For the Summer double issue of McCall’s Quilting, we’re celebrating Nature’s Bounty in all its seasonal glory as our main theme. We’ll share quilts inspired by flower gardens, wildflowers, cacti, bees, sunshine, and summer’s simple pleasures. In honor of the colorful abundance of summer, we can sew up some gorgeous home decor items and quilts that bring that loveliness into our homes. To support our main theme of Nature’s Bounty, our secondary theme is Way to Grow! This means taking projects a step further by introducing new or unusual techniques, interesting embellishments, and delightful special details. Not all growth happens in the biological sense, so let’s dig into ways that we ourselves and the quilts we make can grow and enhance our lives and spaces and allow our creativity to bloom. We will showcase a range of projects, from small, useful, or decorative pieces for the home to big, beautiful bed quilts! McCall’s Quilting is all about customizing your quilts to your lifestyle, and then actually using them. With timely seasonal inspiration and alternate pattern layouts, McCall’s makes it easy for quilters to enhance their lives with quilts.
