Big news today at Quiltmaker! The eighth volume of Quilting Motifs has arrived and it’s beautiful.
You may know that from its beginnings in 1982, Quiltmaker has always told readers how to quilt each and every project. We pride ourselves on the fact that we have never printed the words “Quilt as desired.” We have designed thousands of original quilting designs over the years for the quilts on our pages.
Several years ago we took the quilting motifs from our magazine pages and created books from them. Quiltmaker’s Quilting Motifs are now available in eight different volumes, which can be purchased one-by-one or in combination packs. The combo packs are a good deal!
The motifs are also available on CDs produced by The Electric Quilt Company called Quilting Designs. Each CD number corresponds to the paper volume with the same number.
The CDs are wonderful resources because the quilting designs can be printed at any size you choose. By following this link, choosing any one of the volumes and then clicking on “watch a demo video” you can see exactly how the CDs work. Volumes 1 through 7 are available on CD and Volume 8 is coming.
If you have trouble deciding what to do about the quilting or if you have tops tucked in drawers waiting for some quilting drama to bring them to life, Quiltmaker’s Quilting Motifs in book or CD form will give you the push you need to finish. I hope you’ll check them out!

Darn, I missed the arrival by one day!
I will have to check out the new volume. I have a few of the CDs and I just won a copy of the 501 Quilting Motifs from Martingale & Company. Thank you for providing ideas for quilting in your magazine. It is really helpful for those of us who don’t yet have a handle on how to “quilt the quilt”. Many thanks!
Never too many sources of inspiration. Thanks

I just love that an entire book is full of motifs like this. I’m not ready for those yet but it’s certainly something to remember.
