Award-winning quilt artist Teri Cherne is a quilter with sheer determination. As an artist, she didn’t let a little thing like two bouts of cancer keep her from creating. Known for her incredibly detailed and precise work, Teri shares how she drafts an entire quilt before needle ever hits thread. But that’s not all, she loves adding interesting details in her binding that she calls,
"The frame for your picture." You won't believe the results.
Then Alex shares a contemporary rendition of an antique Shoo-Fly quilt as a way to honor and treasure those who stitched before.
