Ricky Tims

There's so much to share with you from our upcoming show, but we'll tease it out to you with only two topics covered, world fabrics and stash busting. What are you going to learn about those two? Are the concepts related? Which one will you learn from our guest Lynette S. Warren and which will be covered by your trusted co-host Ricky Tims? Join us on the set and see if you can decipher the clues of what is happening on the next Quilt Show!

Debuting July 27, 2025: On the next Quilt Show, if quilting is her cake, then research about quilters who have gone before is the icing on that cake. Lynette S. Warren works exclusively by hand, but she likes to use non-traditional fabrics in traditional settings to make them look modern. She says, if you're afraid to use world fabrics, she's got some reassuring ideas for you

Karla Alexander and Ricky Tims bring the improv fun this Sunday as they show you the new tricks and techniques the have up their sleeve. What are they teaching? We're not spilling the beans on everything, put you can get a front row seat to our latest set visit to get a glimpse of Karla's Improv Littles and Ricky's brand new Blink Block.

Debuting May 4, 2025: On the next Quilt Show, dynamic innovation with fun fabrics and shapes. Karla Alexander is back with her colorful, contemporary quilts, and she's developed this concept of improv "Littles". They're little units of patchwork that you can use in your quilts that add a splash of unexpected. Plus, learn how to make inset organic circles painlessly. Karla actually says they're fun, and she promises perfection.

This week we welcome first time guest Wen Redmond to The Quilt Show, who will be demonstrating how to create holographic and textured images printed on unconventional materials. Not to be left out, Ricky gets in on the fun too to show you how he made his Spiderweb quilt​. Get a glimpse of everything that's heading your way as we go behind the scenes of the latest Quilt Show.

Debuting January 19, 2025: On the next Quilt Show, her experimentation with fiber, mixed media, and photographs takes her to the next level when it comes to her art in ways you've never seen before. Wen Redmond says she makes art, but then her art makes her. You don't want to miss it. She somehow stumbled across making her images holographic, and now she wants you to learn how. Then, see how Wen texturizes her images using products like molding past and Ink Aid. We were blown away with what we were seeing.

This Sunday brings us another brand new edition of The Quilt Show, and we wanted you to be the first to get a glimpse of what was happening on the set as we shot it. From a fringed edge design demo from Ricky, to the delightful quilts inspired by the photos of our guest Cindy Wiens, it's another can't miss show that is only a few days away!

Debuting June 16, 2024: On the next Quilt Show, we plucked her from relative obscurity and we're shining a big, bright spotlight on the talents of Fresno, California quilter Cindy Wiens. Cindy has the ability to find inspiration and patterns in the most unusual places and then translate them directly into fabric. It's really cool to see.

The traditional and the modern come together in our upcoming show this Sunday. Go behind the scenes and see how Pati Fried pairs traditional hand-stitching with modern quilt design. Plus, Ricky is all in on his BERNINA Q-matic and demonstrates how to draw a tessellating digitized machine quilting patterns and tips for time saving edge-to-edge quilting.

Debuting June 2, 2024: On the next Quilt Show, Ricky is going gaga over his BERNINA Q-matic and he is stitching up a storm. Ricky will show you how he draws customized designs, and then once he loads them into his Q-matic, with a push of a button his wishes are the machine's command. Presto, no hands quilting. Plus meet Pati Fried, a member of Alex's little mini-group, who is doing some really exciting things like adding texture with slow stitch.
