Quilters by their nature keep lots of things, as evidenced by their large stashes. So you never know if you have a diamond in the rough amongst the collection of other things you have boxed up in your house. Take for example this Women's Cotten Printed Dress from the late 1700s that was gifted to a couple. They took it to Antiques Roadshow to find out some more about it and received quite a pleasant surprise with the information they received. Watch the video to find out what they learned.
From PBS Wisconsin: "Rhonda Pierce of Euro-notions SCHMETZ needles shares the differences between needle types along with needle facts. Piecing and quilting? Sewing with knits? What needle should you use? Selecting the appropriate needle can make the difference between struggling with stitches and sewing with ease. Elevate your confidence in machine needle selection."
While not quilting related, the title sequence to the PBS series All Creatures Great and Small is it's own artistic achievement we felt was worth sharing. Depicting the Yorkshire Dales and the journey of its title character, James Herriot, this lovely series of images is evocative of many nature inspired quilts seen before. Go behind the scenes and learn how the creators brought this beautiful visage to life.
