With full illustrated instructions for projects from favourite Popular Patchwork designers, even a novice is sure to find something to get started on. The projects include a wide range of items, from bags and accessories to full sized bed quilts, and with some pages linked to supplier’s websites, readers can source the fabric used in the examples.
Katy Purvis, website editor says, “The forum and gallery pages allow customers to show off their talents by posting images of their work, sharing experiences, or asking other members for advice. We will develop future content based on true customer feedback, and will also be able to generate feedback for our advertisers by encouraging readers to share their favourite fabric designers, shops, sewing machines and more.”
“There will also be a regular newsletter for site members and special content for magazine subscribers,”
The site includes the following areas, but will be evolving throughout the year:
• Full instructions for a wide range of projects – for beginners through to experienced quilters.
• Features on popular quilters and textile artists and their work.
• Articles for beginners outlining basic techniques and skills.
• Textile design and advanced techniques in a regional and international context, for example, Tivaevae work from the Cook Islands.
• Reviews of quilts shows, exhibitions and books.
• Block history and design.
• Diary of patchwork and quilting events across the United Kingdom.
• An extensive community forum allowing sharing of information between quilters.
