Carol's quilt "Simulated Flight" (67"x 84") charmed us a Spring Paducah 2018. She uses techniques such as Applipiecing, Hand Appliqué, Machine Appliqué, Free-Motion Quilting, Paper Piecing, Machine Piecing, and Piped Edging. Her design source is "Soaring Compliments" by Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry and you can get a FREE tutorial from Caryl on the technique.

To get the free tutorial click here.

So, enjoy the quilt (take a look at the color gradations in the piped edging) and get going on learning the technique for yourself.

Now that Caryl Bryer Fallert has retired from teaching, she is offering her class, Soaring Compliments, at no charge.

Caryl writes,

"I made Soaring Compliments in 2003 as a teaching tool to illustrate many of the techniques I use in making my own art quilts. It was accompanied by a digital workshop on CD for PC computers, which I used in my own workshops and sold to quilt shops and vendors in many different countries. In 2014, I retired from retail and from teaching. We are now offering this workshop, free of charge, in PDF form so it can be viewed on both PC and MAC computers."

 

 
If you have questions or concerns regarding the pattern, you can contact Caryl here.

Caryl has won again, this time at Spring Paducah 2018. Her quilt "Celebration #2" (64" x 84") won 3rd Place in the Large Quilts - Stationary Machine Quilted category. This quilt brings all the color, movement, passion and technique she is known for. She used Applipiecing, Hand Dyeing, Free-Motion Quilting, Fabric Painting, and Machine Piecing techniques in this quilt.

Take a look.

Looking to kill some time and trying to avoid bad weather, a TQS member decided to visit the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio. Imagine her surprise when a fascinating exhibit entitled, Wow Factor: 150 Years of Collecting Bold Clothes, just happened to be on display. And, what should be part of that exhibit, but Audrey Hepburn's Wedding Dress...she was married in Switzerland, what was it doing in Cleveland?
