Editor's letter<br />
My sewing machine is my best friend.<br />
Together, we spend countless hours creating,<br />
and making all my sewing dreams come true.<br />
I know its quirks and hum and I'm quick to<br />
forgive when it acts up. When I don't get a<br />
chance to sew, well, I miss it like I miss the sun<br />
on a cloudy day.<br />
For me, buying a sewing machine is like<br />
buying a car. It's an important investment<br />
since we're going to be best friends. When<br />
shopping for my new sewing machine I read<br />
about as many sewing machines as I was able<br />
to stand; doing this a little at a time helped,<br />
as there's a lot of information at our fingertips<br />
today. I read up on all the models and their<br />
features to narrow down the selection to<br />
the features I was most interested in. Then,<br />
it was even more important to test drive the<br />
selected ones for a good comparison.<br />
A sewing machine needs to feel right, like a<br />
favourite coat, so I can let the 'sewing fun' be<br />
the highlight of our time together. For this to<br />
happen, there's a familiarity that will come as I<br />
get to know it… And then there's the manual. I<br />
know, not my favourite part, right? I mean who<br />
wants to read?! "I want to sew!" Yet, it's a very<br />
important tool - know the manual, know the<br />
sewing machine, without tears.<br />
Today's sewing machines are so very 'ultra', they<br />
have the capabilities to do so many things that<br />
10, 20 years ago we never would have imagined<br />
was possible. By the same token, perhaps all<br />
you wish is a simpler sewing machine to finish<br />
off your embroidery project, hem the odd<br />
pair of pants, dabble in making Halloween<br />
costumes once a year. Whatever your need,<br />
sewing machines are an important investment,<br />
in terms of budget and more importantly for<br />
what you're going to use it.<br />
Your sewing machine dealer is a vital part of<br />
you owning a sewing machine. They'll be the<br />
ones at your rescue when your sewing machine<br />
needs a tune up or repair after all that sewing<br />
you've been doing…choose wisely.<br />
Here's the winter, already at my door, a chance<br />
to hybernate so to speak and sew as much as I<br />
can, to which I say, "Let it snow!"<br />
Cheerfully,<br />
Life goes better with needlework!<br />

By the Bundle<br />
Emma Jean Jansen<br />
Quilters love collecting these precut bundles, but<br />
often don't know what to do with them. Because<br />
they are a specific cut of fabric (18” x 22" instead of<br />
a ¼ yd cut from fabric that measures 9” x 44" and is<br />
much less usable) the instructions for a project need<br />
to be specifically written to accommodate these fat<br />
quarter cuts. All of Emma's patterns are written with<br />
this in mind in addition to providing irresistible new<br />
quilt designs to finally put these collections to use in<br />
her widely appealing designs. Emma's patterns cross<br />
over beautifully between the modern and the new<br />
traditional quilt maker alike.<br />

Making a Quillow<br />
A quillow is a small quilt<br />
that folds up and tucks into<br />
a pocket to create a pillow.<br />
These versatile quilt/pillows<br />
are favourites with children<br />
and come in handy for picnics<br />
or as an emergency blanket<br />
for a car. If your feet are cold,<br />
you can tuck them in the<br />
pocket while you read your<br />
latest issue of ANPT.<br />
The most difficult part of<br />
making a quillow is attaching<br />
the pillow top to the quilt.<br />
Any small quilt top that’s<br />
less than 40" wide and<br />
approximately 50" long can<br />
be turned into a quillow.<br />
All that’s needed is a 12"<br />
matching quilt block for the<br />
pillow front with roughly<br />
4" borders. With these and<br />
some sewing magic, you can<br />
make a quillow!<br />
For this project, we’ll make<br />
a simple 9-patch block and<br />
alternate it with solid blocks<br />
for the quilt top and use<br />
a combination of smaller<br />
4-patches for the pillow top.<br />

Snowflakes<br />
& evergreens<br />
cardigan<br />
The Snowflakes and<br />
Evergreens Cardigan is a Fair<br />
Isle cardigan with winter<br />
elements which will quickly<br />
become a favourite during<br />
the cold winter months.<br />
The large shawl collar can be<br />
turned up against a windy<br />
day and the sleeves are<br />
generously sized to allow<br />
for layering.<br />
This design is knitted<br />
circularly whenever<br />
possible, using steeks<br />
(bridge stitches) to form a<br />
cylinder that is cut open for<br />
the cardigan front opening.<br />
Steeks are also used for the<br />
sleeve openings and even<br />
the neckline, all to keep you<br />
knitting with the right side<br />
facing you. The only purl<br />
stitches are in the ribbing,<br />
top section of the sleeves,<br />
bands, and collar.<br />

COBBLESTONE<br />
WAY<br />
Cushion Cover<br />
<strong>Winter</strong> is my favourite<br />
season, mostly because<br />
I like to play in the<br />
snow. More so when<br />
I was younger, but I<br />
still love to bundle up<br />
and head out for a nice<br />
winter walk. Usually the<br />
sidewalks are uneven<br />
and hard to walk on.<br />
They always remind me<br />
of the old cobblestone<br />
roads in Europe. They<br />
were hard to walk on any<br />
time of year, more so in<br />
heals. So in the winter<br />
when the sidewalks<br />
are all uneven and<br />
icy, it brings me back<br />
to Europe and the old<br />
sections of town with<br />
their cobblestone roads.<br />

Cookies and Cocoa<br />
Cushion Cover<br />
After a busy day of winter activities, what<br />
is more inviting than a warm cup of hot<br />
chocolate and some homemade chocolate<br />
chip cookies?? Get that ‘inviting feeling’<br />
all season long with this cute cushion<br />
featuring felted wool, buttons and<br />
punchneedle embroidery.<br />

Beaded Snowflake Brooches<br />
When you fan crystal-tipped bugle<br />
points around a filigree dome, you<br />
get a dramatic snowflake. This is an<br />
adaptation of my famous Fanwheel<br />
Snowflakes which start off with a circle<br />
of beads. Here, we explore overlapping<br />
points around a metal dome-shaped<br />
filigree cap.<br />
For fun and instant gratification, you<br />
can add bugle points around any gear<br />
to make really trendy snowflakes as<br />
ornaments or brooches. I will show<br />
you the basic technique for attaching<br />
your bugle points around any gear<br />
shape. Feel free to let your creativity<br />
go wild as you embellish the gear<br />
center. See photos for ideas.<br />
