Quiltfolk Does it Again!

I subscribed to the new magazine Quiltfolk a while back. After reading the first issue, I was hooked. I love everything about it. The subject matter, the writing and even the quality of the paper (I’m very fussy about my paper). 

Issue 02 arrived at my door last week. I immediately sat down and read it cover to cover. The magazine focuses on a particular region each time. This issue covers Iowa and without giving too much away… I learned about the very interesting Amana colonies and the wool mills in Amana. There is a wonderful article on the marvelous Judy Martin and I learned lots of fascinating things about Maryanne Fons that I never knew. And... Well, just check out their website (here).
I highly recommend it!

    1. Oh yes Debra! I just realized I wrote Ohio instead of Iowa. I guess I am. Hopeless New Englander! I still want to visit Amanda - Iowa!!!

  6. Ohio. That is where I was born and lived until in my 20's. I do not subscribe to that magazine but maybe I need to think about it.

    1. Sorry Karen, I meant Iowa. It is tough to get old and think one thing and type another!

  7. This issue is wonderful and highlights quilting in IOWA. Hopefully OHIO will be the subject of the next, if not soon, issue. I read mine cover to cover on a cross-country flight. Next time I hope to drive through Iowa, not over !!!

  17. I saw this magazine for the first time last night at Barnes and Noble. It is beautiful and one of the first things I noticed, too, was the quality of the paper! Come to think of it, it didn't seem to have so many ads in it either. I think it does have at least one quilt pattern it in. It seems to be mainly about Quilt Folk.....people who are very involved in various aspects of the quilting world but the focus of the articles is not what you would expect. Very interesting!
