Inside This Issue — Summer 2008

Summer Romance
Five years ago, Fabric Trends was launched to showcase some of the latest fabrics in the marketplace, as well as to provide quilters with traditional and contemporary designs that work well with them. Over the years, we've also profiled many well-known fabric designers, who have shared their ideas and inspiration, and have taken a look at how their visions fit in with home decorating ideas and trends.
For this fifth anniversary issue, we asked the professional design staff at Rosen's in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania to help us style our summer quilts. They generously allowed us to use their beautiful room sets, provided us with props, and gave us a wealth of information about home décor. We can't thank them enough!
Knowing that summer would be in full swing once this issue came out on the newsstands, we also asked our favorite manufacturers and designers to send us projects on the light side—light fabrics, fresh florals, and pretty prints. They more than rose to the challenge! From bed quilts to baby quilts, and everything in between, we acquired a wide range of decorative accessories for your enjoyment.
If your vacation travels take you to faraway places that are a little off the beaten path this year and you happen to have your quilting (or a copy of Fabric Trends) with you, send us a photo. Extreme quilting? Why not? Stranger things have happened. We'd love to hear from you!
