Featured Quilt - Enjoy The Ride

Joyride by Simone Steuxner won First Place in the Large Quilts: Stationary Machine Quilted category sponsored by Husqvarna Viking at AQS Quiltweek 2022 in Paducah. When it came to inspiration for the quilt, Simone said, "Life is not always a joyride, but making this quilt was one. I was inspired by nature and my garden life."

In The Store - Quilter's Magic Wand
Abracadabra, There They Are

The Quilter's Magic Wand is a handy little tool that makes marking quarter-inch seam lines on half-square triangles super easy. Just align the tool's central line on the corners of your fabric square and draw along each side, and voila, perfect quarter-inch seam lines. It also works great for adding quarter or half-inch seam allowance to any straight lines or for marking straight lines for quilting.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: We Are Family
"My Family" by Lynette Anderson

Featuring redwork, hand embroidery, with English paper pieced triangle borders, My Family was made by Lynette as a way to celebrate her, and everyone else's, family. Using the tree as the central motif, as Lynette does in many of her quilts, it depicts a family happily gathered underneath it. However, since this is a quilt that can be made to celebrate everyone's families, the people are not present underneath the tree in the pattern. Instead, the maker can choose to put their own family, their children's or grandchildren's drawings, or whatever else they would like that represents their brood.
