Featured Quilt - Second Place Pictorial at Houston 2025
Arcane Snap by Kestrel Michaud won Second Place - Pictorial (Sponsored by World of Quilts Travel) at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2025. Kestrel says of the inspiration behind her quilt, "This boy and his dog were in the right place at the right time to witness an Arcane Snap, which is like a magical earthquake. Over time, magical energy builds up pressure until it finally lets go. Just like a tremor, some snaps are benign. The one shown in this quilt is no more than a very colorful light show, but sometimes snaps can have powerful, lasting, and unexpected effects on the surrounding area."
Learn from Kestrel right here at The Quilt Show by watching her in A Mod Podge Appliqué Technique and Fabric Selection with Kestrel Michaud | Embroidery Hoop Quilting with Sarah Vedeler.

What's Underneath the Surface?
Not everything is visible the first time you see it. Like how Julia McLeod creates layers of shimmering beauty by placing sheer fabric on top of her cottons. The same can definitely said about each episode of The Quilt Show. While on a first watch you'll learn what's there on the surface, but once you have your second, third, or fourth watch you'll discover a world of new techniques, tips, and tricks available to you that you weren't looking for the first time. So come and watch all your favorites at The Quilt Show, whether it's for the first, or hundredth, time, there is always something new for you to learn.
