Ricky was captivated by this story of quilts that saved the lives of seven men as they struggled to get flour and food for their starving town. The second video shows a re-enactment of the event.

When we saw this quilt at QuiltCon 2019, we immediately thought of mosaic quilter Heidi Proffetty. While Heidi's first passion might be quilting, her other passion is beekeeping. As you know, bees play an important role in nature, but through history, they have also played an important role in providing community spirit and support. A bee from Manchester by Anne Marie Miro was her way of showing support for the Manchester community after the 2017 terrorist attack.

TQS brings you the story of the amazing and inspirational Nola Emerie, who—after suffering a massive stroke at age 52 that paralyzed the right side of her body—decided to take up quilting. Nola lets nothing stand in her way (including her pants?) when it comes to making beautiful quilts.
Nola's story is part of Show 1506: Two Amazing Women and the Power of Quilting, which also features Lisa Sipes. In 2008, during a dark period in her life, artist Lisa Sipes was encouraged by her mom to give quilting a try—and a passionate new quilter was born. Now a well-regarded professional longarm artist who loves detailed work, Lisa shares fun ways to add visual and textural interest to a wholecloth quilt with a variety of stitches and colored threads. She also shows how she creates her signature "triple stitch" and alternative ways to finish the edges of your quilt.

G and I love our adventures on the road...not only is our country amazing, but the quilters in it are awesome. The wonderful part about the art of quilting is the wide variety in which one can create. Contemporary, Vintage, Primitive, or Modern...there truly is something for everyone and I love it all. When we visit a guild or class, I love listening to the banter of quilting opinions because we as quilters truly have lots of choices and opinions.
Landing back at home base is a blessing! I get to see my quilting peeps and what they have been up to. The Fabric Stalkers have been quilting together since the mid 90s and we are representative of the greater quilting community...a wide range of quilting love. I hope you enjoy the little slide show I put together of our show n' tell when we gathered to stitch together for the first time in 2019.

Claudia Pfeil recently visited the TQS set to tape a future show. While you might know her from her magnificent large quilts (think Fractal or Turtle Bay), she brought along this amazing, little, thread-painted piece. My Little Seahorse measures only 13.5" x 19.5" and is truly a machine quilting masterpiece.
Here is My Little Seahorse by Claudia Pfeil.
