Become the Curator and Editor of Your Own Fabric Line
In this show, Susie shows Ricky how to create fabric designs using presets from a number of different free Apps available on your iPad or tablet. Combining two, three, or four apps to build layers offers even more unusual effects. Susie says that during this playtime you are now the curator and editor of the fabric you design.
Also in this show, Ricky shares a fast and fun exercise for marking out a quilting design on a curved grid. Transferring that design to the longarm, he stitches a variety of easy repeated designs that work within the gridded curve.
The show will be available for FREE through Sunday, December 26, 2021.

A Christmas Collaboration
A Summer Christmas by Mariya Waters and Gina Perkes-Tidwell won Best of Show at PIQF 30 in
2021.
Mariya wrote, ""This quilt has been an international collaboration. In Australia, Christmas time is in summer, and I wanted a quilt that was not stars and snowflakes, but celebrated our garden in full bloom. The flower is the Tudor rose, as I spent many years in the United Kingdom. I began the applique' in 2006 and finished in 2016. Gina began the
quilting in 2016 and finished in 2019. Both of us had family issues along the way that extended the completion."
