Out of Chaos

Featured in the newly named "Yvonne's Place" gallery at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, will be a group of stunning asymmetrical quilts by Linda Toeniskoetter. Out of Chaos showcases her novel approach to design and variation on traditional pieced blocks. These quirky geometric combinations of pattern create lively movement throughout the quilts, and the uneven edges are unusual, almost a bit unsettling. The quilts reflect a personal story of survival and show the power of artistic expression, innovation, and healing that results while creating a body of work. Behind the jewel-toned and dynamic chaos is a rich and intimate outpouring of unique work - "the building of a quilt lets me experience this process of creating balance as an example for the rest of my life," she says. Toeniskoetter's work has been shown nationally.

The TQS gang returns to The Charleston Tea Plantation for a visit with quilt artist, teacher, and author, Wendy Butler Berns, known for her amazing photo-based pictorial quilts. Wendy, recipient of the 2009 Jewel Pearce Patterson scholarship for quilting teachers, presents practical solutions for designing and implementing pieced borders, offers a wealth of tips for adding texture to a variety of quilt projects, and compares notes with Ricky about their simultaneous foray into quilting - with their respective dads!

Then we check in with contemporary folk artist and teacher Sue Spargo (Episode 810), who shares a sampling of her newest adventures in dimensional stitching.
