January 18 - Zoom only--Improv
September Challenge:
Option 1: Think of a color, feeling or word and search for a photo for inspiration. Or use a photo you have. Option 2: Look for an everyday object or item and interpret it into a quilt. May want to pick a background fabric to use. DO NOT MAKE AN EXACT REPRESENTATION. Remember the block is pieced, layered and quilted, but not bound. October 19 Meeting

Join us for a new quilting adventure. This group is open to all our members and will meet only on Zoom and will focus on modern quilting! Meeting the third Tuesday of the month from 7:00—8:00 with a 6:30—7:00 social time. Initially the meetings will last for 7 months, the group may decide to continue after that time. Purpose: to explore Modern quilting techniques and characteristics. Each month we will explore one of the hall marks of modern quilting with demonstrations or video. Participants will be encourages to make a quilted block by playing with that technique to show at the next month’s meeting (our Show and Tell).
