At a taping in March 2010, Alex and Ricky visited The Quilt House. It is a 1500 sq ft house devoted entirely to quilting. It is owned by Jenny Mostek, who actually lives next door with her family. Aside from quilting there is another definite theme to the house which you'll probably detect. To learn more about Jenny and her quilting abode, watch Show 612: Nature's Journey with Gloria Loughman at Jenny's house.

Quilt studios come in all shapes and sizes.  Most quilters dream of a studio filled with light, space, and a host of cool tools.  Join us for a visit to three creative studios.  Our first visit is to the home/studio of David Taylor.  In an apartment that measures a total of 750 square feet, David keeps everything organized and to a minimum.  We then take you the stunning custom built studios of Madeleine and Jim Vail.  At 3,000 square feet any quilter would be in heaven.  All three studios are sure to provide you with lots of inspiration.
