Magpie Times: Barn Quilts is released!

September 23, 2025

The dust hasn't even settled on the release of Magpie Times Barn Quilts yet, but the deadline for our December issue is coming up fast! October 15 is the deadline to receive articles, gallery projects, and recipes. Our December theme is Sugar and Spice. We pushed up the deadline for December so we will be able to release it on December 1 (rather than December 17), giving folks enough time to make some of the projects for decoration or for gifts.

We ask that you send in your articles as text documents and photos as separate files. It's perfectly fine if you would like to include a PDF for suggested layout, but not as a substitute for text docs and pictures separately. When you send pictures, be sure to include the title of the project, who designed it, who made it, and who took the picture (if it wasn't you). Remember to try to center your project so it shows off all its glory!

We've already received one article, we want yours, too!

All questions and submissions go to magpietimesmagazine@gmail.com. That's our dedicated email for everything. Don't send anything to ribboncandyhooking@gmail.com. That's Deana's business email and we don't want any contribution to be missed or lost in the crowd.

You can get your latest issue of Magpie Times: Barn Quilts now, either as a print copy, a digital copy, or a Magpie Times Subscription (4 issues for the price of 3, save 70% off the print version). You don't have to do a thing, the newest issue will arrive in your email when it's available.

In this issue, you'll find barn quilts, as well as the lore of the Underground Railroad quilts, a Chéticamp frame story, the Bayeux Tapestry, Shop Talk: Just Jennifer's, a Tiny Barn Quilt Village, Lord of the Rings inspired applique banners, free patterns, and so much more.
