What’s the last magazine you’d think would have a story so shocking, so controversial that it would need to be wrapped in Hustler-style plastic? My money would be on Quilter’s Home Magazine. But apparently I’d be dead wrong. It is infact the crafting rag that rocked the risque in their Jan/Feb issue with the story “Shocking Quilts: We Show You the Controversial Patchwork.”
Along with the awesome Viagra-inspired piece “Helping Hands” picture above, the spread includes fabric phalluses, gun toting Jesuses and even a bebe peekin out of it mama’s lady parts. Racy!
Sure some people – like Jo-Ann Fabrics – have decided not to sell this particular issue, but the mag’s editor, Mark Lipinski is pretty much unfazed by it. He thinks stores like Jo-Ann “might be out of touch with their customer base… When you consider that a 70-year-old could have been dancing naked at Woodstock and a 50-year-old could have been smoking pot in high school – sometimes you have to change your marketing.”
What a bad ass! I love it!
As a fabric crafting slut myself, I am totally giddy about this porno patchwork and hope I can find an copy of this issue before they are totally gone. Maybe it will inspire me to pick up quilting, something I’ve been ignoring because it seemed boring. Well, not anymore! Move over granny, and gimme that batting!
