It's time to start planting your garden! Well, your quilt garden that is.
Winter is the perfect time to get out those wonderful floral fabrics you've been collecting and use those long, cold days to "Think Spring!" I have some absolutely gorgeous garden and floral quilts for you to try (see my quilting section, pgs. 72–84). And best yet, most are quick and easy so you can make up several in time for the spring thaw!
Winter is also a great time to get started on your spring and summer wardrobes. To give you an early start on your warm-weather projects, I have included a batch of new patterns for jackets (pgs. 10-11 & 17-19), sweatshirts (pg. 10), skirts (pg. 14), blouses (pg. 15) and pants (pg. 16).
And please don't forget the accessories. I have found some of the loveliest bags, totes and carry-all patterns I've ever seen. Check out pgs. 20-23 to see what I mean.
Please keep sending me your e-mails and letters. I love hearing from you. Send in your comments and let me know what you think.
As always,
Happy Sewing,
(Rhymes with Matilda)
