Ricky walks you through his "Quilts That Speak" exhibit, which was shown during AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2018. He talks about the evolution and history of many of his quilts, including his very first quilt and the last quilt he made with his father.

Laura has been loving the rain in Illinois for helping her flowers grow, but the rain has kept her inside. So, she has been working away indoors and has come up with a free stitch along. It's a great take along project that lets you polish up your embroidery skills. Not sure how to do a certain stitch? Laura shows you how.
This free-form embroidery design is stitched on silk fabric with size 8 and 12 pearl cotton threads and measures approx 6" x 9" when complete.

These kits are fast and easy, and all but the adult kits include everything you need to make a completed project (you supply a backing of your choice for the adult kits). They can be whipped together in just a few hours, and the finished product is very high quality.
Watch to get a first-hand idea of how easy they are to put together!
These are just a few of the kits that we have in stock:
Alex made this Patty Cakes Swaddle Gift Set (that includes a blanket, a swaddle cloth, and a lovey) in about three hours, and she had enough extra fabric to make a burp cloth.
The Bambino Cuddle Kit in Sugar & Spice comes with pre-cut strips, so it goes together in a flash!
The My Lambie Play Mat Kit makes a generously sized cuddly lamb that can be used as a play mat or just for snuggling.
The Little Pilot Wee One Cuddle Kit requires minimal cutting.

In our Quilt Roadies and Anna & G On The Road journeys, we are blessed to meet many quilters, travelers, quilt shop owners, and designers. Joyce Weeks of Geoff's Mom Pattern Co. is a stand out memory. (You can check out the video on Quilt Roadies from 2 years ago.) I have always been a fan of her designs which pull at the heart strings, memories, and dreams. Her designs also live in my someday pile! (I have decided to stop calling it a UFO pile...it is now my "Someday Pile"!) When I got a call that she would be visiting The Bee Hive, I was over the moon!!! Straightened up The Bee Hive...and, lucky for me, it was a regular stitch day for the Sew 'n So friends who could bring their stitching over for a little Stitch Bee. What a lovely day...a lot of conversation, a bit of stitching and a walk to The Stitchin' Post.Click here for Anna's YouTube Channel.

Every once in a while a "simple" traditional-style quilt just knocks our socks off. This is one of the quilts. Memories of Hailey, by Sharyl Schlieckau of Loganville, WI, uses repeated blocks on point and absolutely stunning quilting to fill the blank spaces.
Sharyl designed and pieced the quilt front when her dog, Hailey, was just a puppy. Hailey always stayed with Sharyl in her sewing room, including during the dog's last days before she died of cancer.
“She saw every stitch, because she was by me every day,” Schlieckau said.
The quilt was photographed at AQS QuiltWeek Spring Paducah 2018. Sharyl has competed at Paducah about ten times.

All requested tickets MUST be used. Please do not request tickets if you are not committed to attending. Seating is limited to 60 and we do not overbook the seating area, so unused tickets result in empty seats, which diminishes the energy of the show and denies someone else the opportunity to attend. If you have reserved tickets that result in a "no-show" or "partial-show," you will not be eligible for tickets to future show tapings. You do not need to be a member of TQS to attend.
Tickets will be distributed for only one day of attendance. Confirmation of tickets will be in the form of an e-mail document.
To make your request for free tickets, or to get further information about tickets and our ticket policies, e-mail lilo@thequiltshow.com Please note that your e-mail request for tickets should state the word TICKET in the subject line in order for it to be processed in the order it is received.

Some of the most visually stunning quilts are the result of combining traditional patterns with unique, artisan fabrics.
Our 2017 BOM Halo Medallion Quilt in Batiks is just such a quilt- a traditional pattern with the added twist of batiks in unique but absolutely luscious colors. This kit was assembled especially for us by Island Batiks after they saw the original Halo Medallion quilt and were so inspired by it that they wanted to create a version in their own traditionally made batik fabrics.
Island Batik fabrics are made in Bali, Indonesia using the traditional method of stamping of wax onto the fabric, dyeing, washing and drying. The fabric is left out in the rice fields, where good sunlight is essential to ensure strong color and color fastness. Island Batik employs 80 to 100 community members to transform the white base fabric into their lovely dyed fabrics, and then roll the fabric by hand onto recyclable cardboard bolts that are also made within the community.
We were able to get a few more 2017 Halo Medallion BOM kits!
Now is your chance to make this stunning quilt in artisan fabrics at a great price.
The last few have been discounted to $178.50 from $287 and have over 20 yards of fabric.
All the patterns are available for instant download.
Please note that a Star Membership to The Quilt Show is required to access the pattern downloads. The patterns are valued at $90 and a 1-Year Membership is just $49. Cool deal.
