Featured Quilt - Second Place Windham Artisan Cottons Fabric Challenge at QuiltCon 2026
Fray It Ain't So by Nora Bauser won Second Place in the Windham Artisan Cottons Fabric Challenge (Sponsored by Windham Fabrics) at QuiltCon 2026. Nora says of how she created her work, "This quilt plays with the unique beauty of shot cotton, where two different thread colors are interwoven to create a third, shifting hue. 2" fabric circles were frayed down to a 1" square at its center, revealing the full spectrum of each fabric. Playing with which fabric color was in the background the effect is one of overlapping diamonds."

WeAllSew Tutorial: Fabric Easter Basket |
|
|
|
|
|
"Hippity-Hoppity, Easter's On Its Way"
Melissa Mortenson of the Polka Dot Chair Blog came up with the idea of making small Easter baskets out of fabric so she could take them with her when she traveled on Spring Break. These small fabric baskets would be great for “little hands” on Easter morning this Sunday. Since they are made of fabric they are also very “packable”. You can send them to friends or family far across the country! |

The Quilt Show Puzzle: It's Time for Fun with Fungi |
|
|
|
|
|
"Crescendo" by Betty Busby
Betty loves fungi, and if you look at the underside of fungi and see the ribs radiating out of the gills, that is where the basis for the design of Crescendo came from. And if you start to look at different mycological pictures you'll see that they come in all kinds of colors and shapes like the ones on Betty's quilt. It has couched cording to represent the radiating ribs and hand beading for the spores.
Learn about Surface Application from Betty, and our other Surface Design Masters, in our second Surface Design Masterclass, Using Surface Applications | Surface Design Masterclass 2. |
