"Some magazines you look at and toss. Some you set aside to savor later. Some you can never get rid of. They are that beautiful, that rich, that evocative. Quiltfolk is one of the latter breed. This quarterly, which has been published out of Eugene since 2017, could be termed a "bookazine," a magazine as good as a book. You may have other bookazines cluttering your shelves, maybe National Geographic, Living Bird, Architectural Digest, Color, or UPPERCASE."
""Making a magazine is a little bit like making a quilt. A spark of an idea inspires action, as you begin to compile and work on the many pieces that will eventually join together to make a much larger whole. And like a quilt, when it's all finished, and you stand back and take in those tiny pieces, and the whole they have made, you hope that others will find the beauty in what you have created.""
Quiltfolk is a quarterly "bookazine" published from Eugene since 2017 that showcases regional quilting culture with heavy paper stock, clean layouts, simple stories, and curated photography. The publication contains no ads and focuses each issue on a specific state or region, with numbered issues covering places like Oregon, Virginia, and Alaska. Founder Michael McCormick conceived the idea while selling sewing lamps and visiting quilt stores, observing the creative atmosphere and individual quilter stories. Quiltfolk produced a special edition for the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, which celebrated its 50th anniversary, and regularly highlights events and local quilting communities.
