[synthesized jingle] [upbeat acoustic guitar music] ♪ ♪ >> WELCOME BACK TO LAP QUILTING.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF OUR VEST STUDY.

WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO WORK ON VESTS THAT INCORPORATE BLOCKS ON THE BACK AND THE FRONT, CRAZY PATCH, STRING QUILTING, AND OUR STENCIL DESIGN.

AND NOW WE'RE GONNA TOUCH ON SEMINOLE AND A COUPLE OTHER IDEAS ALSO.

WE HAD SEEN CHERYL BRADKIN'S BOOK EARLIER AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE SOME OF THE MARVELOUS THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE.

I WANTED TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT CAN BE WORKED INTO VESTS ALSO.

IN THIS CASE, IT'S JUST A PATCHWORK VEST.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN HIGHLIGHT, IN THIS CASE, JUST THE SIDE AND THE UNDERNEATH ARM PORTION OF THE VEST AND NOT PUT ANY BATTING IN IT.

AND IT MAKES IT REALLY AN ALL-SEASONABLE VEST.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON ON THE BLACK ONE.

CHERYL HAS BEEN NICE ENOUGH TO SEND ME A SKI JACKET, A DOWN JACKET, AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO ACCENT YOUR SEMINOLE.

SHE'S CHOSEN A PATTERN THAT I THINK IS HIGHLIGHTED WHEN IT COMES TOGETHER AT THE CENTER.

CERTAIN OF HER PATTERNS LOOK BETTER WHEN THEY'RE PUT TOGETHER IN THAT FASHION.

I THINK THAT'S VERY NICE.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT EVEN DECORATING YOUR TOWELS IN YOUR HOUSE.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO DECORATE WITH SEMINOLE.

IT GOES VERY NICELY.

I EVEN TOOK THAT SAME IDEA AND PUT IT INTO SOME SUSPENDERS.

SO THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF WAY THAT YOU CAN WORK WITH SEMINOLE.

I AM ALSO GOING TO USE THIS ON ANOTHER JACKET IDEA.

THE CONCEPT BEHIND THIS JACKET IS THAT YOU CUT OUT THE LINING.

NOW, THIS HAPPENS TO BE THE BACK AND THEN THE TWO FRONTS.

AND THIS WILL BE THE PERMANENT LINING OF YOUR JACKET.

THEN THE BATTING IS CUT OUT-- THIS WILL, OF COURSE, BE FOR WARMTH.

THE BATTING IS CUT OUT AND BASTED TO YOUR LINING.

THEN ALL THE DECORATION-- AND IN THIS CASE, THE SEMINOLE AND MAYBE OTHER FORMS OF STRING QUILTING AND MAYBE EVEN SOME PATCHWORK-- WILL BE PLACED ON THIS.

AND THEN MY BANDS WILL BE CUT OUT AND SEWN AND FLIPPED SO THAT THE MACHINE SEWING, THAT IS THE BOBBIN THREAD, WILL BE RIGHT ON THE LINING OF THE JACKET.

SO IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT HAS PRETTY MUCH OF A DESIGN BACK HERE, AND YOU WON'T SEE MUCH OF YOUR MACHINE WORK.

BUT THE NICE THING IS THAT YOU'RE REALLY MAKING THE WHOLE JACKET AT ONE TIME.

AND THEN THE IDEA ALSO IS THAT WHEN YOUR JACKET IS COMPLETE AND YOU HAVE ALL YOUR DECORATION ON THE SLEEVES AND THE SIDE PANEL, IT SIMPLY SEWS TOGETHER LIKE THIS.

ONE FELL SWOOP ALL THE WAY OVER, AND YOU'LL BE COMPLETELY DONE.

NOW, YOU CAN COVER THOSE RAW EDGES WITH SOME GROSGRAIN RIBBON OR SPECIAL BINDING OR SEAM TAPE IN EITHER THE SAME COLOR OR A DIFFERENT COLOR.

IT COULD BE ON THE OUTSIDE, OR IT COULD BE IN THE INSIDE.

I WANT TO SEW JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SEMINOLE TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS.

YOU WANT TO REMEMBER THAT IN THIS CASE OF THIS PARTICULAR ONE, IT WOULD MEAN SEWING THREE COLORS TOGETHER.

THESE ARE VERY, VERY CLOSE IN COLOR, SO IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE, BUT I HAVE A WHITE AND THEN KIND OF A BEIGE THAT HAS TEXTURE AND THEN A MUSLIN ONE.

SO LONG BANDS ARE SEWN TOGETHER.

THEN THEY'RE CUT APART, AND OF COURSE, WHAT DETERMINES YOUR DESIGN IS HOW WIDE YOU CUT THOSE APART.

THEN YOU RESEW THEM TOGETHER, BUT WHEN YOU RESEW THEM, YOU USUALLY SHIFT DOWN ANOTHER SEAM.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, INSTEAD OF RESEWING IT THERE, YOU CAN COME DOWN TO THERE.

AND PINNING AND JUST KIND OF GETTING YOUR LITTLE FACTORY SYSTEM SET UP IS ONE OF THE SECRETS IN DOING SEMINOLE.

