Trailer 3803: Two-Sided Quilting and Thread Painting - Judith Phelps | Fiber Artist - Sally Manke
Debuting February 1, 2026: On the next Quilt Show, Judith Phelps joins us and she makes quilts that are award-winning and breath-taking that make you stop and look. Judith says that many of her quilts were inspired from a line in a book she was reading, or, from a small group challenge. Since she loves to threadpaint, see how she sandwiches the quilt for quilting, and then, presto impresso, you suddenly have a two-sided quilt. Part of how Judith achieves her realism is she does thread-blending, and she's sharing with you her best tricks.
Plus, our TQS cameras caught up with Sally Manke as she was teaching in Paducah. Sally is a master storyteller in cloth, blending intricate stitching with deeply personal, thought-provoking narratives. Her work rewards close looking—every detail reveals intention, emotion, and extraordinary craftsmanship. See Sally working with her bicycle patterns with Dresden wheels. So much fun.
If you love dynamic and unforgettable quilts, you won't want to miss this show. From realistic to fanciful, meet two artists who keep going and growing. Grow with us at TheQuiltShow.com!
