Today we are talking about quilts for gift giving occasions This issue is packed full of beautiful quilts to make and give If you love appliqué, don’t miss Garden Wedding by Barb Eikmeier It is a classic that is destined to become an heirloom Speaking of heirlooms, we have three quilts that are remakes of family quilts by Abigail Dolinger, Bev Getschel, and Connie Kaufman Don’t misss the photos of the original antiques and their miniature versions If you want an interesting twist on a memory quilt, take a look at Terri Vanden Bosch’s Mountain Memories She makes a base quilt that is taken on vacation and used as a journal, writing special thoughts each night Finally, she prints photos taken during the trip onto fabric and adds them to the quilt, creating a lovely keepsake How cool is that? We have several quilts that are perfect for the men in your life (it’s all in the fabric choices, right?) such as Stars of Time by Scott Flanagan and Emerald City by Lori Baker Lori actually made this quilt as a gift for her husband These would be perfect for a graduation or even a wedding gift For the women in your life, Tulip Twinklers by Geraldine Wilkins and the lovely tote bag, Natalie’s Choice are perfect to make for Mother’s Day or a birthday I hope you love these quilts as much as we loved putting this issue together for you Advertising Director Cristy Adamski cristy.adamski@fwmedia.com BUSINESS Director of Content, Craft Tiffany Warble Group Art Director, Craft Emily Simpson Director of Media Sales Julie McDonald Chief Executive Officer SVP, General Manager F+W Crafts Group Managing DirectorF+W International VP, Consumer Marketing VP, Digital VP, Product Management Newsstand Sales Gregory J Osberg David Pyle James Woollam John Phelan Jason Revzon Pat Fitzgerald Scott T Hill scott.hill@procirc.com OPERATIONS Retail Sales Wholesale Meghan Sommer sales@fwmedia.com Editorial Offices McCall’s Quilting 741 Corporate Circle, Suite A, Golden, CO 80401 (303) 215-5600 | email: McCallsQuilting@fwmedia.com Back issues Available at www.QuiltingCompany.com Dealer inquiries welcome If you are interested in carrying this magazine in your store, email sales@fwmedia.com For questions about purchases made on the website, please check out our live chat feature or click the Contact Us link located on the website Subscription Offices/Change Of Address Notification McCall’s Quilting, P.O Box 420235, Palm Coast, FL 32142-0235 866-729-9601 (within the U.S.); International 1-970-658-2929 mccallsquilting@emailcustomerservice.com Happy Quilting!
