Remember that there is no one magenta fabric that has to be used. You will need to select your own magenta fabric and the only requirements for the challenge is that it be modern, contain at least10% magenta, and be done by Sept. 1. Here is the magenta image from Pantone you can take to the fabric shop or your stash to decide on your fabric.

*NEW* A new Zoom drop-in has been created on the 1st Tuesday night of each month from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There is no program, just a drop-in to discuss what modern piece you are working on or need guidance from the members. Open to all to discuss modern quilting.
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 pm—8:00 pm with a 6:30—7:00 social time.
A new Zoom Drop-In for this group is starting in February 2023. On the first Tuesday of the month from 7:00 pm—8:00 pm with a 6:30—7:00 social time.
Initially the meetings were planned for 7 months but the response has been wonderful and will continue with members taking ownership of the group and continuing forward. Come join and share your knowledge and curiosity about modern quilts.
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). We will record meetings for those who can not make a particular month.
Join us for one or all of our meetings.!
