Hi, my name is
Carolyn Vagts and I'm the editor
of Quilter's World magazine.
Here is a sneak peek
at our next issue.
I think you will find
our October Quilter's World
issue exciting. The projects
are exceptional because we
have exceptionally talented designers
contributing to every issue.
Our goal
is to bring you the latest and
greatest in quilt design and products.
I do have an interest
in bringing you the best. I
also am a quilter, so I
take my job very seriously.
If it's newsworthy and I
know about it, so will you.
Our theme for the October
issue is the Color
of Autumn. Each fall,
as the summer ends, we are blessed
with nature's show of color.
For many quilters, this
is the inspiration that gets them
back on track with what they love:
quilting.
Cooler days and evenings lead
us back inside and the creative
juices begin to flow. I
know I am very excited about this
issue. There's several
projects that are calling to me.
I'm ready to start a few new projects.
It's time.
Family & Friends—This
quilt has so many possibilities.
The designer, Bev Getschel,
suggested it be used
as a family tree
or as a signature quilt. It
could be used for either
or just maybe as a stunning
wall hanging to complement any
room or decor. Imagine
it in your colors.
Pink Ribbon—October
is Breast Cancer Awareness
Month and here is a cute wall hanging
that can be made from T-shirts
as a rememberance of walks or
events attended to support the cause.
What a nice way to
show your support. Create
your own text on Printed Treasures
fabric on your computer
printer and personalize the messages.
This is a technique
that could be used for many
different causes or events.
Welcome/Give Thanks—
Now here is a value.
Buy one panel and
make two wall hangings.
This would be a great opportunity
to make a gift for someone special
and keep one for you.
And to save you from trying to
find the fabrics, our catalog
department, Clotilde.com,
is offering the kits.
All the order information
is in the magazine.
This one was designed by me,
Carolyn Vagts, editor of Quilter's
World. And I love a value.
Bittersweet—
Now here is a quilt that
definitely says "autumn."
The woven effect is achieved
with the pieced blocks set on the
diagonal in the rich, warm hues
of falling leaves.
This beauty was designed by Sue
Harvey and Sandy Boobar.
Sticks & Stones—
Ruth Ann Sheffield
designed this scrappy sensation
from her stash.
Let her show you how to use up
all those little scrap treasures
you've been saving. You will be amazed
at just what you can create
with tiny little morsels
of fabric. Two
new and exciting features have been added
to our lineup, so watch
for them: the Inspiration Page
and the Scrap Page.
The Inspiration Page is totally
dedicated to an exceptional
quilt and its designer/maker.
A paragraph about the quilt,
the inspiration for its
creation and a short bio
about the maker are included.
Do you know of a special
quilt that should be placed here?
If you do, please contact us.
We'd love to display it.
The Scrap Page is a
one-page feature plus a photo.
It is dedicated to helping
our readers turn small
amounts of fabulous fabric
into wonderful, useful
items. It's worth checking
this one out. Every quilter
you know could use these.
You'll find 17
fun and fabulous projects
in the October issue of Quilter's
World, not to mention
an inspiration for many more.
I hope you enjoy it
as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
There's something for
everyone. Pick up an issue today
or sign up for a subscription,
either hard copy or digital.
Let the quilting begin!
