Scaling Up Quilt Designs and Junk Journaling - Carol Ann McCandless | Paducah Quilt Murals

(Show 3807) Meet Carol Ann McCandless, who rocketed to fame in the quilt world when she took a leap of faith and said yes to a design firm's bold request: creating two oversized art quilts for an apartment building outside Nashville, TN. Learn how her work as a floral designer, her experience at Ethan Allen, and her years as a professional longarmer gave her the vision and skills needed to take on such a monumental project. Carol Ann shares the tips and tricks she discovered for scaling a design from sketch to finished quilt, and she demonstrates how to transform a simple composition notebook into a personalized junk journal filled with creative ephemera and hand stitching. Then, see how two Paducah artists, Deb Lyons and Char Downs, are honoring famous quilts and celebrating the art of quiltmaking through vibrant quilt murals.
