The TQS gang visits The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, NM, to greet quiltmaker and author Brian Haggard, who has parlayed his love for traditional crazy quilts into a body of work that puts a contemporary spin on a familiar genre. After sharing some of his beautifully embellished pieces, Brian demonstrates an easy way to showcase a cherished photo as the centerpiece for a special memory block. He also shows his technique for creating three-dimensional flowers using die cuts, and Ricky jumps on the embellishment bandwagon with creative ideas for free-motion couching.

Captain John went to Grand Rapids, Michigan for the AQS show in 2012 and came back with images of Egypt. Here are the fabulous quilts of Jenny Bowker and her friends the Tentmakers of Cairo. Jenny is the curator of the Stitch Like an Egyptian Exhibit featuring the Tentmakers of Cairo. The applique work has to be seen to be believed and as you can see the prices in the last four years have doubled.
Would you like to own an applique of your very own? TQS is giving one away and you could win.

This wonderful quilt was created by Brian Haggard. Buttons are quite a passion with Brian and he's the current president of the Indianopolis Button Club. In this quilt however, he created the images of the buttons on this quilt by using his computer. He put the buttons face down on his scanner bed and arranged them with old scissors and needles cases. He then printed his "fabric." You can read more about it on Brian's blog.
You can watch Brian in Episode 1106: "Go Crazy" for (Contemporary) Crazy Quilts debuting on 9/10.

Rob wanted to let you in on what he's doing lately. One of his action items is a road tour of the Pacific Northwest and a stop at the Northwest Quilting Expo where he'll be teaching, but in the meantime he's sent us a video of his studio.
Just an FYI, the wonderful Laura Nownes will also be teaching at the Northwest Quilting Expo.
You can watch Rob in Episode 812: Protect our Planet...with Quilts where he talks about one of his most cherished quilting endeavors - the Endangered Species Quilt Project. Rob has teamed with Michael Miller fabrics to build awareness of our planet and her endangered species through quilting.
You can also discover how Rob's sewing machine became that color.
