Innholdsfortegnelse for 67 i Love Patchwork & Quilting

Frosty mornings, crackling fires, festive foliage... it's easy to feel inspired by winter's dramatic colours and textures and be drawn to the amazing quilt designs that pay homage to them. And it looks like all our designers have fallen under the spell of winter this month too, offering up a cool and crisp array of projects that not only celebrate the indulgences of the season through fabric and stitch, but encourage us to slow down and take the time to enjoy all the little things that we love about quilting – hooray! From a soothing snowdrift blanket to a present-packed throw, meditative curves to a smattering of EPP stars, you'll find something seasonal (and calming) to make on every page.

Tell us about how you first started Karen Lewis Textiles. I was previously running an online business called Blueberry Park, where I was curating items for sale from artists all over the UK. During this time, I was doing more and more of my own work and it came to a point where I decided to stop representing other artists. It was a scary decision but one I haven’t regretted. When I went solo I changed the name to be more recognisable as myself. What inspired the name of your business and Robert Kaufman fabric ranges, Blueberry Park? It came from my obsession and love for blueberries and living opposite a park… nothing complicated! Where does your love for printing and textiles come from? I am always doodling and inspired…

But what if you wanted a bundle based simply on colour? Or a single favourite print? Well, let me tell you, today’s your lucky day! As soon as I saw Alison Glass’ new line, Road Trip, my heart grew three sizes. I was seriously crushing on one print specifically, Flip in Quarter. Only problem? The line wasn’t yet available. At the time of writing this article, the release of Road Trip was still months away. So what’s a girl to do? I reached out to my friend, Giuseppe Ribaudo at Andover…
