This is a very special issue of Sew Inspired as we launch our new Quilt-along project! We’re thrilled that this is the third year of our community-inspired project, and you can join along to make your very own quilt-as-you go sampler quilt. The first instalment will talk you through making the medallion centre using Sara’s Sew Retro fabric collection! And if that wasn’t enough, you can also enter our brand- new Build-A-Block quilt competition – to be in with a chance of winning a voucher and being featured in the magazine.

Our wonderful Design Team have been hard at work as always to bring you another issue full of exciting projects, including beautiful bag designs, stylish accessories and easy gift ideas. We have plenty of makes to inspire you that cater for all skill levels. If you’re a beginner, then our table runner project is the perfect starting point. For those wanting to tackle an advanced project then Allison’s Sewing Machine Combo is guaranteed to add a burst of colour to your craft space. Try your hand at free- motion embroidery with our mixed-media floral cushion, and jump to our beginner’s guide to learn all about wadding and interfacing.

Happy sewing!