I'M GOING TO JUST SEW ONE OF THEM, AND YOU CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF HOW THIS WORKS.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO KIND OF WATCH YOUR SEAMS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

AND OF COURSE, I'VE KIND OF GONE AHEAD AND GOTTEN A LOT OF THIS DONE, BUT IT DOES GIVE YOU MORE OR LESS THE IDEA OF HOW IT WORKS.

THAT WOULD BE MY CONNECTION WAS MADE RIGHT THERE.

AND THEN LONG PIECES OF MATERIAL ON THE STRAIGHT OF THE GRAIN ARE CUT AND THEN WOULD BE SEWN TO THIS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE GONNA LOSE A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR TRIANGLE RIGHT THERE.

NOW, I HAVE A COUPLE OTHER IDEAS THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU, AND I SHOWED MY STUDENTS THIS VEST THE OTHER DAY, AND THEY JUST EXCLAIMED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE I HAD USED MACHINE ZIGZAGGING, BECAUSE NORMALLY WHEN I WORK WITH APPLIQUE, I ALWAYS TURN UNDER THE RAW EDGES.

BUT I THINK THAT THERE IS A LOT OF ROOM FOR EXPERIMENTING WHEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH A ZIGZAG, AND ESPECIALLY IF YOUR MACHINE DOES DECORATIVE STITCHES.

IT'S A GOOD WAY TO LEARN ABOUT THEM AND TO JUST CHANGE AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I HAD THE DESIRE TO DO THIS, MY BALTIMORE ROW HOUSES, OR YOU COULD CALL IT CHARLESTON ROW HOUSES, AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR FOUNDATION CUT OUT, SITTING DOWN WITH YOUR CHOICE OF FABRICS AND START CUTTING DIFFERENT SHAPES OF HOUSES.

AND OF COURSE, THE ROOF LINES ARE FUN TO VARY ALSO.

AND THEN SIMPLY MACHINE APPLIQUE RIGHT ON THAT.

NOW, I HAVE A GOOD NEWS AND A BAD NEWS STORY WHICH IS KIND OF FUN.

DONNA GREEN, A FRIEND, BROUGHT OVER THIS LOVELY DOWN JACKET THAT ONE OF HER DAUGHTERS HAD PURCHASED, AND SHE ONLY HAD WORN IT ONE SEASON WHEN THE BAD NEWS HAPPENED.

THE BAD NEWS WAS THAT SHE SPILLED A HUGE AMOUNT OF OIL RIGHT ON THE BACK OF IT FROM A SKI LIFT.

AND OF COURSE, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT FELL RIGHT IN THE CENTER.

SO WE DECIDED THAT POSSIBLY, WE COULD SAVE THIS JACKET BY PUTTING A PATCHWORK BLOCK ON IT.

SO I GOT OUT MY PAPER AND MEASURED AND DESIGNED A BLOCK JUST THIS SIZE ON THE SHAPE OF A BASKET WITH THE SAME COLORS OF BROWN INSIDE THE JACKET AND WENT AHEAD AND PIECED THIS TOGETHER.

NOW, THERE'S JUST A HINT-- I WANT TO REMIND YOU ABOUT WHENEVER YOU HAVE A RIGHT ANGLE TO PIECE HERE, REMEMBER THAT YOU WOULD START AT THE OUTSIDE EDGE AND MACHINE STITCH DOWN TO JUST THAT SEAM, STOP, AND BACKSTITCH.

TAKE IT OFF THE MACHINE AND THEN TURN IT AGAIN TO FINISH.

SO THAT AT THIS CONNECTION RIGHT HERE, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE TAB THAT'S GONNA BE EXTRA.

BUT WHEN THAT'S FINISHED, I'LL PRESS IT AND THEN PUT SOME BROWN SEAM TAPE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE OUTSIDE AND THEN, PROBABLY BY HAND, SLIP-STITCH IN THE DITCH TO CONNECT THIS TO THE DOWN JACKET.

AND I HOPE SHE'LL HAVE MANY MORE TIMES TO USE HER SKI JACKET.

WE'VE ENJOYED BEING WITH YOU TODAY, AND LUCKILY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE A TRIP TO WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND VISIT A QUILT SHOW.

WELCOME TO WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

THERE ARE QUILT CONVENTIONS AND SYMPOSIUMS WHERE THE LATEST CONTEMPORARY QUILTS ARE DISPLAYED.

THERE ARE DISPLAYS AT MUSEUMS IN LARGE CITIES.

THERE ARE CONTESTS, FOR INSTANCE, THAT WE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THAT BALTIMORE CONDUCTED, AND THEN THERE IS THE SMALL, HOMETOWN VARIETY THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE TODAY.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DOUBLE TREAT, IN THAT THE HOSTESSES FOR OUR QUILT SHOW WILL BE MY ORIGINAL VEST CLASS, AND OF COURSE, THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE FIRST INVESTMENT.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE TWO VESTS THAT WE WERE WORKING ON ON THE SET.

