Featured Quilt - From Creative Spark to Finished Quilt

Knotty but Nice by Marque McKay, and quilted by Karen Lambdin, won a Second Place award at the 2025 Dallas Quilt Show and was featured as part of the Machine Quilting category (Sponsored by BERNINA) at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. Explaining how their quilt was created Marque says, "In 2022, during a fit of boredom, a set of Celtic Knots disguised as Snowflakes danced into 14 EQ quilt squares on point and formed themselves into a quilt. It took all of 2023 for me to turn it into a finished product. In 2024, Queen Bee Karen Lambdin volunteered to quilt it, combining her choreography with mine. We are quietly proud."

Alex Anderson LIVE: What Blew Alex's Mind?

Featuring An Interview with Teresa Duryea Wong

"There is a culture of cuteness in Japan that is so pervasive it has its own name, kawaii. And the artists who live and breathe this iconic Japanese concept have created an entirely new genre of quilting: kawaii appliqué." Teresa Duryea Wong talks with Alex about this amazing process and the people who do it.

Alex is LIVE TODAY, July 28, 2025 @ 10am PST, 1pm EST, and 6pm London time. All classes are recorded so they can be viewed later.
