Quilting Arts TV
Coming Soon!

Have you heard? Quilting Arts Magazine and Cloth Paper Scissors Editor Patricia Bolton will soon begin taping episodes of a new PBS quilting show called, appropriately enough, "Quilting Arts TV." Patricia will host the show, which will debut near the end of this year. We're already busy designing the set, lining up guest quilt artists and designers, and obtaining sponsorships so we can bring artful ideas and inspiration right into your sewing room. Stay tuned for more details, here and on Patricia's blog.

This spring, make time to learn more about the Asian art of dye-resist or how to use a sketchbook to develop ideas, record observations, and document experiments while at the same time creating a sketchbook that is a work of art in itself. These new, beautiful books will help you.

book Tips and Tricks for Bonding
  • Fuse a thin layer of Angelina fibers together between sheets of baking parchment to make a sheet of sheer "fabric."
  • Sandwich Angelina fibers in between layers of Textiva film and heat-bond them between parchment layers with an iron. Cut into shapes and stitch to fabric to make pockets or surface design.
  • For raw-edge, fused appliqué, remember that tightly woven fabrics, such as batiks, hold up best.
  • Misty-fuse black, fused to a sheer fabric, can create shading in your fused appliqué design.