AND WE HAVE SOME LITTLE PEOPLE HERE TODAY.

WHO DO WE HAVE HERE?

>> AMY.

>> AMY?

WILSON?

>> WIL-- >> AMY WILSON AND WHO IS THIS?

HER SISTER?

>> LIZABETH.

>> ELIZABETH.

WE'RE SO GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US.

STAND UP AND SHOW OFF THOSE VESTS.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BASKETS ON THE BACK OF THOSE VESTS?

TURN AROUND.

>> REMEMBER, I ALREADY SAW MINE AT THE MIRROR.

>> OH, YES, VERY GOOD.

YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT AT THE MIRROR.

ALL RIGHT, TURN AROUND AND LET'S SEE THE FRONT PART.

NOW, OPEN UP THE VEST, AMY.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN SEE THE FLOWER INSIDE?

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING'S QUILTED.

LET'S SEE THE FRONT OF YOURS, ELIZABETH.

ELIZABETH HAS SOME STRING QUILTING ON THE FRONT, AND OF COURSE, WHEN SHE OPENS UP, YOU JUST GET STRAIGHT LINES, DON'T YOU?

WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU-- WE HAD A--I HAD A GOOD BREAK THE OTHER DAY.

THE GIRLS CAME FOR A FITTING, AND ELIZABETH WALKED RIGHT IN AND SAID, "THIS IS MINE."

SHE WENT TO THE MAROON VEST, SO WE WERE REAL LUCKY YOU LIKED THAT ONE.

HAVE A SEAT AGAIN.

AND I WANT TO SHOW OFF MARILYN'S VEST.

THIS IS THE MOON OVER THE MOUNTAIN.

AND I LIKE THE WAY YOU'VE DONE IT, MARILYN, BECAUSE SHE ALSO HAS ADDED THE STRING QUILTING THAT GIVES MORE OR LESS THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RAYS OF EITHER FROM THE SUN OR THE MOON.

SO THAT LOOKS VERY NICE.

LET'S GO NOW AND HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE THE QUILT SHOW.

>> THE BORDER IS WONDERFUL.

>> I LOVE THE BORDER.

IT'S ACTUALLY TWO DIFFERENT PATTERNS.

LIKE, A CLAMSHELL AND THEN THIS SHAPE, BUT IT PICKS UP THIS SHAPE IN HERE.

IT REALLY IS A MARVELOUS QUILT, A LOT OF IMAGINATION IN THERE.

>> I KEEP THINKING THERE'S GONNA BE A DESIGN ON THE REVERSE SIDE ON THIS, BUT IT'S THE SAME.

IT'S ALL WHITE ON WHITE.

IT REALLY IS FANTASTIC.

>> THAT'S BLINDING IN ITSELF.

>> I KNOW IT IS.

I KNOW IT IS.

NICE THING ABOUT THIS: IT'LL GO IN ANY ROOM ANYWHERE, WON'T IT?

YOU WON'T HAVE TO COORDINATE THIS WITH ANYTHING.

[indistinct speech] JOAN FLANAGAN IS HERE TODAY IN ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE VESTS.

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THIS, JOAN?

IS THAT-- >> CRAZY PATCH.

>> CRAZY PATCH.

JOAN HAS BEEN STUDYING WITH ME FOR A LONG TIME, AND I'VE ALWAYS ADMIRED HER COLOR COMBINATION AND THE WAY SHE WORKS WITH FABRICS.

AND I THINK IT'S HIGHLIGHTED HERE JUST LOVELY.

TURN AROUND SO WE CAN GET THE FULL VIEW OF THAT, WE CAN SEE THE BACK.

VERY NICE.

VERY NICE.

REALLY, NOW, HERE WE'VE GOT SOME UNUSUAL-- AND I LIKE YOUR DARK ACCENTS.

THAT REALLY BRINGS OUT THE WHOLE CRAZY PATCH.

YOU HAVE PUT THE EMBROIDERY STITCHES ON ALL THE SEAM CONNECTIONS.

DO YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR FAVORITE THAT YOU WORK WITH MORE THAN ONE?

>> THE FEATHER STITCH.

>> IT HAS A LOT OF VARIETY.

I THINK YOU CAN DO THREE STITCHES ON ONE AND THEN THREE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

AND YOU'VE EVEN--WHAT IS THAT?

SOME FRENCH KNOTS?

>> FRENCH KNOTS IN THERE.

>> VERY NICE.

YOU'RE ALL SET FOR FALL IN YOUR BROWN COLORS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> NOW WE HAVE KATHY WILLIS, IS A BREAK FROM VESTS, HAS GONE TO THE SKIRT IDEA.

I THINK THIS IS JUST MARVELOUS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> IT'S SYMMETRICAL, BUT IT'S ASYMMETRICAL.

TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT.

I WANT TO KNOW A FULL EXPLANATION THERE.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, IT'S BASICALLY, JUST PUTTING TOGETHER RECTANGLES OF DIFFERENT SIZES.

IT IS ALL MACHINE PIECED.

