Have you ever been inspired by wildlife to create a quilt? Here is an exciting chance encounter with a troop of wild mountain gorillas near Bwindi National Park, Uganda where one of the men in the camp unintentionally becomes a member of the gorilla family.

This family of gorillas looks amazingly like Nancy Brown's quilt, Gorilla, Gorilla. Nancy is an award-winning quilter who creates wonderful designs with animals, and even some with people. Check and see if you've seen Show 701: Animal Magnetism to learn how they are created and how she was inspired.

Artists for generations have lived in Santa Fe for the climate, artistic freedom, as well as the light.  Sometimes as a quilter we can get into a rut when it comes to color combinations.  Join us for a slide show that just may give you some new inspiration.

We all know how wonderful it is to be driving along a country highway and then spotting a barn quilt painted on a wall, but have you ever wanted one for your own home?  We ran across this company at Road to California, www.classicmetalcompany.com, that manufacturers metal "Barn Quilt" blocks.  You can put them in your home or on your home.

Standard block sizes are 12" x 12" and 24" x 24," but you can have them create a custom design up to 8-feet square (just have your barn ready). 

If you'd like to take a look at some real Barn Quilts,  click on the slideshow.
