Featured Quilt - Third Place Novice Quilts at the 2023 Festival of Quilts


No, you have not jumped to another universe, that's just the name of the next award-winning quilt from the 2023 Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, England. Victoria Miller's quilt, Parallel Universes, took home Third Place in the Novice Quilts category at the show for her stunning Bargello quilt.


About the quilt, Victoria says, "Being a novice, I keep looking for new interesting patterns. I always liked bargello patterns. Argyle quilt by Eileen Wright was my inspiration. Moda basic grey jelly rolls were ideal for this pattern and once the top was done I realized it looks like a galaxy or a universe, hence the name."

You'll Be "Dripping" with Excitement Watching This


Cindy Lohbeck demonstrates an innovative technique for dyeing an ombre fabric using a vertical drip rig. She says that dyeing vertically is a less messy process, doesn’t take up a great deal of space, and allows you to build values of a single color from light to dark.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Not So Common Tree Color

"Red Tree" by Valori Wells


Red Tree was made using blind hem stitch embroidery, and while Valori says that it is a quick put-together quilt, the quilting on it certainly was not. The quilting on this quilt has about eight layers of thread which create the titular "Red Tree".
