We’re halfway through 2024, and quilters and crafters know that means the Christmas season is just around the corner! Volume 11, Issue 3 of BLOCK Magazine is here to help you prepare for the holidays while also enjoying the often fleeting days of summer! Our helpful advice includes everything from making a list and checking it twice to ensuring your machines are ready to sew-sew-sew!
The approaching cooler weather also means it’s time to think about making things extra-warm and snuggly. When it comes to that, nothing beats plush Cuddle® fabric. We have tips for working with this amazingly soft and cuddly fabric, so you can whip up stuffed toys, back your quilts, sew quick and easy scarves, and so much more!
We’ll also introduce you to Jackie MacDonald of Sweetfire Road, a designer for Moda. Jackie’s latest fabric collection, Once Upon a Christmas, is sure to put you in the holiday spirit. If you’d rather not think ahead to Christmas, we have helpful articles for sewing all year long! Do you struggle with threading needles? We have tips for that! Would you like to know which hoops are best for embroidery? We’ll give you all the info!
