The latest vintage offering from Martingale is Vintage Vibes: Traditional Quilts, Fresh Fabrics by Amber Johnson. There's a reason why we never get tired of vintage quilts: they're classic! Timeless, elegant, and beautiful, these quilts remind us not only of our own "good old days" but the good old days of our parents and our grandparents—a whole legacy of quilting coming together beneath our machines. The goal of Vintage Vibes is to capture the look and feel of a traditional vintage quilt with the fresh spin of modern fabrics. Mixing the old with the new ... what's better than that?

Vintage Vibes has everything you could want in a quilt pattern book. The tutorials are clearly laid out, filled with helpful charts and images, and comprehensive. Johnson includes little tidbits along the way—either fun facts about the fabric or tips and techniques that you can squirrel away for later use. What makes the tutorials in Vintage Vibes unique is that you aren't just learning a project, you're learning a whole new skillset.

Whether you consider yourself a traditional or modern quilter, one of the projects in Vintage Vibes will be perfect for your next quilt!
