100 Issues - Congratulations, McCall’s Quilting!
Published November 24th, 2009 in Marcus News. 1 Comment
We just got our office copy of McCall’s Quilting for Jan/Feb 2010, the magazine’s 100th 
issue — Congratulations to Beth Hayes and her staff on this wonderful achievement!
Or course, we’re especially proud to have our fabrics featured prominently in this issue, starting with Vicki Bellino’s quilt using the American Patriot Collection by Faye Burgos. If you’ve never thought of using our Strip It designs for hexagon quilts, be sure to see this project!
In the printed magazine, you’ll also find Homestead Hearth’s patriotic offering, utilizing our American Pastimes & Gallery in Red together. We love their use of the Gallery in Red Strip-It pattern. Two great reasons to quilt your way into the new year with patriotic flair!

You’ve seen the ads in your favorite quilting magazines this season…now the fabrics will soon begin to appear in your favorite quilt shops, too! The retailer response to our Civil War Tribute BOM has been outstanding, so we’re sure you’ll have no problem locating these Judie Rothermel fabrics to create your own Block-of-the-Month quilt.
The Marcus Fabrics Civil War Tribute quilt was designed by Homestead Hearth. It highlights a variety of sawtooth and star blocks, the perfect showcase for 48 of the collection’s 50 prints. Each of the quilt blocks represents a major battle fought during the war. Read more…
As an added touch of authenticity, you’ll also want to sew up a few of our Civil War-inspired Buckshot Pincushions, designed by Ellen Highsmith Silver.
