I love dupioni silk, too, but have only had time to use it for wholecloths so far. And I've been collecting all of the other beautiful fabrics for a while, too, without time to play with them. I certainly have a lot more great ideas about how to tackle them now! Now it's just a matter of time....

It was a fun show. Like Ritzy, I have no fear of unusual fabrics, but the show gave me some interesting ideas. Jerry is fun and his music was really beautiful.

Having started my sewing life making garments--fear of the pretty fabrics has not been a concern. Of course, when I was first learning to use them there was a lot of trial and error and error and error. I like what he has done with the exotic fabrics and will have to put it on my list of (at the very least mug rug) quilts to make. Thanks for another great show.

This show was terrific. Jerry managed to take the fear out of working with "strange" fabrics. I have some silks and lames that I have bought to use in quilts but haven't yet done so. I will now! thanks, Jerry, and thanks TQS for bringing us such a fascinating guy!

Glad you liked the show - he has a very unusual approach and is fearless when it comes to fabrics! When we taped he had the intention to have a web site.......OOPPS! So please go follow him on facebook and on his blog - he is a really super nice guy.
