Lisa Ellis has an exhibit at the 2024 Houston Quilt Show entitled Cathedral Windows Contemporary Explorations, sponsored by Cherrywood Fabrics, that features her quilts that share her "long love affair of the textures and complexity of the overlapping circles of the Cathedral Window design." We caught up with Lisa on the floor of the show and she personally gave us the inside scoop on the exhibit.

About the Exhibit: "Lisa Ellis has had a long love affair with the textures and complexity of the overlapping circles of the Cathedral Window design. She was inspired to create this collection when she unearthed a quilt her grandmother made in the 1970s, a Cathedral Window made by hand on a muslin background. She played with the method her grandmother used to design the blocks but realized that she needed to take a different approach. Ellis developed her own construction technique, which can be pieced entirely by machine. She has worked within this series since 2015 and is still exploring its creative possibilities."

See the exhibit for yourself this week at the 2024 Houston International Quilt Festival, which takes place at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas from October 31, 2024 through November 3, 2024, with Preview Night occurring on October 30, 2024.
