The DAR Museum has in its collection a dress which dates back to 1800-1820. However, the fabric appears to be from 1705-1710.
Inside the dress you can see indications that it was re-made at least four times to save the expensive fabric while keeping up with style trends.
It would seem that "re-purposing" an item has been around quite a while...Would you be up to using 100-year-old brown silk damask?

Gilbert Muniz is know for creating "over the top" garments. This time, he was inspired by a movie, "Walk on the Wild Side," and the description of one of its characters. His garment, "Rumors," reflects the idea that sometimes rumors are blown out of proportion. In this case, you might ponder the proportions of the dress.
This outfit was part of an exhibit of his clothing at Houston 2017.

Soon...it is being photographed by Gregory Case and we should be able to premiere it within 2 weeks. I will tell you who designed it...
When we saw the new piecing work that Becky was doing, we knew she could combine it into a quilt that has both appliqué and piecing. Not only is there both appliqué and piecing BUT there are 2 different kits. There is a Sizzle kit and a Cool Kit. This kit will be very popular like the Edyta kit this year. So we don't run out so fast, this year we will be having pre-orders right away so we can reorder before the fabrics quit being printed.
We have just a few of the 2017 Block of the Month and the 2018 Block of the Month. They are already on Super Special, but we will include the Halo Medallion Thread Kit worth $49 retail with the Halo kit or the Crystal Farm Thread Kit with Edyta's Crystal Farm Kit . Sue Garman's Halo Medallion has already won a State Fair and the Edyta Crystal Farm has won hearts everywhere. When they are gone...they are gone... Don't worry about choosing the thread. We will include it in every kit until they are gone. (Remember you need to be a Star member to get the free patterns.)
$289/ $199 + $29 Thread Kit FREE
$287 / $178.50 + $49 Thread Kit FREE (colors chosen by Angela Walters).

A machine quilter beyond compare, Jenny K. Lyon has created a quilt that just shimmers with the essence of fall. Golden Moments was Jenny's first quilt to land in the Houston Quilt Festival back in 2010 and it's not hard to see why it was selected for exhibit. The machine quilting is stunning. Take a few minutes to let your eyes wander over the quilt.
Watch Jenny in Show 2404.
Jenny used Radiance fabric (a blend of silk and cotton) to give shimmer to her quilt. Click here for some of her tips with working with the fabric.

Instead of the Barn, Barbara made a scrappy Sawtooth Star Block for the center of her quilt using leftover fabric from her blocks. She walks you through the creation of the block step by step on her blog.
