What does modern quilting mean to me? That’s the question we’ll be answering this week over on the Modern Quilt Guild blog.
It’s not easy to define just what modern quilting is so we hope that lots of you will join in the conversation! Check it out over here!
So busy these days that this is my first finish of 2010. A cute and simple baby quilt for some friends who are expecting but don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. Their first baby got this quilt, so the idea was that the quilts are different but still sort of match.
I had a great time drawing attention to all of the little critters with the quilting.
The back:
It’s so much fun to put together baby quilts quickly. I might have to do that a couple more times before I tackle another bed quilt.
The next block in the Block Party quilt along is up. Check it out!
Put this little house up on Flickr yesterday (for the Bee Imaginative bee) and people seem to like it so I thought I’d pop it up over here on the blog too.
Yes, Mr. Gnome IS off gathering more mushrooms while deer & birdie wait for him at home. He’ll be back soon. And then they will all enjoy some mushroom soup.
Recently obsessed with this color combo.
Been trying different things….
…but nothing just right quite yet.
I’ve been super busy with tons of stuff recently – sorry the ol’ blog is feeling the pain!
Otherwise, we’re up to TWENTY SEVEN THIRTY branches of the Modern Quilt Guild!! Can you believe it!?! And more are in the works. Amazing stuff! Modern quilters unit!
Jenny’s having a bake sale at Home Ec. – all proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders so if you’re in LA on Sunday be sure to stop in and buy some delicious baked goods!!
That’s how it’s been feeling the past week or so. Something about the new year has made people eager to start something new and the Modern Quilt Guild it reaping the benefits!
Here at the LA branch we recently had our first sewing day – six hours of chatting and sewing BLISS!
SO many people out there starting new branches! Check out the new site where you can find out if there’s a guild near you to join.

Lots of polka dots and cute animals! Perfect for a baby.
Thanks for all of your kind words about Project Runway. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season holds!
And on a different note, I’m sure you’ve all already seen the amazing Craft Hope etsy shop that’s raising money for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti. Perfect place to go shopping if you want to.
Tonight season 7 of Project Runway, which I cast, premieres!
