From the Editors

We live in an age when everyone is too busy. Slow down a little and take time out of your crazy life to enjoy yourself. Take time to quilt. You can relax and be productive at the same time! Not only will your loved ones enjoy the fruits of your labor, they will notice how refreshed you are after making time to do something you enjoy.

Learning new skills can be a lot of fun. If you are just starting to quilt, you are in for so much fun! Don't worry about everything being just right. Enjoy what you are doing and your skills will develop rapidly. If you are an experienced quilter, learn a new quilting technique; relax and enjoy yourself as you increase your knowledge of quilting. With every project, you have the opportunity to buy more fabric or a new tool to try. Whatever project you select to make, we give you drawings or photos to explain each step of the way. The wonderful thing about quilting is that your work doesn't need to be perfect. It if looks good to you, it is good.

If you want to enjoy your quilting even more, find a friend who needs a relaxing hobby. Together you will stitch and stitch, relaxing with each loving stitch that you make. Quilting is a time of fun and adventure. All you need to do is select a pattern, and you're on your way.
