Quilt artist, prolific author (20 books and counting), and popular teacher Carol Doak joins the TQS gang aboard the historic USS Yorktown, now part of the Patriots Point museum complex just east of Charleston, SC. Considered by many the Queen of Paper Piecing, Carol "shakes things up" with a ton of creative options for flipping, distorting, and otherwise changing up the shape of familiar paper-pieced elements.

Among her revelations: a method that allows you to incorporate paper piecing to size borders for any quilt. We wrap with a tour of our location, veteran of two wars, the Apollo 8 space mission . . . and two Hollywood movies!

Recently we told you about an opportunity for one TQS member to win two tickets to the upcoming (July 20) Quilt Alliance event in Herndon, VA.

Well...we're pleased to announce that lv2bquilting2 has been selected to attend this spectacular event with a friend of her choosing!  

This one-day, jam-packed documentation event is a must attend for any quilter wanting to preserve the history of his/her handiwork for future generations. In addition to the many hands-on workshops, Jinny Beyer (Episode 313),(see her show for free here, as a Star Member) and Janneken Smucker will be in attendance to share their insight and quilting knowledge.
