We are always looking for new techniques, innovative processes, and unique approaches to the art of quilting. See past issues of the magazine for examples. If you are teaching, blogging about, or exhibiting your art quilts, you probably have great ideas to share.

We’d love to hear from you!

What Are We Looking For?

✓

Inspiring articles about art quilting topics, venues, and groups.

✓

Unique techniques, new ways to use existing tools and supplies, and ideas we’ve never featured before.

✓

Artists with rich portfolios of work to be featured in our In The Spotlight, Artist Profile, and Q&A articles. Show us your work and tell us your story.

How to Submit

Write a brief description of your idea and email it to [email protected]. Your submission should give us an overview of what you propose to write with enough detail and supporting information for us to carefully consider your idea.

Attach 1–3 low-resolution photos (up to 2 MB per photo) of your art or process to the email—and don’t forget to include your full name, website/social media handle, and contact information.

Our editorial review process can take up to 12 weeks but, in many cases, we will respond to you much sooner.

✓

Most of our artist profiles, media and product reviews, and reader challenges are written by our staff.

We prefer to do much of our photography in-house. If accepted, your work must be available to be shipped to our offices.

We look forward to receiving your proposal!