AND THEN TO MAKE THE SEAMS MORE SECURE, I HAVE GONE BACK AND TOPSTITCHED EACH ONE.

>> I LIKE THAT.

IT IS VERY NICE.

AND I HAD A LITTLE SNEAK UNDERNEATH, AND I KNOW THAT YOU LINED IT COMPLETELY, WHICH WILL MAKE IT SO NICE.

TURN AROUND SO WE CAN SEE THE WHOLE BACK.

AND, OH, I REALLY LIKE-- AND HERE'S A LITTLE NINE-PATCH IN ONE CORNER.

IT'S VERY NICE, KATHY.

I REALLY ENJOY THAT.

AND BOTH OF YOU ADMIRED THIS LOVELY QUILT WITH ME.

FRAN NEWTON HAS DONE THIS.

HER HUSBAND IS A PILOT, AND I THINK THAT SHE HAS REALLY DONE A MARVELOUS KEEPSAKE.

IN EACH ONE OF THE SQUARES, SHE HAS PUT ANOTHER VARIATION OF AN AIRPLANE OR SOMETHING GEARED TO FLIGHT.

AND I THINK IT'S JUST A VERY NICE KEEPSAKE IDEA FOR HER HUSBAND.

AND, GLORIA, GOOD TO SEE YOU TODAY.

YOU'VE GOT ON STRING-- >> I HAVE A STRING QUILTING.

>> AND TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE COMBINED THERE.

>> WELL, I HAVE VELVET AND THE LACE AND CALICOS COMBINED.

VERY GOOD, AND EVEN A LARGER PRINT WHICH I THINK-- >> YES, I THINK IT GOES WELL WITH IT.

>> IT KIND OF SCALES IT UP.

WHAT, DID YOU PUT THAT OVER ON THE BACK?

>> YES, IT'S ON THE BACK TOO.

>> VERY GOOD.

AND MORE LACE.

AND THIS TIME IT GOES-- >> UP THE OTHER DIRECTION, YES, FOR VARIETY.

>> AND THIS TOUCH OF MAROON, IT REALLY JUST TOUCHES IT OFF SO NICELY.

WE HAVE SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU'RE VERY FOND OF RIGHT CLOSE BY.

DESCRIBE THIS NOW.

>> THIS IS A QUILT THAT I MADE.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DESIGNS, THE GRANDMOTHER FAN PATTERN.

AND SO I MADE IT AN OVERALL PATTERN.

AND EACH SQUARE, I DID JUST CHANGE THE LACE THOUGH DESIGN IN EACH ONE.

BUT IT'S OVERALL PATTERN.

>> IS IT A DOUBLE SIZE?

>> YES, IT IS.

YES, YEAH.

>> A DOUBLE, AND IT'S BEEN LAP QUILTED.

>> OH, YES.

>> OH, IT'S JUST LOVELY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING IT TO US.

JEANETTE, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TODAY.

>> NICE TO BE HERE TODAY.

>> AND JEANETTE'S A VERY SPECIAL PERSON HERE, BECAUSE SHE WAS ONE OF THE INSTIGATORS OF PUTTING THE WHOLE SHOW TOGETHER.

SO WE REALLY, IT'S A REAL PRIVILEGE TO HAVE YOU HERE TODAY.

AND THIS VEST, I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUAL COLOR COMBINATIONS.

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN EXACTLY?

>> WELL, AS I TOLD YOU, IT WAS PURELY ACCIDENTAL.

>> ACCIDENTAL.

NOW, I KNOW YOU WORKED ON THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE A COLOR SENSE TOO.

BUT WHO WOULD EVER THINK OF PUTTING RUST AND IS THIS-- >> WELL, DUSTY ROSE.

>> DUSTY ROSE OR A MAUVE TOGETHER.

AND I THINK IT'S SO INTERESTING, QUITE OFTEN, JEANETTE WEARS A LOT OF INDIAN-TYPE-- OH, YOU'VE GOT SOME ON TODAY.

HOW NICE.

AND I LIKE THE TURQUOISE LOOK WITH THIS ALSO.

IT'S LIKE A THIRD COLOR IN THE WHOLE VEST.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S ON THE BACK, JEANETTE.

WHAT DID YOU--DESCRIBE THE BACK.

>> WELL, THE BACK IS AN OFFSET SQUARE WITH CRAZY PATCH IN THE CENTER, AND THEN I--WHAT IS THE WORD?

>> STRING.

>> STRING.

USED STRING ON THE BACK AND FINISHED IT OFF WITH THAT.

>> IT'S REALLY LAPPED, BUT IT IS THE STRING EFFECT.

AND IT'S VERY NICE.

WE HAVE AN INTERESTING QUILT IN THE BACK HERE ALSO.

THIS WAS DONE BY BETSY FREEMAN, AND I WOULD SAY IT'S A CROSS BETWEEN AN AUTOGRAPH QUILT AND A SIGNATURE QUILT.

WE COULD CALL IT A FAMILY QUILT.

HER DAUGHTER WAS GRADUATING, SO SHE SENT, I WOULD SAY, PROBABLY 8- OR 9-INCH SQUARES OFF TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY AND THEN JUST WAITED BY THE MAILBOX FOR EVERYTHING TO COME BACK.

