Get The Story All the Way from "England"

Two-time TQS guest and picturesque pictorial quilt maker Cynthia England is the subject of this week's Quilters' Save Our Stories (QSOS) program from the Quilt Alliance. In it, she talks about not one, but two quilts, Piece and Quiet, one of her serene forest pictorial quilts, and Power of Houston, celebrating the city of Houston and the International Quilt Festival, which she made with Libby Lehman and Vicki Mangum.

"Tanzania" by Teresa Duryea Wong

Tanzania was born out of Teresa's love for appliqué. While making her more traditional quilts, she was doing a lot of hand appliqué and covering her quilts with embroidery and hand quilting them. As she progressed more into art quilting, she wanted to explore different techniques. As a result, Tanzania is entirely raw edge appliqué, fused, and quilted on the machine. The quilt was inspired by a photo that Teresa and her husband took on a trip to Tanzania in 2011, and she learned to do the techniques for this quilt in a class from David Taylor.

Keep Your Goals In Focus

With only 24 hours in day, it can be hard to decide what you're going to use your time to do. But it's not difficult if you know what goals you want to focus on. Take for example the quilts in the above photo. While not clearly visible, your dream of making those quilts and becoming a master quilter is in reach because you've chosen to focus on your sewing machine first. As they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So why not take that step with The Quilt Show and conquer your quilting goals one by one!
