Join us in Episode 906 when TQS returns to the beautiful Monument, CO, home of Hugh and Dee Dee Eaton with none other than the renowned art quilter, author, and teacher, Katie Pasquini Masopust. After touching on the high points of her quilting journey, and sharing some of her amazing work, she puts Alex to work on a design exercise that begins with a "no-peeking" sketch drawn to the accompaniment of classical music. (You definitely will want to try this at home!)

Katie then shows how to work with the results to create an original quilt design. In addition, Ricky demonstrates the "Flip and Sew" technique on a variation of the Drunkard's Path/Fan block.

Join us for a journey to the stars with quilting icon Judy Mathieson.  Judy shares some of the techniques that she is famous for, including her precision paper-piecing method—no paper to remove!—and how she builds her characteristic star circles, segment by segment. If that’s not enough, Judy also offers valuable pointers on what judges look for in a quilt when judging a quilt show. This not-to-be-missed episode was shot on location at the beautiful Wente Winery in Northern California, and also features a brief winery tour, a lovely redwork pattern featuring grapes, vines, and leaves, and Ricky singing opera... in a cave!

The International Quilt Festival in Houston had a very moving exhibit, The Chevron Global AIDS Memorial Quilts: Life Stories in Fabric.  The quilts in this collection emphasize the continuing need for HIV/AIDS education, treatment and prevention.  Several of the quilts include blocks that memorialize someone lost to AIDS.  These blocks include personal items and remembrances of items or activities that person loved.  Each quilt was created by a Chevron employee volunteer.
