Quilting

Here at LP&Q HQ we’ve hit full-on festive mode. And as we know there’s nothing like giving something handmade as a gift, Christmas sewing starts now. We’re loving Cait’s Candy Canes quilt and matching cushion for their bold use of colour and sheer simplicity, while Jemima’s colourful quilt reminds us of glistening baubles or explosive fireworks, both staples of this time of year. In our Tech Focus, Paula Steel shows how to master the Pickle Dish block, followed by a bolster cushion patten that’s gone straight to the top of our Xmas to-make list. And then there’s the fun FPP Christmas tree blocks, our charming reindeer, and a colourful mini quilt that’s the perfect stash buster… plus so much more! Remember to check out our new website, simply-quilting.com. It’s the new home of Love Patchwork & Quilting and our sister title, Today’s Quilter. Enjoy!
