This year marks 10 years of BLOCK Magazine, and we’re thrilled to bring you Issue 3 with some dazzling new projects, tips, and techniques! In this latest idea book from Missouri Star, we will help you change a quilt to mark ANY special occasion. Using a regular quilt pattern and changing it up to fit your favorite holidays, you'll be ready to QUILTebrate! If you've ever been intimidated by sewing curvy quilt blocks, we want to help you conquer curves. With the right tools and a little bit of practice, you can piece curves with confidence! We share our favorite tricks of the trade and notions we love to help make it smooth sailing. Inside this issue, we chat with brilliant quilter and astronaut Dr. Karen Nyberg. This inspiring fabric and quilt pattern designer was the first person to quilt in outer space. She'll have you ready to reach for the stars! And if you're ready to add a touch of elegance to your quilts, might we suggest sparkling swirls? Learn how free-motion quilting with metallic threads can make your quilt stand out! In our community connection feature, we’re traveling to Jenny's favorite quilt festivals around the U.S. and across the pond. Discover tips and tricks to improve your sewing game, and fun new ways to bring your creations to life! And as always, no advertisements. What will you make with BLOCK Magazine this year? We can't wait to see what you'll create. Whether you're just starting out or you've been sewing for years, there's something for everyone in BLOCK.
