Featured Quilt - Best of Show at Quilt National ’25

Viriditas (Greenness) by Shin-hee Chin won Best of Show (Sponsored By Moda Fabrics + Supplies) at Quilt National ’25. Shin-hee says about the inspiration for her quilt, "Rooted in the elements—fire, air, water, and earth—Viriditas reflects Hildegard of Bingen’s idea that nourishment and healing come from nature’s vitality. It celebrates the life-giving force of green, inspired by Beethoven’s 8th Symphony."

Blocking A Quilt with Alex Anderson

Become a Better Blocker

Our latest show begins with Alex talking with Ricky about the possible reasons why one of her favorite silk quilts isn’t squaring up as expected, tracing the issue back to choices she made during the assembly and quilting process. Afterward, she shares a variety of simple and successful ways to square and block a quilt.

Learn from Alex, and Jane Haworth, by watching Make a Pet Portrait and How to Create a Collage Background with Jane Haworth | How to Block a Quilt with Alex Anderson.

Alex Anderson LIVE: "Needles Out" with Nichole Vogelsinger

A Delightful Discussion from QuiltCon

The Quilt Show spoke with Nichole Vogelsinger at QuiltCon 2025, and talked about her embroidery pieces and discussed her latest book, "Needles Out". Nichole lays a foundation for four techniques: beading/embellishing, stumpwork, fabric painting, and needle felting. It is a 'WildBoho' fusion of chaos and control.

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

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Fantastic "Fireworks"

"Fireworks" by Carol Ann Waugh

Fireworks is a collection of two quilts by Carol, and comes from a point in her career when she started looking at the backgrounds of her quilts and started to see that the combination of colors and stitches can create different things from different points of view. So for Fireworks, the quilts begin to look one way from far away, and as you move closer your perception of them begins to change because of those variations in color and stitch.
