what I've been reading

My friend Isolde, from my quilting group, asked me if I would like to take home these "Quiltfolk" magazines and look through them.

Well Yes!

It's a new magazine concept for quilters.  Instead of the usual patterns and pages of advertising, this magazine is completely photos and articles.

Each issue focuses on one state...these were Iowa, Oregon, Massachutes, Tennessee, and Hawaii.

The articles are about folks who are involved in the quilting industry in some way.

There are fabric shop owners, pattern designers, antique quilt collecters, fabric mill workers, quilt museums, charity quilting volunteers and more.

Then there are the stories about quilters, From senior ladies who have been quilting a lifetime, to art quilters, all men quilt guilds, modern quilters, crazy quilt makers and more.

The photos are wonderful. No advertising at all. They did include patterns in a couple of the issues.

So relaxing to browse through these...but inspiring too.

Thank you Isolde!
