Featured Quilt - "Happy Thanksgiving" by Aki Sakai
Aki's quilt, Happy Thanksgiving, is part of the National Quilt Museum's Collection in Paducah. It took her one and a half years to make. She designed it in sections, finishing one entirely before starting the next, and so the quilt was "always a mystery" for her as she progressed.
While the quilt mostly celebrates the holiday of Thanksgiving, Aki lived in Ohio for two years, it also includes a number of references to Japanese culture including the folk tale of "Momotarō," a boy born from a peach, who can be seen near the bottom left corner of the quilt.

Baker's Back In Action
Alex and Ricky catch up with Marci Baker, who shares how—even while caring for family—she kept inventing tools and techniques to make quilting easier. In addition to viewing her quilts during Show and Tell, we learn how she co-authored a 3-D quilting book which led to her Value Tool and later an improved book on binding. With her engineering mindset, she’s always asking, “How can I solve this problem?”
Learn from Marci, and Lorelai Kuecker, and by watching Discover the Value of Fabric and Troubleshooting Bindings with Marci Baker | Quilted Bell Bottoms with Lorelai Kuecker. |

Take a Look at the BERNINA Cordonnet Foot #11
This foot is ideally suited for topstitching and decorative work with cordonnet thread or other thicker topstitching threads. The 2 mm-deep groove under its sole allows Cordonnet Foot #11 to glide smoothly even over thicker threads, as well as ensuring even fabric feed at all times. It also enables smooth, precise sewing of sashiko patterns and other decorative designs.
You can use the foot to decorate some pretty cool looking jeans, and the best part is that the foot is on sale now as BERNINA's accessory of the month.
TIP: When sewing with Cordonnet Foot #11, use a needle with a sufficiently large eye and normal bobbin thread, and adjust the thread tension where necessary.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: "Crimson" Creativity |

"Crimson Promises" by Sharon Schamber
Crimson Promises is Sharon's favorite quilt. It is a duplicate of a quilt that went into The National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky. The one in Paducah is purple, but since Sharon loves red so much she had to make hers in red. It has won many awards, including the Maywood Studio Master Award for Innovative Artistry at Houston 2011, but what Sharon was honored by was that it won a Viewer's Choice in Houston at the same time it won the other award, which doesn't happen that often.
