Featured Quilt - Quilted, Not Stirred
Tang martini by AnnMarie Cowley was featured in the Minimalist Design category at QuiltCon 2023. AnnMarie says of her quilt, "Using free clip art from ClipArtMag and the Michael Miller backing fabric for color inspiration, I created the feel of a mid-century diner. I made giant paper templates for the bulk of the design. It is quilted with my seer-sucker quilting."

The Mad Color Scientist Is Here and Ready to Teach
Scott Hansen's Urban Folk quilts are big and based in tradition but filled with color, pattern, and no curved seams.

Plus, Alex has a fun and handy mixed-media storage tote project for you that's sure to be the envy of everyone in your next class.
Watch Scott and Alex in One Unit Two Blocks and Modern Quilt Design with Scott Hansen | Decorate a Fun Storage Tote with Alex Anderson, which debuts today!

The Quilt Show Puzzle: The Freedom To Decide
|
 |
|
|
"Freedom" by David Owen Hastings
Wanting to break away from his "square way" of
quilting, i.e. lots of rectangles, David forced himself to work with curves and round shapes for Freedom as a way to break free from himself during the pandemic. It was designed using a rough thumbnail sketch, a trick he brought to his quilting from his graphic design training, and from there David was given the "freedom", hence the title, to play with his work and let it evolve.

Proper Preparation and Planning
If there's one thing you don't want when starting a project,
it's not having all the right materials from the get-go. That won't happen here at The Quilt Show, as we let you know the tools and materials you'll need to create the projects our guest teachers demonstrate for you. So get your shopping list set, and get ready to embark on a fun journey of quilting ahead (while being totally prepared upfront)!
