From November through June, we are focusing on one traditional block and learning to make it modern. We encourage everyone to play along by making a block each month. Keep the size of your blocks consistent and not less then 12” square. You have two options:
1. Just piece the top and when we are all done you will have nine to make a sampler quilt.
2. Make the block, quilt the block, and join it quilt as you go after nine months.
Either way we look forward to seeing your blocks each month. Beginning in December we will have show and tell first so you can hold up your blocks.
Speaking of challenges, if you did not finish, keep working on your Viva Magenta quilt. You can add it in to Show and Tell at any upcoming meeting. We hope to have a very magenta exhibit at the June Quilt Show.
July 16 - In our last Traditional Blocks Made Modern program Pat Carney will talk about Modern applique as she asks "What makes an Applique Quilt Modern" .
Join us on July 16, 2024 at 6:30 pm on Zoom.

*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.!
