Featured Quilt - A Playful Parrot Quilt
Mango Garden by Stacie Spradlin was featured in the Wall Quilts - Quilter's Choice category at AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2025 and Modern Quilt category at AQS QuiltWeek - Branson 2025. Stacie made the quilt from the pattern of the same name featured at Tildasworld.com, and it features the Bloomsville fabric collection designed by Tilda Fabrics. This is not the first version of Stacie's Mango Garden quilt, as the first iteration was made as a shop sample for her local quilt shop the Hickory Stick Quilt Shop, in Hannibal, MO. That version featured a mistake where two of the parrots' heads were inverted from the original pattern's intention. Now knowing the mistake she made, and not being able to fix the sample, Stacie started from scratch and made Mango Garden 2.0.
To learn more about the quilt, and the work that went into making it, be sure to click the Quilt Video tab after viewing the photos while in the Featured Gallery. Once there, you can watch an interview between Stacie and AQS Executive Show Director Michelle Renee Hiatt on the floor of AQS QuiltWeek - Branson 2025 where they discuss this quilt and her other entry in the show, Catch Me, a collaboration with Jacqueline de Jonge. |

A Dynamic Dress for a Dynamite Singer
From the Victoria and Albert Museum: "Join New York-based designer, Marc Bouwer, and V&A Senior Conservator, Rachael Lee, as they take a close-up look at the glittering dress worn by Whitney Houston at the Grammy Awards in 1994. Bouwer's long-term working relationship with Whitney Houston saw him create hundreds of on-stage looks for the singer, each tailored to her preference for ease of movement and support for her vocal chords. Discover the inspiration behind the striking design and the painstaking process of its embellishment as the dress is prepared for display in our DIVA exhibition (24 June 2023 – 7 April 2024)." |
