Quilting Arts Magazine

Since its premier in 2001, Quilting Arts Magazine has been dedicated to promoting creative quilting by highlighting the amazing artistry achievable only with fabric and thread. The influence of Quilting Arts is enormous: novice art quilters to professionals will learn new techniques, explore trends, and take a deep dive into the fascinating stories behind the quilts.

editor’s note • THE CAR IS PACKED, THE MAIL HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD, THE WEEK AT THE BEACH IS BOOKED, AND THE COOLER IS OVERFLOWING WITH SOFT DRINKS AND SANDWICHES. BUT THE BIG QUESTION STILL REMAINS: WHAT WILL YOU PACK IN YOUR PROJECT BAG?
