Get a first look at this Sunday's show and see how award-winning fiber artist and fabric illustrator Kestrel Michaud combines art quilting, technology, and a fine art background together to create her imaginative realistic works.

Debuting July 30, 2023: On the next Quilt Show, there's a new quilter on the quilt block. If you haven't heard the name Kestrel Michaud, you won't forget it after this show. Kestrel is a fabric illustrator who creates award-winning imaginative realism with hundreds of little pieces of fabric. How does she keep all of those itty-bitty fabric pieces from fraying? She'll show you.
Last Sunday we featured Kestrel Michaud's award-winning quilt, Not Today, which won First Place in the Pictorial Small category at Houston 2022. Today we are featuring an episode of Lisa Walton's Artist Stories that focuses on that wonderful quilt, the detailed process behind how it was made, and looks at more of Kestrel's other incredible multi-piece quilts.
