Featured Quilt - Outstanding Artistry at Road to California 2025
St. Radigund's Garden (Canterbury, UK) by Audrey Durnan won Outstanding Artistry (Sponsored by Superior Threads) at Road to California 2025. Also featured as part of the Machine Quilting category (Sponsored by BERNINA) at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024, Audrey's quilt is one she created to evoke a memory of her childhood that she wanted to share with the quilting community. She says, "I want to share my memory of the colors in a summer English garden in Canterbury by the River Stour. Saint Radigund's Garden arose from a reclaimed bombsite, which I marveled at often as a girl." |

Coming This February
From the American Folk Art Museum: "Featuring 42 textile works and oil paintings, Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets is the first comprehensive survey of Santos Reinbolt’s art ever presented and marks the first-ever solo museum exhibition for the artist organized outside her native Brazil. Best known for her large-scale embroideries made from hundreds of vibrant colored threads, which the artist referred to as quadros de lã (“wool paintings”), the exhibition represents more than half of all known works by the artist and examines the artist’s work through a variety of lenses, including gender, race, and socio-economic dynamics."
Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets will be on display at the American Folk Art Museum in New York, NY from February 12, 2025 through May 25, 2025.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Intertwining Together

"Intertwined" by Wen Redmond
Intertwined features the same photograph repeated once on the background of interfacing that is quilted, and then the same photograph is printed on lutradur, which is a commercially-spun polyester fabric that's used for upholstery and commercial furniture. Wen says, "Intertwined represents my expansion into non-commercially prepared substrates. I printed it on interfacing and lutradur, treated with non-porous white digital grounds, cut up and repositioned on top of the image printed on the interfacing."

Prepared For Any Occasion
While a hammer, paint brush, and a pencil may not seem like the requisite tools a quilter may need, one can never be too prepared. In fact, our most recent guest Wen Redmond uses all those tools in the art she creates. So it goes to show you can never be too prepared when it comes to quilting. See what other interesting tools are guest artists use in the over 450 shows we have to offer at The Quilt Show, because you might just find something you need to add to your quilting tool belt. |
