Guest - Have you participated in a signature quilt project, where you sign a block and it goes into a quilt that is a gift to someone. Or maybe is raffled to raise funds? Well this is not a new concept! The great group of people at the American Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln Nebraska have come across signature quilts and they have done a bit of research on them. I'm happy to have Carolyn Ducey the Curator of Collections here to talk about signatures

Guest - Mark Cesarik is a new comer to the world of quilting, but he has jumped in big time with his fabric designs for Freespirit. What I love about Mark's designs is the graphics and color combinations he uses. Plus he has a ton of enthusasium for quilting, which is just one of the ways his art is used.. let's find out about how he designs fabric.

Guest - Jacquie Gering and Katie Pedersen (pronounced like Peterson) are modern quilters who did not start out in the world of traditional patchwork. Their work is different but similar enough to have inspired them to collaborate on their first book called "Quilting Modern". I love that both their styles inspire me to try this type of quilting and I'm thrilled to have them here on the show to talk quilts!

I made a siggie quilt for my friends 40th anniversary - I found the hardest part was trying to convince people not to write in the seam allowances! I made copies of all the signature blocks before I sewed them together and put all the pages into an album for the happy couple to read - upright and legible, in most cases!
...and also assembled and quilted a "Quilt for the Cure" quilt some years ago - again the problem of writing in the seam allowance... and the heavy application of charms, glue, paints, etc. mostly things that could not be quilted over nor pressed with an iron.
keep wondering how to prepare dozens of siggie blocks in a way that prevents the participants from signing into the seam allowances.

I have done several signature block swaps and a few gift quilts made with "siggies"...I need to find the time to finish putting some together resulting in finished quilts! (and I am glad my quilts cannot repeat things I've said while constructing them!)
