If you were lucky enough to view the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and decided to stay an extra day, you were in for a treat! The Sisters Outdoors Quilt Show Sunday is an up close introduction to one Quilter's Affair Instructor and their quilts. Held at the beautiful 5 Pines Lodge, it is a beautiful setting for a more intimate quilt show.
The guest speaker shares their process and history, which not only includes a lecture and slide show but also a walking tour with the artist through the grounds of 5 Pines. The quilts are hung between the trees with the beautiful wild flowers beneath and the sunlight dancing across them.
Carolyn Friedlander was the quilt artist for the 2019 Quilt Show Sunday and we will have a full video of this wonderful artist on the Quilt Roadies YouTube Channel. After viewing the videos of this years show, you are going to want to start planning for your trip to visit us in 2020!
Stay tuned and travel along with us on Quilt Roadies.

Karen Grover wanted to use denim, vintage shirting, and appliqué on indigo fabric. She discovered she might have a bit of an issue with the different weights of each fabric and came up with an elegant solution. She also created the very elegant Buttermilk and Blue Skies.
Karen's quilt was on display at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.

Originally from Normandie, France, designer Eymeric François was trained by Thierry Mügler in his Paris fashion house. Independent since the early 2000s, Eymeric François does several haute couture fashion shows in Paris and around the world every year including Eastern Europe, Japan, and Thailand. For many years, Eymeric has been accompanied by BOHIN France to create fabulous creations made of hundreds of thousands pins in brass, steel - nickeled or not. Pins become embroidery, jewelry, lace, etc. The pin is magnified on the woman’s body who then becomes dangerous, not to say fatal… These beauties that one must approach with sensitivity will amaze you but watch out – you might get burned!

Squaring up her quilts has always been a challenge for Alex. Quilts have a habit of moving as you make big cuts. But these cuts need to be accurate. Using Quilters Select rulers, Alex shows you how to square up your quilt.

Yes, but it is different. Chromecast and AppleTV need another device to "cast" or send the picture to the TV. In good WiFi they work very well. In poor WiFi there is a lag that can happen. Chromecast works well with PCs and Android phones, and AppleTV works well with iPhones, Macs, and iPads. With Chromecast and AppleTV you actually find our show on the device and then select a little icon that then connects you with your big TV screen.
The Amazon Fire Stick (and newer Smart TVs) have a browser built in. So, you can find TQS on the internet without having any other devices necessary. Then if you bookmark our login page and have the login pre-entered (saved), you can get to our show very quickly.
Of course, as with anything that is in the Apple Ecosphere, it is about 3x as expensive as the alternatives. (I own all 3 and I am an Apple user.)
Chromecast $39, Chromecast Ultra $69, AppleTV HD 32g $149, AppleTV 4K 64g $199, FireStick 4k $49 (Probably on Prime Day $39 - just a guess).

Capt'n John: I am writing this on Sunday so I don't know what the price of the Fire Stick 4k (my recommended model) will be. Alex and I have found that watching TQS on the big TV more fun. (It is a TV show!). It works great in her studio so she can play it while she works. Watch the video to get my hints on setup that will make returning and watching again very easy. So, if it's a great price, this would be a good time to try it out. (By the way, it is also a great way to see the quilts we put in the blog.)
Disclaimer: TQS is not associated with Amazon and gets no commission on any sales. We just like how it allows you to see the shows.
