Quilting Arts Magazine – Summer Issue 2022

Linda’s written an article for the Summer 2022 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine. It’s called The Artful Touch and is on the topic of combining digital stitch with fabric painting.

This is a fascinating subject and one that we hope to be able to expand more up with some workshops here on the website.

Quilting Arts Magazine is available in print and digital format. Hopefully you’ll find print issues in your local quilt shop, if not it’s available online.
