This special issue from Quilting Arts Magazine and Quilts, Inc. captures the energy, beauty, and community of today's quilt scene. Packed with feature articles, projects, and beautiful photography, this 148-page special issue debuted at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this fall.
To share a personal note: My design for a fabulous market tote is included in this issue. It's featured on the cover in the small box located on the upper, left-hand side! xo Kathy
** A note on shipping cost: the magazine is bigger than normal and weighs in at 14 ounces, over the limit for First Class US & International Shipping (which is how we normally ship magazines). If you order just the magazine it will cost $4.95 for shipping in the US via a Flat Rate Envelope, $5.50 to Canada, and $12.95 for an International Flat Rate Envelope. **
