Featured Quilt - Best Stationary Machine Workmanship Award at AQS QuiltWeek Daytona Beach 2026
Janet Stone's series of Alphabet quilts have garnered many awards over the years, and the last one in the series is no different. Blooming Blocks & One From the Flock, the 26th quilt in the series, won the Best Stationary Machine Workmanship Award at AQS QuiltWeek - Daytona Beach 2026, which wrapped up this past weekend.
Janet had this to say about the inspiration for the last quilt in her series. "This is Blooming Blocks & One From the Flock. Each block and flower name starts with a letter from the alphabet. (Imagine that!) I hand lettered the names of each in the scallops around the border. There is also one of each flower in the sheep cart. It is the LAST in my alphabet series! and dedicated to my darling late husband who was my #1 fan.”
Last year, Blooming Blocks & One From the Flock received Third Place in the Appliqué category (Sponsored by Road to California, Inc.) at Road to California 2025.

Mixing Prints with Tara Miller |

Putting Prints Together
Using a medallion quilt as her example, Tara Miller shows you how to break free from match-everything rules by learning to see the relationships between fabrics—making it easier to mix pieces from different designers, collections, and eras into a quilt that’s both unique and visually compelling. She then demonstrates how to create drama by letting the fabric lead the way, using repeated colors and shapes, blending large-scale florals with geometrics, and playing with scale.
