McCall's Quilting - 100th Issue!

The newest issue of McCall's Quilting is the 100th issue and I have a new Give & Take Applique design in the magazine. Rise & Shine features fast fused squares set as sashed blocks to create graphic sun motifs in this appealing wall-hanging or table topper.

I'm thrilled to be in this issue particularly since I remember the OLD McCall's Needlework & Crafts magazines that my mother collected in the 1960's. She made many projects from the magazines including some wonderful knitted items for my Barbie dolls.


A kit of fabrics for the Rise & Shine quilt top and binding is available while supplies last for $50.60 ppd. (NJ residents, $53.42 ppd.) from Pickle Road Studios, LLC, 13 Pickle Road, Califon, NJ 07830; 908-876-1208; MarkLipinski.com.

Just like Christmas

Couldn't wait to get the post office today to pick up a box.......FULL of great new fabrics from Northcott. First is Mark Lipinski's new line 'Oakdale'. I have an exciting design for a Give & Take Applique project for McCall's Quilting magazine planned for this. There's a lovely wavy stripe that's going to be fun to use!

The other set of fabrics is 'Flight of the Dancing Cranes'. These luscious fabrics will become a full size quilt with decorator accents for McCall's Quick Quilts magazine. Then it will find a home on my bed I'm sure.

Stay tuned to see the final quilts later in the summer.
