The September 2025 issue of We Like Quilting Magazine has just arrived, brimming with fresh projects and seasonal inspiration. You can explore it here: https://welikequilting.com/toc/magazine-september-2025/
What a joy it is to see the warm glow of early fall captured in this issue. As the humid days mellow into crisp evenings, the magazine invites readers into a creative cocoon—brimming with patterns that are both practical and beautifully seasonal.
Here are a couple of my favorite highlights:
- Adorable Apple Placemat Pattern
Debbie von Grabler‑Crozier’s Apple of My Eye Placemat Set is as cute as it sounds—an orchard-inspired design that’s perfect for fall and fun for beginners! I’ll actually be making a set of these myself very soon, and I can’t wait to share my finished version on Instagram, so stay tuned! - Elegant Irish Chain Quilt in Blue
The Stella Irish Chain Quilt Pattern is a stunning twist on a timeless favorite. Made in soothing blue tones, this quilt feels like a breath of calm—perfect for transitioning your home into the cooler seasons with style and comfort.
But that’s not all! This issue also features clever upcycling in the Olivia Log Cabin Jean Pockets Pattern, a starry quilt design by Preeti Harris, and even a thoughtful editorial on quilting during the Great Depression. It’s a beautiful blend of creativity, storytelling, and tradition.
The best part? You can read two preview articles for free, and then subscribe digitally to unlock all the patterns, tutorials, and past issues.
Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just picking up a needle for the first time, this issue offers plenty of inspiration to kick off your fall projects. Grab your favorite fabrics, start stitching, and let the season unfold—one pattern at a time.
Happy quilting, and keep an eye out for those apple placemats on my IG soon! Janice
