Created during a weeklong workshop with Rosalie Dace (Show 711) and featuring all fused strips, no prints, Tara Faughnan's Strip Quilt is a fusible wonder that you can barely even tell is fused together. But by the time Tara came home after the workshop to put the quilt together, she had forgotten how to use the fusible and needed to relearn the process.

Learn from Tara by watching Show 2709.

This antique Sampler with Rings quilt from Ricky Tims' personal collection was the main inspiration for the Granny's 1930s Sampler quilt, otherwise known as the Lizzy Albright quilt. The quilt was purchased from antique quilt collector Julie Silber, and the many shapes and designs in the quilt influenced the depression era fabrics that Ricky helped to make for Benartex.