AND LOOK AT THE LOVELY RESULTS.

THIS IS A VERY HEARTWARMING-TYPE QUILT TO PASS ON DOWN TO YOUR YOUNGSTER.

AND IT'S REALLY FUN TO EVEN STUDY SOME OF THE BLOCKS UP CLOSE.

I LIKE THIS ONE.

ARISE, GO FORTH, AND CONQUER.

AND OF COURSE, THIS ONE SIGNED BY MOM.

AND IT'S PRETTY EVIDENT THAT HER DAUGHTER ENJOYED HORSES BECAUSE EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE, I SEE A BLOCK THAT HAS A HORSE MOTIF IN IT.

AND THIS--I KNOW BETSY IS FROM LANDRUM, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND THAT SHE DID LAP QUILT THIS.

SHE DID LIMITED QUILTING IN THE BORDERS, BUT I THINK THE EFFECT THAT SHE HAS DONE AROUND ON THE STAR REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE MITERING IN EACH AREA.

THIS IS NICE, AND NOW WE'RE GONNA LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE QUILTS.

COME WITH US.

VIRGINIA BROWER IS THE ARTIST THAT DID THIS LOVELY BLUE-AND-WHITE QUILT.

SHE IS A VERY MULTITALENTED PERSON.

I THINK YOU KNOW VIRGINIA BETTER THAN I DO, NORMA, WHAT-- NORMA GRAFFING IS HERE WITH US TODAY TALKING ABOUT QUILTS.

AND TELL ME ABOUT VIRGINIA.

>> VIRGINIA IS A CHINA PAINTER, AND WE'RE BOTH MEMBERS OF THE HENDERSONVILLE CHINA PAINTING GUILD.

SHE'S A VERY TALENTED GIRL.

SHE DOES ANTIQUE DOLLS.

SHE DRESSES THEM.

AND I THINK HER TALENT SHOWS IN THIS PARTICULAR QUILT.

>> IT CERTAINLY DOES, AND I SEE A LOT OF THE FAMILIAR GEOMETRIC SHAPES THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH BEFORE.

I NOTICE THE ATTIC WINDOWS DESIGN HERE AND WHAT-- >> WE HAVE THE LOG CABIN.

>> THE LOG CABIN, VERY REMINISCENT OF THIS.

THE BLUES HERE--I THINK WE SHOULD RENAME THIS WHOLE QUILT.

SHE HAS CALLED IT MODERN PATCHWORK, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD RENAME IT WEDGWOOD IN HONOR OF HER TALENTS.

TELL ME ABOUT THE VEST YOU HAVE ON.

NOW, I KNOW THIS-- YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ARTISTIC ENDEAVOR HERE, AND THIS HAS SUCH MOTION IN THE BLOCK THAT YOU'VE PUT ON THE BACK--WHAT-- >> THIS IS THE WINDBLOWN SQUARE.

>> RIGHT, AND OF COURSE, I'VE ALWAYS LOVED BLACK AND WHITE TOGETHER.

AND HERE YOU'VE ACCENTED IT WITH THE RED.

IT REALLY IS NICE.

ON THE FRONT YOU HAVE DONE-- OH, THIS IS AN INTERESTING IDEA.

I THINK JUST THE RED, THE HINT OF THE LAPEL HERE IS NICE.

IT GIVES IT A REAL VEST LOOK, DOESN'T IT?

>> BRINGS A LITTLE COLOR TO THE FACE.

>> OH, VERY GOOD.

THAT'S GOOD, NORMA.

TURN AROUND, AND I WANT TO SHOW OFF YOUR SEMINOLE VEST ALSO.

SHE HAS DONE A SHOOFLY PATTERN AND TURNED IT ON THE OFFSET AND THEN SIMPLY BORDERED THAT WITH MORE SEMINOLE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, NORMA, FOR SHARING THIS WITH US.

AND LET'S LOOK AT MORE VESTS NOW.

LEOMA SATTERFIELD AND LORI HILL HAVE JOINED ME TO MODEL BOTH OF THEIR VESTS.

I LIKE WHAT LEOMA HAS DONE HERE.

THIS IS A VERY VERSATILE IDEA.

SHE HAS BASED HER STAR FLOWER BLOCK ON HER MUSLIN SO THAT SHE CAN REALLY WEAR THIS YEAR-ROUND.

TODAY SHE'S GOT IT WITH CORDUROY AND A TURTLENECK, BUT I THINK THIS COULD GO JUST AS WELL IN THE SUMMER WITH WHITE PANTS.

SHE HAS USED, REALLY, TWO DIFFERENT SIZED CHECKS AND A DARKER PRINT.

AND THEN LORI HILL HAS DONE THE CRAZY PATCH.

AND SHE HAS USED A MORE FITTED DESIGN HERE.

REMEMBER, WE TALKED ABOUT IF YOU WANT A FITTED VEST, YOU NEED TO CUT YOUR MUSLIN OR YOUR PELLON FLEECE OUT OF-- YOU SEE THIS SEAM GOING DOWN HERE.

