Featured Quilt - Stop Sign Shaped Blocks You'll Want to Stop and Look At

Mary Bauer's quilt, Bohemian Rhapsody, won Best Stationary Machine Workmanship at 2022 AQS QuiltWeek in Grand Rapids. This Jen Kingwell inspired design challenges you to take your eyes off of it, with its kaleidoscopic flourishes and octagonal blocks that keep coming at you left and right. As for its name, Mary says, "While I was working on the layout and setting elements, the quilt took on a psychodelic feel, which prompted the name Bohemian Rhapsody."

What Quilting Curios Does Blair Have to Share?

By now you probably know, you need to stick around to the very end of every episode of The Quilt Show to check for an After Set. Our latest show is no exception, and features a fun and silly set with Blair Stocker as she shares images of her purpose built studio and talks about her "cabinet of curiosities" that houses her collection of vintage sewing items. And if that intrigues you, you won't want to miss the rest of the show, which is getting glowing reviews:

"Wonderful show ! Loved Blair Stocker.. Really interesting way to do T Shirt quilts changed my outlook on them. Thank you TQS" - Joanne Knapp

"Great show and love the use of recycling, so I am glad to see this." -
Karen Wheeler
