That’s some of what we did at Monday’s LA Modern Quilt Guild meeting. Here’s the two that I made for the swap:
And check out the one that I got:
Two sided and so cute! You all know that I love me some Lush!!
So much fun to put together really quick projects and then all swap.
We also had another show & tell of our quilts. Something everyone loves and that we’ll keep doing. Here I am very seriously talking about my latest quilt.

We all enjoy these meeting so much. So inspiring and fun to be surrounded by people who are equally as excited about all things quilts as I am! And everyone is so nice and warm. I’m so happy we started the guild! Really, you should start one in your town too! A sister chapter perhaps??
Love the pot holders! What do they measure and what did you “stuff” them with, batting? Your quilts are amazing!
hmmm… i don’t have a blog and haven’t really connected with quilters in my area, but i would LOVE a sister chapter here in chilly michigan! Especially for modern quilting. there are guilds here, but not any modern ones that i’ve found.
how did you go about starting that??
love your stuff, by the way.
The potholders are great. Yes, I love me some Lush also, along with Uptown. *sigh* so hard to get. Where do you hold your meetings? It looks like a fun place. Yay for modern quilting. It has really changed my whole style in the last year.
What a cool idea for a swap!
I heard the quilt guild in my area is huge, so I’m not sure I could handle that. I would love to attend one in a more manageable size like the one you started. Thanks for sharing the show-and-tell photos.
love the swap idea! a couple of us are working on starting a kc area chapter…any tips?
oooh! I love potholders! They are a great gift and I really like the ones you made! All that quilting really adds to the charm!
Loving the pot holders! I think I might make my MIL some because last time I was over at her place, she said something about hers being ready for the trash hehe
love your potholders!
The potholders are all great… did you use warm/natural or insulbright. I was going to try insulbright for a runner (so you could set hot plates on it) but then chickened out since it was a last minute gift and I didn’t have time for a flop.
I love the potholders, they are so cute! I like them because they’re so pretty yet so functional! yay! I’d love to start a modern quilt guild where I live, no idea where to start though…
Jacquie is right! We’re looking to start one in KC! Yahoo!
Wonderful! Makes me happy to see the idea spread. So that people know how we got started… we posted on blogs and on flickr groups. From there we started a Ning.com group and that site has done everything we need it to. It’s easy to plan events and share info on there. Can’t wait to see all the KC Modern Quilt Guild does!
About 4 of us in Austin, Texas have been trying to start at minimum a Modern Quilt Bee. But we can’t find a location to hold it! Every library is booked in the evenings and no store will have us
Austinites, please email me anyway, we will find a place eventually!!
Love the potholders!!
What a great idea and i know they would be super gifts. Thanks .
Wow, I LOVE that Lush potholder! And I like your new grey preference. How about those scraps for sale?
Way to go for starting the group. Very inspiring.
Okay….so now, I am not only sad that I missed out on all the potholder fun, I am totally bummed that I didn’t get to see your quilt in person!! I LOVE that quilt and would of enjoyed pawing at it for a few minutes!!
Okay, now I have to try and organize one for the SF Bay Area!
what fun!! i love swaps!
I’d love to start one in Chicago. I posted on Flickr and no takers. Maybe after the new year. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!
Those are adorable! I took a pot holder class a few months ago and had so much fun. I’ve made so many for gifts, everyone loves them!
I love the idea of making potholders, I have made 3 and they are really neat. Glad I’m not the only one who loves them.
