For a few years in a row I bought quilting calendars that included the full patterns, but I gave up on the idea. I never did make the patterns, as pretty as the quilts were, of course. However, the instructions were hard to store for the "just in case I ever do..." wishful thinking. In fact I have one of them sitting right here in my office, in the "Where the heck do I put this?" pile.On the other hand, this collection brings me no guilt whatsoever. The quilts are all award-winners as much for the (truly) awe-inspiring quilting as for their piecework. I don't have to pretend that I'm going to make a single one of these quilts, but their beauty certainly will inspire me to spend more time at my sewing machine, improving my craftsmanship.Each quilt gets a full-page photo (obviously) and has an essay about it and its creator at the front of the calendar. The designs are mostly traditional (the photo preview here on does a good job of showing you what they look like), and the photo quality is excellent: You really do see how each was quilted, which is something most of us complain about in quilting books.As a calendar (oh yeah, it's that too) the page is easy to read, with your basic American holidays. Most of the non-obvious date inclusions are sewing related, such as "World Quilting Day" in mid-March.It's lovely, and sure to brighten 2014 for me.
I realize it is odd to purchase a calendar for the previous year and then review it but what I wanted was the photographs. The "award-winning" quilt on the front of the calendar, made by Ted Storm of the Netherlands, was the top prize winner at the biggest quilt show in the US. That cover photo, that only shows a small portion of this quilt, is the only photo other than a thumbnail size (literally) photo accompanying the quilter biography. There is no month assigned to the ElaTed quilt, no complete photo of the quilt, nothing. Since that was the only reason I purchased the calendar, even at $2.00 it was money wasted.
Award Winning Quilts 2014 Calendar: Featuring Quilts from the InternationalQuilt Association:Looking forward to turn the page of the calendar each month to see the beautiful IQA 2012 winnersGreat photography.The daily boxes are large enough to write notes on.
This calendar is absolutely gorgeous! I usually get the calendar with the instructions, but the quilts featured in this one were SO much prettier. Usually a quilt calendar is beautiful except for one month that you just have to suffer through. Not so with this one! Now I'm looking forward to what quilts they'll feature for 2015!
I love my new calendar, it has beautiful pictures of quilts. I always have a calendar quilt calendar for my home, I do like the ones that have the instructions to make the quilts, but I did not find one for this year that I liked. The quilts in this calendar caught my eye.
I am already looking forward to next year and being inspired by the beautiful and amazing quilts in this calendar.
