This book is from the editors of Stitch magazine from Interweave Press, taking some of their best bags projects featured in the magazine and reprinting them, on release 31st May 2013 (yes I have an early copy!).

I don’t think I’ve said this before, but I love everything that Pam and Nicky Lintott of The Quilt Room do. They are the precut queens and I bow down to them for that as I’m always a bit flummoxed by them without their books to guide me. Quilts I have made from their books [...]

Modern Quilting magazine comes out tomorrow! It’s a bimonthly magazine but I am fortunate enough to have found out about it early so I have subscribed and got my copy on Saturday morning- hurrah!
