Featured Quilt - Getting Ready for a "Modern" Winter
Modern Minimalist Snowflake by Shelley Koss was featured as part of the Modern Quilts - A Twist on Tradition Exhibit (Sponsored by Wonderfil Specialty Threads) at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. A negative space quilt that's perfect for the upcoming Winter season, Shelley took a traditional design that you may have seen before and modernized it.
She says, "Inspired by the Amish Star quilts that used many different types of printed fabric to make a star, I turned the idea on its modern head to simplify it. I used red modern fussy-cut fabrics designed to enhance the stark white minimalist background. The red piecing is much smaller than traditional star-patterned quilts, lending volumes of negative space for the free-motion quilting to create beautiful shadow lines. The red fabric is purposefully not quilted, breaking traditional rules." |

Celebrate The Holidays with Music from Ricky
In your standard holiday advent calendar, you get a piece of candy or a small toy each day leading up to Christmas. Our very own Ricky Tims has taken that concept and tailored it to his liking to present you with his own Advent Music Calendar. Every day leading up to Christmas, Ricky will be performing a beautiful piece of music for you to enjoy on his Facebook page. Come back each day for something new.
If you enjoy Ricky's music, listen to his album Christmas in a Small Town on most streaming services. You can either search for the Christmas in a Small Town album on the internet, or ask your Amazon Alexa to, “play the album, Christmas in a Small Town by Ricky Tims”. Spotify and Apple Music work too!
But if you're the kind of person that enjoys having a real life copy in their hands to listen to at home, purchase a CD of Christmas in a Small Town right here at The Quilt Show! |

"Charleston Carriage" by Lee Chappell Monroe
Charleston Carriage is a quilt that Lee designed specifically to teach the students she has been working with for many, many years. It was made for her students to help develop their skills, including choosing what fabrics to use, picking their palettes, and then learning the skills they want to develop. She says, "It draws on appliqué, patchwork and foundation piecing. It puts the piecer in the driver’s seat to create their own layout using the many options in the pattern."
