A Note From the Editor

I am so ready for spring to arrive! I'm ready for Mother Earth to open her eyes, wake up and bring forth her glorious colors.

While I love the cold days of winter for cuddling up and quilting, the time comes when I want to feel the warmth of the sun and be enlivened by the fresh new world as it returns to its vigorous activity. I want to throw open the windows and let in some creative ideas!

We have some great spring projects to inspire you. If you’d like to make a gorgeous new quilt to freshen up your bedroom, the Kingdom Quilt could be the one you're looking for. If you're thinking about a complete room makeover, quilt the Double Dutch and design your paint pallet and room decor around this fabulous quilt! Or check out the Tulip Bed Runner to add a touch of spring.

There is something for everyone in this issue. If you want to go on a picnic, we have the perfect tote to get your hot or cold food to your favorite getaway. Spruce up your tables at home with several great projects. If the colors shown don't work in your decorating scheme, change them to what suits you. The designs are great, and we have quilts for every skill level -- beginner to advanced.

It's a great time to spring-clean your quilting supplies and fabrics and actually see what you have on hand. You may find all the fabrics you need for one of the many quilts in this issue. There are several scrap-friendly choices. Take a good look at the potential each one may have. The possibilities are endless if you let your mind wander.

Piecefully yours,
