The theme for this issue is a double entendre—Love Your Mother. In this case, it is referring to both Mother’s Day and Mother Earth/Earth Day. Mother’s Day was an obvious choice, as we all have mothers and/or mother figures in our life. But I was curious what designers would do for Earth Day—would I get quilts made from recycled materials? Would the quilts be political in nature? We sent out the submission request, and I awaited responses. I was blown away by the designs we received! In all honesty, there were several designs that we could not accept because of the size and complexity; however, we chose six designs in all that fit theme. They vary in difficulty from easy to challenging, and style from traditional to modern, but we…

Allie Aller of Portland, Oregon is an author, speaker, teacher, and award-winning quilter. The pandemic has brought her home to her studio where, even after 50 years of quilting, she approaches each new quilt with fresh joy. Debby: How did your education prepare you for quilt making? Allie: I have a degree in Environmental Analysis from Cornell University, but while I was there, I took a couple of years of very hard-core six-credit design courses. They also had a textile department and I took a weaving course in a gorgeous weaving studio. It was a magical place to go to school. I had a basic design education and took a whole course in color theory, which I’ve used every day since! D: Your quilt-making has evolved over the years. Tell…

Getting Started About our Patterns We recommend that you read all of the instructions before starting a project and that you cut and sew one block before cutting all of your fabric. Using a rotary cutter, mat and an acrylic ruler, cut the shape to the size indicated in the cutting list. Pressing tabs indicate the direction to press the seam allowances. Our patterns list finished block sizes, which are typically ½" smaller than unfinished block sizes because they do not include seam allowances. Basic Quilting Supplies • Rotary cutter and mat • Acrylic ruler: Many shapes and sizes are available; a good one to start with is 6"x 24" with ¼" and 1/8" markings • Scissors: A separate pair for paper and fabric • Sewing machine • ¼" foot…
