FROM

Marianne Fons Liz Porter

Even though, like many of you, we've been quilting for a long time, we're

not always working on challenging quilts. We balance our sewing

by alternating easy and more difficult projects. You feel great

when you finish a quilt that has built your skills, but then it's a good time to

take on an easy project—we all like

instant gratification.

If you want to increase

your skill level, consider an

appliqué project. Kim Diehl,

our Quilt with the Stars celebrity,

has designed a beautiful quilt that

combines easy traditional patchwork

with a folk art appliqué border

(Sprigs & Twigs, page 38). Or, perhaps

you'll fall in love with Apple Blossoms

(page 50) with its unique inner

border treatment.

On the other hand, if you

want to make a fun, easy-to-sew quilt, try America the

Beautiful (page 46). It's an appropriate size for a Quilt of

Valor, so If you haven't done so already, consider making a quilt to present

to a wounded combat veteran.

Think about stepping outside your sewing room into

the larger quilting world. If you don't belong to a local quilt guild,

make this your year to join one. Or, if you already belong to a group, think

about joining another one or a small group within your guild. If these groups

don't exist, get together with some friends and start one! Whatever you choose

to pursue, make this the year you stretch your quilting skills.
