Alex and Ricky welcome artist and author Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero (Episode 507) back to the TQS studio for a look at some of her newest work, which marries machine embroidery with her trademark Kaleidoscope designs. Jeanie, a former software engineer for Hewlett-Packard, explains how to select an image, print it on fabric, transform it into a unique design using her Kaleidoscope Kreator program, and then enhance it with machine embroidery. In addition, Connie Fanders, Director of Education for BERNINA USA, shows a quick-and-easy way to make a rag quilt (and more) using your serger.

While in high school, award-winning quilt artist Jerry Granata made costumes for the National Marionette Company—an experience that taught him that no fabric is off limits, even for quilting. The trick is in knowing how to tame it, and in this show, Jerry reveals the huge variety of unusual fabrics available to quilters (think leather, lamé, fake fur, upholstery), where to find them, which to use when, how to prepare them, work with them, and even quilt them. We wrap with a tour of our day's location, The Witte Museum in San Antonio, TX, where Jerry—for 21 years a professional musician with the United States Navy—provides the soundtrack on his RED saxophone.
Episode 1503: Quilting without Limits: Using Unconventional Fabrics in Your Work debuts on Monday, August 4, 2014.

Joy Voltenburg created this quilt to learn Shadow Trapunto and Scalloped Edges. Joy says she figured out how to do the techniques without instruction, but more importantly learned how to do them better next time. Actually, they look pretty great this time.

This year, we started a program for you to practice techniques featured on our weekly shows. For each show, we provide an 8" finished block so that you can try out the featured artist's technique. We recommended that you create a notebook for the practice projects, or save them to stitch into a wonderful sampler of your learning journey. We called this program Little Scraps of Magic, but unfortunately, many viewers didn't really understand what this fun and instructive program is all about.
So...we've renamed LSofM with a less catch, but more "accurate" name: TQS Show Techniques. We invite you to join us, make the simple projects, and share your results with others on the site. This week, we're featuring our "Hexie Block," which allows you to try your hand at creating interesting secondary patterns with your hexies by fussy-cutting.
But first, watch the FREE clip from our current show (Episode 1502) with Mary Elizabeth Kinch. You'll never look at fabric the same way again!
Make the shows and projects a part of your Quilting Learning Journey.
