Featured Quilt - 2024 Dallas Quilt Show Best of Show
The Crossing by Linda Roy of Knoxville, TN is a multi-award winning quilt having won awards in Paducah, Daytona, and now Best of Show at the 2024 Dallas Quilt Show. Originally inspired by antique appliqué pomegranate quilts, the colors were chosen to compliment her sister's home. Unfortunately her sister did not see it to completion.
Linda's quilt is a stunning appliqué quilt and the addition of embroidery, stippling, and "upside down" stuffed yo-yos make this quilt a true stunner.

Become a Quilting Architect
Cathy Perlmutter shares how to build an improv building based on a ladder design that is cut to shape with a wedge ruler. Using photos for inspiration she shows how to add variety with stairs, windows, a "wedding cake" house, and off-set buildings for a more interesting cityscape. Buildings are individually finished with a turned edge allowing her the fun of moving them around on the background before appliquéing in place with monofilament thread.
Learn from Cathy by watching her in Learn Improv Log Cabin Triangle Piecing, Cityscapes, and Judaic Quilting with Cathy Perlmutter.
