Alex and Ricky welcome back Katie Fowler to discuss what she has been up to since her last visit (Show 1807). Katie has fallen in love with the Mandala designs and taken that love of coloring that so many find enjoyable to a whole new level…coloring on fabric. She also discusses how as an artist, it is so important to be true to yourself and to embrace who you are.
Katie’s easy to use color wheel tool is a handy way to audition color combinations for any of your artwork. She shares examples of completed colored drawings that feature various color combinations. Then it’s on to the fun of using pre-printed Mandala color fabric sheets. The quilt block based designs allow you to color, heat set, and use as any other printed fabric. Katie shares tips for achieving the best results.
Katie shares a program for creating your own Mandala designs. Don’t like to bind your work? Katie has three fast finishing techniques that you will just love. Options for what you can do with a finished colored Mandala coloring sheet are also shared.

Ricky starts off the show with a fun and easy technique for drafting a multi-pieced patchwork goldfish block. The design elements become more interesting as he expands the number of paper-pieced units within the block design itself.
Never one to sit still, Alex and Ricky welcome back Katie P. Masopust to share the secrets behind her new art quilts built using log cabin blocks. Her love of tradition led Katie to see how far she could expand the block.
When it comes to quilting, we don’t often do our bodies justice. Hours of being hunched over a sewing machine can take its toll. Jake Simmons, a practicing Chiropractor, shares tips for preventing pain while quilting.
Betty Busby began her fiber exploration with a degree in ceramics. After a very successful career she transitioned to exploring and manipulating unusual non-quilting fiber that feature subjects from the natural world. Using hand painted silk, a soldering iron and other out of the norm tools, Betty shares how to make translucent and unbelievably delicate elements for her larger than life quilts featuring enlarged microscopic images. You will never look at landscaper’s cloth in the same way.
Cyndi McChesney is back to unravel the mysteries of drafting a traditional antique quilt block based on a grid system. Breaking down the block components makes the job more streamlined and allows you to determine the finished block size.
Alex and Ricky welcome back Edyta Sitar who is the designer of the TQS 2018 BOM quilt, the Patchwork Barn. Edyta loves designing and making all of her own quilts. She talks about loving scrappy quilts and using an anchor to tie the parts together so your eye can rest. When she isn’t going scrappy, she loves working in blue and white as the colors are versatile and timeless. She gives tips for fabric selection, including the Rule of Five, when only working in two colors.
Edyta is a big proponent of testing out ideas and techniques before making a quilt. She shows how working small can allow you to see how colors and blocks come together before making a large version.
Want more tips? Edyta also demonstrates a clever binding technique that reduces bulk in the corner. And if that’s not enough, she introduces a second color way for the TQS 2018 BOM.
Edyta also brings part of her large collection of her own and antique quilts for a giant bed turning on the set and talks about the children’s book she wrote that includes a quilt project.

I don't have a Mac, and haven't been able to find the one for the PC doing a web search. (other than one a great deal more expensive)
Can you please tell those of us who don't use a Mac what the PC one is?
Thanks
I would also like to be able to download Ricky’s baby bunting pattern. Hope it is loaded on this site soon!
For Ricky’s baby bunting paper piecing pattern does not appear to be working. Please advise on where it can be downloaded elsewhere on your site. Thank you.
I don't know if you are looking for technical feedback, but I noticed that this video was produced with Vimeo and the last several were YouTube. I don't know what other people's experiences are, but for me the Vimeo videos are really annoying because they constantly stop to load. The YouTube videos worked perfectly for me and made the shows much more comfortable to watch. If you can do more shows with YouTube, that would be great!!
