Featured Quilt - Third Place Pieced at Houston 2023
Act Two by Allison Lockwood won Third Place in the Pieced category (Sponsored by TrueCut) at the 2023 Houston International Quilt Festival. Allison's quilt was inspired by work she created in a class taught by a past guest of The Quilt Show, Louisa Smith. Allison says, "In my quilt, Act Two, I repurposed two textile pieces that I had grown fond of; pieces from a quilt top that I made in a Louisa Smith class that I had abandoned due to measurement irregularities, and a black-and-white fabric with cool loopy motifs that was once an IKEA duvet cover on my bed. It was fun designing and integrating these pieces into a new quilt."
Learn from Louisa right here on The Quilt Show by watching her in How to Make a Tessellating Quilt with Louisa Smith | Learn Basting Techniques with Ricky Tims.

"Butterflies & Moths" by Amy Pabst
Miniature and micro-piecing aren't the only types of quilts that Amy makes, she is also very adept at making all kinds of quilts besides log cabins. This quilt, Butterflies & Moths, was inspired by antique tobacco silks. Amy thought they were gorgeous and bought a collection of them with the intent to make a quilt. However, when she went to work with them they were too fragile and began to disintegrate as soon as she started. So, she traced templates off of them to create the shapes of the butterflies for the quilt. In addition to just being a beautiful work, Amy has also developed this piece into a two-day workshop for others to make as well.