SO THAT GIVES YOU A MORE FITTED LOOK.

LADIES, TURN AROUND SO WE CAN SHOW OFF THE FRONT.

OH, HOW NICE.

LEOMA HAS DONE THE STRING QUILTING ON THE FRONT ON THE DIAGONAL.

AND I THINK ON THE BIAS, THE CHECK LOOKS VERY NICE ON THE BIAS.

AND WE HAVE MORE CRAZY PATCH AND A LOT OF EMBROIDERY ON THE FRONT.

THANK YOU, LORI, FOR SHOWING IT TO US.

THE OTHER QUILT BEHIND US HAS BEEN CREATED BY PENNY WORKMAN.

AND I THINK THIS IS A NOVEL IDEA FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

SHE HAS BASED THIS ON A CHILD'S COLORING BOOK AND SIMPLY TRACED HER PATTERNS OUT AND HAS DONE THIS IN ENTIRE IN APPLIQUE THEME.

IT HAS BEEN LAP QUILTED, AND IF YOU'LL NOTICE, SHE HAS DONE THE CROSSHATCHING ON THE DIAGONAL AS A BACKGROUND BEHIND THE APPLIQUE.

A VERY CHARMING IDEA FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON, MAYBE TO HANG BEHIND THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

NOW, THIS IS A FAVORITE OF OURS.

THIS IS THE CATHEDRAL CHATELAINE AND, PEGGY JINANE, IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE.

WE ARE LOOKING BEHIND US AT AN ENTIRE CATHEDRAL QUILT.

HAVE YOU EVER TACKLED THIS ENTIRE QUILT?

>> NO.

PILLOW, YES; QUILT, NO.

THAT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR ME.

>> WELL, IT IS FOR ME TOO, BUT IT IS NICE TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT THESE INTO SMALL PROJECTS.

WE WOULD PUT THIS IN THE AREA OF WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE NOVELTY QUILT IDEA.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING ON THE BACK THAT'S A NOVELTY THEME ALSO.

IT'S THE RADIANT STAR OR THE STAR BURST.

AND OF COURSE, THE IDEA IS FOLDED CLOTH THAT RADIATES OUT FROM THE CENTER, SO YOU REALLY GET A STAR MOTIF, BUT YOU REALLY WOULDN'T WANT TO DO AN ENTIRE QUILT OF THIS EITHER.

AND SO HOW NICE TO ACCENT IT ON THE BACK OF A VEST.

NOW, ON THE FRONT, PEGGY, YOU'VE GONE AHEAD AND YOU'VE DONE THE STRING QUILTING JUST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VEST.

AND I LIKE THE WAY YOU'VE USED THE WIDER WIDTH DOWN HERE, AND IT COMES UP NARROWER AT A CERTAIN POINT.

SHE HAS REALLY CREATED A WHOLE ENSEMBLE HERE BY COMBINING THE PANTS FABRIC.

AND THE SAME FABRIC IS REPEATED IN THE TOP OF HER VEST.

IT'S REALLY NICE, PEGGY.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE TEACHING CLASSES IN FLORIDA.

>> YES.

>> THAT'S GREAT.

WELL, I'M SO HAPPY YOU COULD JOIN US HERE TODAY.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

[indistinct speech] AND WE HAVE MORE DENIM HERE.

ANN KENIPE, IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU JOIN US TODAY.

TELL ME ABOUT THIS VEST.

>> WELL, THIS VEST IS MADE FROM USED JEANS.

I HAVE THREE SONS, SO LOTS OF USED JEANS.

AND I MADE IT FOR OUR GUITAR TEACHER.

>> WELL, HE'S GONNA PLAY EVEN BETTER WITH THAT ON, I'M SURE.

VERY NICE, AND I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT ON.

THAT IS A REALLY UPTOWN LOOK.

YOU HAVE A TOUCH OF-- WHAT IS THAT?

A STENCIL?

>> YES, IT'S A BUTTERFLY THAT I'VE STENCILED ON THE FRONT.

>> AND THEN YOU'VE GOT SOME STRING QUILTING, AND I BET THAT BUTTERFLY IS A SUGGESTION.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S ON THE BACK SIDE.

VERY NICE.

DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE?

>> WELL, I APPLIQUED THE BUTTERFLIES ON AND DID A LITTLE BIT OF EMBROIDERY WORK AROUND THEM.

>> AND LOOK, YOU'VE USED SOME EYELET FOR THE ANTENNAS.

VERY CLEVER, AND I THINK THE TOUCH OF THE BLACK ON THE WINGS IS VERY NICE ALSO.

IT ALMOST FADES INTO THE BACKGROUND MATERIAL.

IT'S VERY HANDSOME, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A SUNDAY OUTFIT.

IT REALLY DOES.

TELL ME ABOUT THIS MARVELOUS, OVERWHELMING APPLIQUE QUILT BEHIND US IN THE NAVY BLUE AND WHITE POLKA DOT.

