Leah Day walks you through her quilting studio. She shows you how she stores tools, supplies, and fabric for quilting.

Leah Day began free-motion quilting a decade ago, and has spent a lot of hours making it look easy. Her ease and fluidity did not come naturally, but she certainly makes it look as if she was born to quilt! Leah shares her journey from novice quilter to the stunning patterns she produces today. Her online teaching via her blog outlines how to get started with simple designs, how to move to more complicated patterns, and when to set aside a design that isn’t working. She discusses the process start to finish, from sketching ideas on paper to hiding threads at the end. Afterwards, Laura Gaskin demonstrates her amazing and intricate embroidery pieces, many of which are inspired by nature. Laura does all her embroidery by hand, then finishes many pieces with a fabric border.
Show 1712: Free-Motion Practice Makes Perfect debuts on Monday, December 7, 2015.

The background fabric in this quilt was dyed in the microwave. It was then dyed again in a different color, and some areas were overdyed and fused to the background. There are overlays of photos and old handwritten recipes on muslin and organza. Judy used a number of different painting tehcniques, including sponging with metallic Jacquard paint. It is quite beautiful to behold.

Alex and Ricky never use cue cards on the set of TQS, so sometimes it takes a few tries to get things right. Particularly when the ears don't cooperate. Here's a little bit of fun with our hosts.

Here's a cute pin cushion project by Sam Hunter from Hunter's Design Studio. It's a great place to put your used needles. And it's easy; any type of machine with a 1/4" foot is all you need.

TQS talked to Mark Lipinski in between takes on the set. He discusses his magazine, how he finds inspiration daily, and how he's "de-cluttered" his life in order to find that inspiration. Want to learn more about the Slow Stitching Movement? Click here.
(***The noise you hear in the background takes place becuase the interview was filmed on the set while technicians continued to work on the show.)
Star Members can watch Mark in Show 1813: Quilts of Valor and Intent.
