With all of the crazy weather going on throughout the country, it's nice to take a moment and reflect on the joy that a first snow can bring.  First Snow, by Susan Brubaker Knapp, was part of the "An Exquisite Moment" exhibit at the Long Beach Quilt Festival 2013.

You can learn more about Susan in Episode 901: State-of-the-Art Quilting: Tradition Meets Innovation - It's a true "multimedia experience" as quilt artist, teacher, and pattern designer Susan Brubaker Knapp joins the TQS gang on location at the home of Hugh and Dee Dee Eaton in Monument, CO. Susan shares some of her traditional and art pieces in a wonderful show and tell, and then - after a brief "musical interlude" (accompanied by Ricky) - she gets down to business, demonstrating her method for making consistently sized vines and her techniques for needle-turn appliqué. She also shows how she designs and creates a quilt using an original photo and her computer. (Bonus: the demo pattern will be available on the TQS website for download.) We wrap up with a visit to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, CO, which opened its doors in 1990 as a showcase for Colorado quilts and quilting.
