Featured Quilt - Handi Quilter Best Of Show Award at Houston 2022

We told you more Houston quilts were coming, and here is one of the biggest prize winners from the show. Beyond Reason by Angela Petrocelli won the Handi Quilter Best Of Show Award at the 2022 Houston International Quilt Festival. A quilt of immense proportion, both in dedication to style and its actual size (96" x" 96"), Angela's award-winning work was truly a labor of love.

She says, "Some accomplishments are beyond reason. This quilt is the embodiment of a dream…not of a finished product, but the journey and completion of a process. I believed I could, I thought I should, I said I would, and I did. The total piece count is 226,576."

Proficient PowerPoint Design is Easy with Ana Buzzalino
Make Your Own Creative Fabric

Our brand new show has Ana Buzzalino showing you how to create your own custom fabric design using the functions of PowerPoint to merge non-related images and create layers and fonts. With folders of related images, such as trees, plants, or buildings, she can simply select an image, capture a specific area and merge it into another image to create a layered effect. Once the image is completed, yardage can be made using a print-on-demand company.

Learn from Ana, and Denise Lopez, by watching How to Design with PowerPoint - Embellishing Appliqué Rocks with Ana Buzzalino | How to Load a Longarm with Denise Lopez.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: See The Stained-Glass Garden
"Garden in My Window" by Allie Aller

As an avid gardener, Allie has a goal to make a large Tiffany-inspired stained glass window quilt of her own garden. In the meantime, she made Garden in My Window as a precursor and warm-up for when she makes the actual quilt. It allowed her to discover what kind of fabrics she would like to use and what type of background to have. For this quilt, Allie used a fabric-dyed sky for the background, which is a run-up to the gargantuan 6 ft by 8 ft one she has planned for the real thing. Allie completed this garden for the Road to California - Stained Glass Revisited Exhibit in 2017.
