Featured Quilt - Second Place Appliqué at Houston 2023
Wild Rose by Noriko Kido won Second Place in the Appliqué category (Sponsored by The Quilt Show) at 2023 Houston International Quilt Festival. Noriko says of the design of her quilt, "I like the traditional flower appliqué pattern. I made my own original flower pattern and unfolded it into a large quilt. The small triangles are remnants of the Feathered Star that I tried to combine at the beginning. The composition became complicated, and I had a hard time sewing it together."

Turn Monoprinting Into Your Next Artistic Obsession
Valerie C. White begins her first demo on our brand new show by sharing the pros and cons of working with a paper-like high tech woven poly/nylon that accepts paint, dye, doesn’t fray, and is archival. She then shows how to create a design using a gelli plate acrylic paint and adding texture with assorted objects (comb, feathers, wire, etc.) before it is transferred to an Evolon sheet.
Learn from Valerie, and Kate Colleran, by watching Using Evolon for Die Cutting and Monoprinting with Valerie C. White | Fabric Braids with Kate Colleran.
