We love the process Irene Roderick used to make her quilt, She's Lost Control Again. She calls it "dancing with the wall" because she literally danced back and forth between her cutting mat, her machine, and her design wall while she created.
She's Lost Control Again was featured in the Improvisation category, sponsored by Gotham Quilts, at QuiltCon 2020.

Quilt Maker and Pianist, Ricky Tims, and Leather Craftsman, Jonathon Long (keyboardist for Lady Antebellum), will be facing off with their original performances of a FOUR NOTES KEYBOARD CHALLENGE on Saturday, May 9, at 1PM Eastern, 10AM Pacific. They are each required to use the same four notes (Eb, G, Ab, and C), and compose an original composition.
Prior to the competition, Ricky and Jonathon engaged in a bit of smack talk. Check below the video for more information on where you can watch.

Alex is back LIVE (and recorded) with her quilting tutorial on How to Make the Sawtooth Star Block. It's good quilt class for everyone, but you can buy the PDF pattern and work along and have a beautiful quilted wall hanging at the end of your learning.

You can find evidence of quilting everywhere, not sure if you'd call this Star Wars Sashiko, but the influence is evident. This was found at a Pottery Barn Kids store a number of years ago.
You can learn more about Sashiko in Show 2610 with Anna Bates.

This is a very interesting block. What do you think it is called? Play the game and find out.

Jenny Haynes' Cones Quilt was quite a challenge when it came to piecing the large cone-shaped curves. We think she completed the challenge with exceptional skill.
Cones Quilt was featured as a MQG Quilt of the Month, sponsored by the Modern Quilt Guild, at QuiltCon 2020.

Alex begins the Sew Along teaching you how to make the House Quilt Block and the Snowball Quilt Block. You can just learn the techniques, or you can sew along and have a quilted wall hanging when you are finished.
If you want the PDF pattern, you can buy it and instantly download it here:
Alex will be LIVE on Monday May 4 at 10am PST, 1pm EST, and 6pm London Time. It's more fun LIVE, but all lessons are recorded for playback.

Baker Beach is based off of a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge taken by Valley Springs photographer John Slot. Sandra writes, “I hand-dyed most of the fabric – it’s all cotton – to try to look like the water, and the sky, and the rocks and the reflections,” she said. “It took about three months to make the piece, and then I quilted it. It won Best Pictorial at the Pacific International Quilt Festival last October (2019).”
Watch Sandra in Show 2609.
