Popular author, designer, and 1998 Quilt Teacher of the Year nominee Jan Krentz joins Alex and Ricky at the Quilt in a Day Studio in San Marcos, CA, with a sampling of her striking work, including the stunning Star quilts for which she is best known. She also brings a ton of great info to help you "diagnose" and work with various types of striped fabrics to enhance your blocks and quilts. (You'll love her nifty tip for using gift wrap as an auditioning tool!)
Finally, we meet poet Margaret Chula and quilter Cathy Erickson, whose collaborative book, What Remains, was inspired by stories and photos of Japanese Americans in internment camps during the 1940s.

There were a numer of special exhibits at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show this year.
The 2nd Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show - Small Wonders Challenge is one of their community partnerships to benefit the kids of Sisters, Oregon. It’s a ‘little’ contest with six $100 prizes. All the quilts they received were considered for six prize categories. They'll sell all the quilts and donate a portion of the proceeds to their Parks & Recreation program to help kids attend summer programs.
Here are just a few of those quilts that were gently swaying in the wind during the day of the show.
If you belong to Facebook, you can see more of the quilts here.
