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. All for £15.00 British pounds for a year's subscription (click Subscribe for dollar equivalents).

Undecided? We have provided a Taster issue of Quiltwow which is entirely free and unrestricted. Future issues can be accessed by subscribers through a password. We promise that each issue will have at least six workshop features, an interview with a well-known quilter plus other articles of general interest. Also, products - not just what's new but how to use them, book reviews and a contact board. Add all this together and it's far more than a magazine - more like getting a new book every quarter.

Advertisers can be accessed without restriction (no password) in the Trading Post and the Courses page. And unrestricted Exhibitions and Competitions sections keep you informed about what is going on in these fields.
