UNDER one ROOF • In a short span of six years, Leesa Clark-Miller-berg fell in love with quilting, and designed and built a retreat center and shop like no other. Eight years after opening its doors, quilters flock to her Salt Lake City-area oasis.

A Conversation on MODERN & Traditional Quilting • Defining what makes a quilt modern or traditional isn’t always clear-cut. To explore this topic in greater depth, in each 2024 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, Joanna Figueroa, a traditional quilter, is holding a dialogue with a guest designer. In this issue, Joanna switched it up and took on the challenge of creating a modern quilt and invited designer Betsy Chutchian to make a quilt using the same classic block.
