Allison Lockwood's quilt, seen here at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, was inspired by a trip to Thailand in 2004.  She hand appliqued, hand quilted, and hand embellished the entire quilt.  The Tree of Life is Allison's attempt to unite the sensory inspiration of a Thai Buddhist temple with an important cultural symbol.

Susan and Kay talk about the Spanish Hem Stitch.  This stitch was traditionally done by hand, but now you can do it on your machine with Bernina's Spanish Hem Stitch attachment.  It is a technique used to join ribbons or strips of fabric and, when completed, creates an open lacey look.  In the This and That Embellishment Sampler, Susan and Kay joined ribbon and then overlaid it onto fabric.
