Just looking at it, you think, "hmmm, interesting...,"  The fact is that it is amazing.  This dress is made up from "shopping" bags that she probably only received the day before.  Yes, shopping bags made out of that sort've  flimsy, woven textile'ish stuff.  How fast could you put one together?  Probably would've made a cool quilt as well.

Sometimes it's the little things that make for a good show.  Take a look at Ricky ironing our one-of-a-kind tablecloth.  Ricky created the fabric that contains the names of every guest we've ever had on the show and Lilo put it together for our demo table.  Have you ever made your own fabric?

The Complete Quilter: Quilts of Pat Campbell at the National Quilt Museum

September 19 - November 18, 2014
What makes a Complete Quilter? Pat Campbell defined this, simply because she encompassed the concept so clearly. Pat's innovation, her extensive collection of awards, numerous completed quilts, and knowledge-packed books carried her to the top of the quilting world. One of the most important contributions a quilter can make to the quilting community is to grow as a quilter and share experiences. Pat did this through the quilting and appliqué classes she offered, the patterns she designed, and more. We hope you enjoy learning from her in this beautifully curated exhibit.
