Featured Quilt - First Place American Patchwork & Quilting Diamonds Quilting Challenge at QuiltCon 2026
Diamond Levitation by Andrea Barrett won First Place in the American Patchwork & Quilting Diamonds Quilting Challenge at QuiltCon 2026. Featuring exquisite machine piecing and longarm machine quilting, Andrea describes her work simply and succinctly as, "A stack of diamonds appears to float in the air channeling a flow of energy." We wouldn't expect anything less from a challenge where diamonds were intended to be the source of inspiration. |

See How Household Objects and More Can Elevate Your Quilt
Our second Surface Design Masterclass begins with Deborah Boschert sharing easy-to-do surface design techniques that transform commercial fabric into something more unique and unusual. She demonstrates three simple methods for adding originality to your quilt, including disguised or illegible handwriting on fabric; fabric printing using a toilet paper tube and fabric paint to create varied marks; and stenciling with metallic sequin waste combined with inexpensive craft store paint.
