Quilting Arts

Honoring The Traditional

This episode honors traditional, time-tested designs and techniques. First Nanette Zeller demonstrates thread painted, cut-out applique. Next, Vivika Hansen DeNegre talks about a charity project: Heart of the Home House Quilts, an opportunity for quilt designers to "give back" by creating small quilts for families transitioning out of homelessness. Finally, Cheryl Sleboda demonstrates ruching with her heirloom sewing technique to make flowers and other art quilt embellishments.
