Featured Quilt - First Place Piecing at QuiltCon 2026
Elemental by Patti Coppock Bucklin, with additional quilting by Ann Olson, won First Place - Piecing (Sponsored by Aurifil) at QuiltCon 2026. Patti says about her creative process, "During times of stress, I construct elements for future quilts. Creative ideas begin to swirl in my head till I am happy with a direction. It took 7 months to make this quilt, working in small increments of time. I bought a bolt of the background fabric in order to have enough...but barely made it. Whew! I sometimes joked that the name of the quilt was going to be Elemental, with an emphasis on mental!" |

Making an Image Using Non-Woven Material with Betty Busby |
|
|
|
|
|
Transform One Material Into Something Completely Unique For Your Next Project
Betty Busby explains why she loves working with non-woven interfacing in our new Surface Design Masterclass. She says it's easy to cut and resistant to burning or raveling, unlike organic fibers. Betty discusses the tools needed—including a smooth, heat-proof surface, a soldering tool, paints, and other supplies—before showing Ricky how to cut circles into pre-painted non-woven interfacing using a soldering tool. The resulting “Swiss cheese” interfacing can then be transferred onto another background for machine appliqué.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: An Exuberant and Effervescent Quilt |

"Effervescence" by Paula Doyle
It was great fun on the set of The Quilt Show when Paula Doyle was able to meet Amelia Caruso, the designer of the "Effervescence" fabric that she used in her quilt of the same name. Amelia's fabric makes for a stunning quilt, and Paula's Effervescence certainly lives up to that stunning descriptor.
