So many of you enjoyed seeing the quilts of Ernest Haight in our December blog. Here is a repeat of the quilts and also more about him from a series of short videos by the International Quilt Study Center and Museum. Amazing what he was doing far ahead of the quilting revival in the 70's.
Click on the picture below to see his quilts (Remember to click on a quilt or sign to see if zoomed in.)

Karen showed up on set with a special treat for the entire audience. They all wanted the recipe. So here it is for everyone.
It's a quick-and-easy sweet for your next quilting get-together. You'll love Karen Gloeggler's (Episode 1405) recipe for one-bowl brownies--perfect for the next time you need dessert in a hurry. You won't even need to wash the pan!

100 needles and sewing pins . . . and is not a quilt?
Check out this creative music video ("Favorite Place") from Black Books. It features many of the elements we use for sewing and quilting.

Learn the value of handwork from Renate Hiller, a fiber artist who connects the importance of using our hands with the way in which we understand and find value in ourselves and others. Renate is the co-director of the Fiber Craft Studio at the Threefold Educational Center in Chestnut Ridge, NY.

This 4-year old girl, whom her mother calls "Mayhem" is decidedly more into fashion than your average child. She began to wrap herself in scarves and sheets while creating her own style. Her mother, Angie, suggested they make a dress out of paper and Mayhem loved the idea. They've been creating ever since and the dresses have become more and more elaborate. It's amazing what you can do with some imagination, paper, and a pair of scissors...but as quilters, we all know that.

While visiting AQS QuiltWeek in Phoenix, a detour was made to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ, where a spectacular exhibit was on display, Chihuly in the Garden. Dale Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from craft to fine art. He is renowned for his ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens.
His work was also the inspiration for a major award-winning quilt at IQF Houston 2013.
