There was an interesting exhibition at the Houston International Quilt Festival this year. It was curated by A Way to Women's Wellness, a non-profit all-volunteer organization that supports women of today and future generations through donations given to a variety of women's health initiatives. This exhibition supports the sale of their annual ArtBra Calendar. Take a moment to read the truly inspiring stories behind these bras.

To purchase a calendar, click here, but hurry, they are almost sold out!

In March 2009, David Taylor was set to be a guest on the show.

Alex talked to David a day before the episode was taped and he showed her his quilt in progress. Alex instantly changed the taping from what was scheduled and asked David to reveal to the audience what he was working on, what techniques he was using, and how his colors and shadings were achieved. There is no painting on these quilts, just fabric selection.

After viewing the slideshow, make sure to watch David's Episode 406: Following the Artist's Process.
