Featured Quilt - Third Place Appliqué at Houston 2024

A Few of My Favorite Things by Judy Faulkner won Third Place - Appliqué, sponsored by The Quilt Show itself, at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. Judy's quilt was created with, you guessed it, her favorite things in mind. She says, “This quilt is composed of a few of my favorite things: William Morris designs, the colors aqua and lime, turned-edge hand appliqué, silk embroidery thread, lustrous beads, decorative cording, quilted vines, and curved cross-hatching. I loved every minute…well, almost…that I got to spend creating it.”

Reimagining Shirting with Lorraine Woodruff-Long

Find Out Why A Shirt Is More Than Just Something to Wear

Since 2018, Lorraine Woodruff-Long has focused on upcycling available materials, starting with her husband's closet of shirts. Ten shirts became ten quilts, inspiring her to search local thrift stores for fabric "gems." She discusses which types of shirts provide the most fabric and pattern choices, how to handle shrinkage, and ways to build cohesive color families.
