Quilt Trends, formerly Fabric Trends, was renamed to attract the attention of all quilters. Through social media, it became evident that some quilters didn't realize that Fabric Trends was a quilt magazine with a range of quilt patterns and projects! By changing the name, the magazine is more in sync with what is inside—current fabrics and how to use them. In upcoming issues, you will be seeing quilt projects in modern lifestyle settings, as well as more articles from designers who have decorating expertise with contemporary decor. In addition to quilts, we will be offering smaller projects that can be completed in a weekend, as well as articles of interest like the ones about Jean Ray Laury and Susan Schrott who "then and now" explain how quilting is an outlet for expression, in addition to relieving stress. Of course, the popular Fabric Gallery will still deliver a sampling of the latest collections, solely to tempt your creativity.
