On March 1 we will launch The Cutting Table, a new digital mini magazine from Suzy Quilts! If you're curious about why we wanted to launch our own digital publication, you’re in the right place.
Each issue of The Cutting Table is a themed collection of articles, tutorials, and videos from our creative team.

I have been fascinated by barn quilts since I saw my first one in rural Michigan this past Christmas. I made my husband drive up a snow covered path so I could hop out of the car, scamper through the snow and snap a photo.
I come to you today, writing this blog post on a typewriter, in a trench coat, smoking a cigar.
Okay, not really. But I should be. Because the Irish Chain Quilt, though seemingly just beautiful and innocent and a great choice for your next quilting project, is actually very, very mysterious.
