Popular Patchwork Magazine August 2010 Our cover project this month is a beautiful contemporary seasonal leaf design from Sheena Norquay. Both this & our more traditional Four Seaons project by Chris Hammacott can be adapted to suit your home & colours schemes & the Seasonal Leaves wall hanging/placemats would make great gifts. Our Square Dance is all about photo manipulation this month, & there is a gorgeous Landscape wall hanging from Nikki Tinkler. Wendy Sheppard’s Cosy Patch adds a little more to the mix, combining machined & cross-cut strips & half square triangles to create this very cuddly, floral quilt. Lynne Edwards has just published a new edition of her brilliant Sampler Quilt book, & we are lucky enough to include an extract from the book in our August project pages. Catch up with the wonderful Jenny Bowker & her marvellous applique quilts in this issue. If you are heading to the Festival of Quilts this year on the hunt for a new sewing machine then the Don’t Panic Guide to Today’s Sewing Machine Shop will give you some useful tips. There are £350 worth of prizes & giveaways in this issue, & three fantastic reader offers on new quilting books. Check the bits & pieces section for all our prize draws. ...
