Featured Quilt - Blooming Flower Of Happiness


We love the exuberant beauty of Liu-Chi Yung-Yun's quilt, Blooming Flower of Happiness which was in the In Full Bloom exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2025. It also took us a few minutes to figure out how it was made. Take a look at the detail photo and you can decide.

Thank You Carolyn


Designer Carolyn Schnurer believed that the story of a garment was woven directly into its threads. She made the textiles just as important as the design of the clothes. Of course, we always knew.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Hexie Beauty from Becky Goldsmith

"Hexie Garden Quilt" by Becky Goldsmith


Becky made the Hexie Garden Quilt because she was tired of appliquéing on squares and triangles. Each hexagon block consists of six triangles with every triangle housing a different flower type, creating nine hexagons with nine different flowers growing throughout. As usual with Becky, she wanted to create the quilt to keep her quilting life creative, fresh, and different.
