Quilt Design can be so challenging and befuddling for so many quilters, in fact, many choose to quilt by check. But if you think you’re ready in this New Year to learn a new skill or hone the skills you already have…this show is for you. It’s all about quilt design from the people who have mastered it, Sue Nickels, Cathy Franks, Cindy Needham, Nancy Arseneault, and Alex Anderson. From feathers, to tools, to fun tips and tricks, everything you need to know to get the best quilting designs is right here waiting for you in the next Quilt Show Masterclass.
Nancy Arseneault (No website Currently)
Alex Anderson (Alex Anderson Quilts)
From Chapter One:
Sue Nickels gives detailed instruction on how to design a feather, the importance of the spine, using tracing paper, and if your stumped on what kind of spine. to do, she has a nifty trick you need to check out.
Cathy Franks gives us a very entertaining and informative segment, from taping a see through film on your quilt top to see and practice designs, to using special tools that allow you to get up to 7-9 designs out of just one tool.
From Chapter Three:
Cindy Needham showcases her Ultimate Stencil, which allows you to do circular designs or square designs fairly easily. Then, Nancy Arseneault shows how she takes a picture of a full quilt top, then takes a picture of the a smaller section of the top and turns it black and white (to drop out distracting color) so you can see where to put your quilt design.
To wrap things up, Alex shares how to draft a cable quilt design, which works for just about any size area you need on your quilt.
Fiber artist Andrea Brokenshire returns to The Quilt Show to dazzle us with her flower power. Winning many awards for her wonderful quilts inspired by flowers and gardening, Andrea breaks down how she creates one of her quilts from the ground up. From prep, to photograph choice, to wrangling the quilting together, it requires as much love and care as taking care of a real plant. Also, Ricky will demonstrate how to make a New York Beauty block for the 21st Century.
Barbara Black has come to the rescue again. We asked Australian quilter Wendy Williams to be our BOM designer and she created a fabulous design, Color My World, which features a Mariner’s Compass, Roads, Small Houses, Tall Buildings, Little House in the City, Skyscrapers and a few world landmark. But COVID is preventing her from being in studio with us…..so we asked Barbara Black to step in! Barbara guides us through the the decision making and quilting process to help you usher in a fantastic Block Of the Month for the new year.
Then Lilo Bowman, who has been one of the key behind the scenes people at TQS for 13 years, guides us through organizing our quilt spaces with the help of her brand new book, Love Your Creative Space: A Visual Guide to Creating an Inspiring & Organized Studio without Breaking the Bank.
