Are you a fan of Project Runway? Then you'll want to watch Episode 508: Paula at the American Folk Art Museum.  At the end of the episode, featuring Paula's exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum, she takes TQS on a tour of the NY Garment District, including a trip to Mood Fabrics.  It's a tour that includes all the fabric and embellishments any quilter would love.

Alex and Ricky talk about the AccuQuilt Studio Fabric Cutter, a great machine for a shop owner or professional quilter.

Ricky shows you how simple it is to cut up to 40 shapes at once.

They also show you a hexagon die that allows you to see your fabric so that you can fussy cut your shape.

Since we didn't have a puzzle in the Weekend Fun over International Quilting Weekend, we are going to give you an extra puzzle this week.  

Here it is, Fairy Journal, by Lauren Vlcek.  It is a small art quilt that Lauren adapted from a Patti Culea pattern. It measures 12" x 17."  It was machine appliqued and quilted and embellished with beads, charms and crystals.

To learn more about embellishment, visit Lauren's class Fabric Fancification or watch her show, Episode 1206: The magical World of Mixed Media
