Helen Anne Lemke offers two tutorials on her blog which are useful to art quilters as well as traditional quilters…..one on color and value and another, how to baste a quilt on a WALL!  Wow…my knees thank her already.

Look here for her “how to” sections. http://imhalca.blogspot.com/p/how-to.html

Brenda Gael Smith is just chock full of information.  Here’s what she has in her words:

I have numerous tutorials for quilt finishing techniques of my blog
and link to others that I have found useful.  You can view a complete
listing at: http://www.serendipitypatchwork.com.au/alternatives.html

Also I am the 3 Creative Studios guest artist for March and have
prepared a series of mini-tutorials on shibori for their "Technique of
the Month" program.  The first tutorial is on Karamatsu (Japanese
larch) which is a radiating stitch resist design. See:

The other introductory tutorials cover folding resists; pole wrapping
and clamp resists.