>> THIS QUILT IS SUGGESTIVE OF HAWAIIAN QUILTING.

IT CAME FROM NEW YORK STATE.

IT BELONGED TO A DOCTOR.

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IN 1930 IT WAS BOUGHT FOR $5.

>> IT'S VALUED AT MUCH MORE TODAY.

IT REALLY IS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING IT WITH US.

SHIRLEY CLENNAN, IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU HERE TODAY.

VERY NICE, AND YOU'VE GOT-- YOUR VEST COULD MORE OR LESS FADE INTO THE BACKGROUND OF THE FLYING GEESE.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

WHAT HAVE YOU USED HERE?

>> WELL, I TOOK A PATCH AND COPIED IT OUT OF A BOOK AND MADE THE POCKETS ON THE FRONT AND SHADED IT DIFFERENTLY FOR THE BACK.

>> IT'S REALLY AN ANTIQUE BLOCK, AND YOU'VE CHANGED IT A LITTLE BIT ON THE BACK, RIGHT?

>> RIGHT, I CHANGED IT A LITTLE BIT AND STRING QUILTED OUT AROUND IT.

>> AND THE TOUCH OF BURGUNDY IS JUST PERFECT.

IT REALLY IS.

AND WAS THIS BASED ON THE PELLON FLEECE?

>> YES, IT WAS BASED ON PELLON FLEECE.

>> VERY NICE, AND I ESPECIALLY ADMIRE THIS FLYING GEESE QUILT.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE BORDER PRINTS, AND I THINK THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO USE IT.

THIS WAS LAP QUILTED, BUT INSTEAD OF THE BLOCKS, IT WAS ROW LAP QUILTING.

AND OF COURSE, THE TRIANGLES COMBINED WITH TWO MORE TRIANGLES FORM THE RECTANGLE THAT IS JUST REPEATED IN THIS QUILT.

IT HAS A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN IT.

I REALLY LIKE IT.

THANK YOU, SHIRLEY.

FRANCES, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE TODAY, FRANCES GARDINA.

AND MORE OF-- DESCRIBE YOUR VEST TO US.

>> WELL, I DECIDED INSTEAD OF MAKING A PATCHWORK THAT I WOULD DO A STENCIL.

AND STARTED ON THE FRONT, AND THEN I DECIDED I'D DO IT ON THE BACK AND JUST KEPT GOING.

>> OH, I LOVE IT.

AND YOU'VE ACCENTED WITH A LITTLE RUFFLE.

I THINK THE STENCIL IDEA HAS SUCH A FEMININE LOOK.

IT REALLY LOOKS SO NICE ON YOU.

FRANCES, YOU HAVE ANOTHER FAVORITE QUILTED OBJECT OF MINE.

DO YOU WANT TO SHOW THAT TO US?

>> YES, INSTEAD OF MAKING A VEST, I DECIDED THAT I WOULD MAKE A JACKET.

AND IF YOU WILL NOTICE, I USED JUST THE STRING QUILTING, NO QUILTING AT ALL, WHICH WOULD BE GOOD FOR A BEGINNER.

IT IS CAUGHT ON THE BATTING.

AND THEN THE BACK, THE SURPRISE.

>> OH, I REALLY LIKE THAT.

I BET THIS-- WAS THIS GIVEN TO YOU?

>> AN ANTIQUE PIECE OF LACE, WHICH ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A BASKET OF FLOWERS.

>> I REALLY LIKE IT, AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT THIS FANTASTIC QUILT BEHIND US.

I KNOW IT HAS A REAL HISTORY AND HAS BEEN IN THIS AREA EVER SINCE IT WAS MADE.

>> YES, IT'S REALLY A HOMETOWN QUILT.

THE LADY WHO MADE THIS CARDED HER OWN WOOL FROM SHEEP THAT WAS ON HER PLACE.

THE QUILT WAS MADE BETWEEN 1851 AND 1875.

DURING THAT TIME, SHE RAISED FIVE CHILDREN.

HER HUSBAND WAS KILLED IN THE WAR, AND I'M SURE THIS WAS A SOLACE FOR HER.

>> OH, I'M CERTAINLY-- THE BACK WAS-- WE WERE LOOKING AT THE BACK.

IT GIVES A SUGGESTION THAT IT'S DONE.

IT'S QUILTED SO NICELY ON THE BACK, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE FRAME THIS WAY AND THEN QUILTED FROM THE BACK SIDE.

I'M REALLY PROUD THAT WE'VE KEPT IT IN THIS COUNTY, AND IT IS JUST LOVELY.

>> IT'S LIKE A GRAND OLD LADY WHO NEEDS TO BE SEEN.

>> IT CERTAINLY IS.

THANK YOU, FRANCES, FOR JOINING US, AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE LADIES, THE VESTS, AND-- BY THE WAY, WHAT ARE YOU CALLED THIS WEEK?

EVERY WEEK THEY GET TOGETHER, THEY DEVISE A NEW NAME, AND WHAT IS IT THIS WEEK?

>> WELL, OUR OFFICIAL NAME IS CAROLINA COUNTRY PATCHERS, BUT THIS WEEK, IT'S COVER LOVER.

