Quiltfolk Issue 39 (Washington, D.C.)

Buy Issue 39 (Washington, D.C.) of Quiltfolk magazine. Founded in 1790 from land carved out of Maryland and Virginia, Washington, D.C. is a city of paradoxes – small in size but vast in influence. At just 68 square miles, the District of Columbia is smaller than the smallest state, yet it holds more than 175 embassies and the nation's most powerful institutions. 

In 2026, as the United States marks its 250th anniversary, the nation's capital feels especially important. Here, history is not confined to museums or memorials; it is woven into daily life, constantly evolving through the voices and hands of the people who call the District home.

Beneath the grand buildings and marble monuments, the city hums with everyday life, from Georgetown’s cobblestones to Capitol Hill's rowhouses. It is within this layered, storied landscape that Washington, D.C. quilters gather to cut, piece and stitch meaning into material.
