Meet Chelsea Swindle, the inspiration behind She Sews Seams. In 2022, Chelsea sought to create a place where people could learn all there is to know about sewing and quilting, surrounded by a fun, kind, and inspiring community. We'll also share Chelsea's pattern for her Sadie Skirt!
As we continue to mark America's 250th birthday, this issue introduces you to more quilters in the Quilting in the USA series, this time highlighting quilters in the Northwest region of the country. We also tell you about Marie Webster, who wrote the first book about quilting history to be published in America.
Other articles in this issue include a look at the benefits of quilting retreats, ways quilters give back to their communities, tips for using stencils, and a helpful rundown on small tools that can make a big difference in your quilting.
From cover to cover, BLOCK Magazine is filled with free patterns, helpful tips, and news to provide you with quilting inspiration this fall and all year long!
