Take one look through this issue, and it’s easy to understand why New
Mexico is called The Land of Enchantment. The state’s breathtaking
views, rich history, and, of course, the stunning quilts and their
talented creators are sure to leave you captivated. Though it’s often
portrayed as an arid desert, New Mexico boasts some of the most diverse
landscapes in the US, with everything from expansive, red-hued deserts
and lush grasslands to mesas and towering, snow-capped mountains. The
landscapes of New Mexico feel almost otherworldly. And speaking of the
otherworldly, New Mexico is also home to one of the most famous
conspiracy theories — the Roswell incident. In 1947, a United States
Army Air Forces balloon allegedly crashed near Roswell, sparking rumors
of a downed extraterrestrial spacecraft. While aliens might “Come in
Peace,” quilters “Come to Piece.” Over the years, the Roswell story has
grown into a mix of mythology and mystery and we think that looking
through this issue you’ll agree — New Mexico’s quilters are out of this
world. Includes artists Blair Stocker, Carol Wilson Spigner, Debbie
Schulze, Elizabeth Whitehead, the Fab Five (Betty Busby, Nicole Dunn,
Gail Garber, Michelle Jackson, and Judith Roderick), George Mendoza,
Georgia Cortez, the Navajo Quilt Project, Nicki Stewart, Priscilla
Bancroft, Susan Hudson, Terrie Hancock Mangat, Josie Valdez, Vicki
Conley and Bobbi Lucero. Quiltfolk Magazine, Issue 33. 162 pages.