>> SHIRLEY, I KNOW YOUR HUSBAND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A NAME ALSO.

I'M NOT SURE WE WANT TO HANG ON TO IT.

WHAT WAS IT HE THOUGHT UP?

>> HE FEELS WE SHOULD BE CALLED USED SQUARES.

>> I THINK THAT'S JUST TERRIBLE, SHIRLEY.

>> KIND OF A PLAY ON WORDS.

>> I THINK SO.

WE HAVE REALLY ENJOYED VISITING WITH THE VEST GIRLS.

AND NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT MORE QUILTS.

[indistinct speech] QUITE OFTEN I DON'T EVEN NEED TO LOOK AT THE NAME ON THE TAG OF THE QUILT.

I RECOGNIZE THE QUILTER'S WORK AND THE COLORS SHE WORKS WITH.

THIS IS NESTOR HARBIN, AND SHE HAS USED THE SHOOFLY PATTERN, BUT SHE'S TURNED IT ON THE OFFSET THIS TIME.

AND THEN SHE'S ALTERNATED WITH A SOLID OLIVE GREEN BLOCK, AND I THINK IT'S A VERY STRONG, VIBRANT QUILT.

IT HAS QUITE AN IMPACT, I'D SAY.

ON THE OTHER HAND, HERE IS BEA WARREN'S QUILT.

AND LOOK AT THE VERY SUBTLE COLORS THAT SHE HAS USED.

IN FACT, SHE HAS TAKEN THE SAME PATTERN, AND SHE'S USED FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS, BUT THE SAME PATTERN.

AND THIS IS OUR CARD TRICKS PATTERN.

AND SHE HAS LAP QUILTED THIS, BUT I LIKE HOW SHE'S DONE THIS.

SHE'S PUT HER FOUR BORDERS ON, AND THEN SHE HAS CREATED A FOUR-PATCH IN THE CENTER.

VERY INTERESTING IDEA.

EVERYONE'S BEEN ADMIRING THIS SAMPLER.

I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING HERE IS THAT SHE'S WORKED IN ONE COLOR, JUST THE BLUE AND WHITE.

AND THEN FOR MORE DEFINITION, SHE'S TAKEN HER PRINT AND GONE AROUND EACH 18-INCH SQUARE WITH A CALICO.

AND IT REALLY SETS OFF EACH BLOCK.

I THINK IT TELLS A LOVELY STORY.

I ALSO LIKE THE LITTLE GIRL AND BOY FACING EACH OTHER IN THE CENTER OF THE QUILT.

THAT'LL LOOK NICE ON THE BED.

IN GETTING SOME ADVICE FROM JEANETTE, WHO HELPED ORGANIZE THIS SHOW, THE ONE THING THAT SHE SAID WAS SO IMPORTANT IS TO START OUT A YEAR AHEAD OF TIME.

IF YOU'RE WELL-PLANNED, I THINK IT HELPS AS FAR AS YOUR PUBLICITY AND LETTING THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA KNOW SO THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE THEIR FAMILY HEIRLOOMS FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

AND THEN WHEN THE ACTUAL SHOW TIME COMES, YOU CAN SIT BACK AND ENJOY MEETING ALL YOUR FRIENDS, AND IT BECOMES A SOCIAL GATHERING, AND YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE QUILTS YOU'VE MADE THIS YEAR OR THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN IN YOUR FAMILY.

THIS HAS BEEN A NON-JURIED SHOW.

SOMETIMES THEY ARE JURIED, AND OF COURSE, THEN YOU FIND OUT THE BEST ONES IN THE SHOW, THE BEST WORKMANSHIP, BUT I THINK IT'S FUN JUST TO SHARE AND LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT VARIETY OF QUILTS.

YOU MIGHT EVEN PUT A SHEET OF PAPER AT THE DOOR AND HAVE PEOPLE PICK OUT THEIR FAVORITES IN CERTAIN CATEGORIES.

AND THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE TOP CHOICE AND THE PICK OF THE GROUP, SO TO SPEAK.

ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENS AT A QUILT SHOW IS, WE GET SO STIMULATED TO GO HOME AND MAKE A NEW QUILT.

IT'S LIKE GOING TO A SYMPOSIUM OR TO A CONVENTION.

WE LEARN NEW IDEAS.

WE LEARN NEW WAYS OF WORKING WITH OUR TEMPLATES AND WITH OUR COLORS, AND IT JUST SPURS US ON TO MAKE ANOTHER QUILT.

ONE OF THE OLDER PIECES HERE IN OUR QUILT SHOW HAS BEEN THIS ONE, DATED 1887, AND IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF CRAZY PATCH WITH ALL THE STAINED GLASS COLORS.

NEXT TIME, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A CHANCE TO VISIT MY HOME AND SEE WHERE I DO MY WORK IN THE STUDIO.

AND I AM GONNA SHOW YOU A SPECIAL WAY I HAVE FOR STORING OLD QUILTS AND PRESERVING THEM.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

GOOD-BYE.
