Magazine Review: Love Patchwork & Quilting Issue 22

I love overseas quilting magazine. But what do I love even more? Overseas quilting magazines with free stuff attached to them. Woot, woot! The UK magazine, Love Patchwork & Quilting is one of the first magazines I started buying when I got back into quilting. I adore the magazines fresh colors and fun layout.



I don't normally stop and read the editor's column in magazines, but I do when its Jenny Fox-Proverbs. Maybe its because I have a thing for red heads. I don't know. But what I do know is that  like her little notes and suggestions.



You had me at epp. I will not deny this was the main reason I purchased this magazine. A kit to make an epp bookmark included. Hello! Who wouldn't want to make one.



Sweet Pastels quilt, made by Angie Wilson, was inspired by those colorful liquorice candies that your grandma use to have sitting in a glass bowl somewhere in her house. Just as sweet, but without the calories.



Oh how I wish I could subscribe to their magazine and get that bundle of exclusive Dashwood Studio fat quarter fabrics they are offering. Anyone want to gift me a bundle?



I always look forward to reading Jeni Baker's Stitching Notes article. I also follow her blog, In Color Order. (Full disclosure: I follow the blog only because I'm a huge fan of George, her bunny.)



Can someone please tell me anything about the fabric with the dog picture on it that Susan Standen used in her giant pincushion? I love the face on that dog!



And FYI- Jo Avery's knitting bag is totally epp-worthy. I'm adding this one to my "must make" list.



Julie Rutter also shows us some easy applique flower power. I love the vintage look. These flowers are super simple to make.



So, there you have it. A small sampling of what you will find in issue #22 of Love Patchwork & Quilting. If you have a copy of the magazine, let me know what you think of it and any projects that you plan to make.
