Guest - I've admired Rebecca Ringquist's embroidery for a long time. She has such a beautiful way of layout out her designs that speak to me. Maybe because they are more organic and flowing, they seem to develop as she worked it. Today Rebecca is going to share with me her design techniques, some tips for embroidery and talk about her online workshops.

Also Maureen is going to share tips on her fantastic 'thread drawing' technique. This I want to learn!

Guests - I have special guests for this 20th Anniversary show. The owners of "The City Quilter" Dale Riehl and Cathy Izzo. No trip to NYC is complete until you've visited "The City Quilter" shop. I've had the great pleasure of visiting more than once and hanging out with Dale and Cathy! This husband and wife team has a unique approach to their store. Not only do they have the only art gallery totally devoted to quilts, with rotating exhibits, but they also design 'NYC' fabrics... I think I own most of it! I'm delighted to have them on the show to talk about their shop and a brand new challenge with a new NYC themed fabric line! American Patchwork & Quilting is sponsoring this Challenge!
