(Next issue available September 8)

Welcome to Quiltwow, a quarterly publication exclusively on the internet, featuring the very best British and International tutors, giving step by step details of varying textile techniques, ideas and their use in our quilt world. Be creative with machine and hand quilting. Learn new methods and ideas for machine and hand embellishment. Dabble in mixed media. And we won't forget those of you who enjoy piecing and appliqué. Keep in tune with the latest developments in products and technology. You will find all this here. We review books and products and keep you in touch with all that's new.

Exciting News

The cross-over between quilting and embroidery has become much less marked. This being so, we have decided to merge Quiltwow into Workshop on the Web. As a result, you'll get much more for your money and we'll make sure that each issue, in addition to the innovative techniques you have come to expect from Workshop on the Web, will have plenty of articles for quilters. So, it will be a really big resource and even more fantastic value for money. The price is staying at the Workshop on the Web level of £15.50 - a bargain when you'll be getting so much more.

The September issues of Workshop on the Web and Quiltwow will be published separately as usual but Quiltwow subscribers will be invited to renew through Workshop on the Web. December will see the launch of the new bumper magazine, just in time for the Christmas holidays. If you'd like to subscribe now, click here and you will be directed to the Workshop on the Web subscription page.

We'll be giving a lot so we'd like to ask you to tell everyone you know what an amazing deal the new Workshop on the Web (incorporating Quiltwow) magazine has become.

We know that we are blessed with an amazing family of subscribers so we do hope that you'll continue to support us as we have some fantastic workshops lined up for all lovers of textile techniques.
