Created as a beginner pattern for collage quilters, Emily's Clementine quilt really does just utilize the basics of collage quilting to depict a clementine fruit tree. Instead of emphasizing on how the image will turn out, it lets quilters focus on grouping similarly valued colored fabrics together to create the image. Once complete, the viewer's eyes will fill in the rest and a beautiful quilt is then seen.

Learn from Emily by watching Show 2712.

We continue our selection of quilts exhibited in 2019 at the Houston International Quilt Festival as part of their 45th Anniversary, the Sapphire Anniversary. The Sapphire Celebration exhibit is described as:

"Quilters have long used the color blue to symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Sapphire is also the chosen gem to celebrate 45th anniversaries—which International Quilt Festival is doing this year (2019)! These new and antique blue and white quilts will be suspended from the ceiling in a spectacular and unforgettable display."

To be a part of the exhibit, quilts had to fit the following criteria:

  • Entries may be Traditional, Modern or Art.
  • Entries must have been made between 1974 and 2019.
  • The minimum size is 50” x 50”

Please enjoy the forty-third quilt from the exhibition by Mary Proctor.

Title of Quilt: Mariner's Compass

Quilter's Name: Mary Proctor

Orlanda Miner took the TQS 2017 Block of the Month, The Halo Medallion quilt by Sue Garman, and made some changes to create her own spectacular Little Birds Medallion. Containing 3300 pieces, Orlanda's quilt was featured at PIQF 2019 and utilizes machine piecing and longarm machine quilting to great effect. You won't be able to take your eyes off the medallion, but can you spot the birds hiding throughout?

It's time to sew down the appliqué. Alex prefers to use the blanket stitch. But what's the difference between a double and single blanket stitch? Which choice and when?

Also, Alex does a surprise unboxing from Cindy Needham.

Join Alex LIVE on Wednesday December 9, 2020 @ 10am PST, 1pm EST, and 6pm London time. All classes are recorded so they can be viewed later.

Tracy Cox combined two of her "Quilty Pleasures" to make her quilt, "making sampler block quilts and fat quarter bundles." Sew She Did won Best Interpretation of Theme - Traditional at PIQF 2019 and was made from a sewing themed fabric pack in her stash. She created the blocks with some help from EQ8. Utilizing machine piecing and longarm machine quilting, it is a quilt you'll want to sample.

Sew She Did by Tracy Cox of Woodside, California won Best Interpretation of Theme - Traditional at the Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) 2019.
