Christmas is coming and the AP&Q Christmas Special is sure to delight you! There are lots of gorgeous projects to make and a wonderful feature about the World Quilt Show 2007. Held in Manchester, it includes 16 Australian entrants, and we talk with 14 of them about their individual works selected for the exhibition. A subsequent tour started on August 16, and continues through to November 11, 2007, allowing these talented Australians to take their love of quilting across the United States as well. Sit back and be inspired by some very satisfied quilters and their stories.

With the festive season approaching fast, AP&Q Vol 16 No 3 is our glorious Showcase Special. Featuring quilts by some of Australia’s most talented quiltmakers, it’s an issue not to be missed! And if you’re afraid to approach the shops in the coming months to seek out gift ideas, why not get started on that beautiful quilt now to give a friend or relative on Christmas Day? Our November issue also features 20 brilliant quilts to inspire you for that special occasion, including expert tips and techniques.
