Weekend sewing.

What’s this??

Top & Back

It’s a finished quilt top and back! Now basting has to happen and on a quilt this big it involves moving furniture in my living room. Not going to be fun but I’m so eager to quilt this one.  Will tackle it soon!

On another note – what do you LA locals think about the idea of starting an modern quilting guild? I was contacted about the idea so I though I’d see if there’s any interest? Let me know what you think!

Happy Monday!

    The Mod Guild sounds awesome! We need to represent! I’m sooo in! oh, and I’m in Pasadena and have fellow mod quilters in my area…

    Love those trees!

    Two enthusiastic thumbs up for the modern quilting guild! I’ve been looking for one–especially on the west side–and the pickins are slim. There are a lot of traditional chapters though…and I think I may feel a bit out of place in those. ;)

    I’m down in Costa Mesa/Huntington Beach, but I would be excited for meetings-of-the-modern-minds at a modern guild. I’ve been tempted to join others, but realize that the group might not exactly be what I’m looking for.

    there’s always room and TIME for another quilt group. :)

    yes, sounds like an interesting idea!

    I wish I had a Modern Quilting guild in my area. Two days drive to get to your area isn’t going to happen. Love the owl fabric on your quilt.

  8. giselle Says:

    Count me in! I’m a new quilter who would love to learn from and be inspired by a fun group of modern quilters!

  9. Angela Says:

    I would definitely be interested…be sure to post any new info. Looking for a group of like-minded quilt lovers to meet with in person!

    i think i may have to move…i want to join….or maybe commute (how about meeting at the airport?)

  14. Jackie Says:

    I wish I had a local place here to support modern quilting. While I don’t mind the traditional style, I would like some support in exploring more modern quilts.

    That pink dandelion fabric is AMAZING! What fabric is it?

  16. Lauren Says:

    I am intrigued by the fabrics you have chosen for this quilt. Can’t wait to see the whole thing.

  17. Alissa Says:

    It’s from Wildwood, Erin McMorris’ latest line! It comes in green and yellow too and I love ‘em all!

  18. Natalie Says:

    I’m a new quilter and would love to meet fellow modern quilters in the area! The traditional kind just seems so stuffy to me so I’ve stayed away from quilting groups. I’m in Park La Brea.

    Makes me wish I lived in your neck of the woods :0)

  22. Emily Says:

    um! HECK YES! A modern quilt guild would be fantastic! COUNT ME IN!

  23. Cheryl Arkison Says:

    Oh, I wish I lived in LA…
    Keep us posted!

  24. Carol Says:

    I have been perusing your blog, old posts and new ones and I am just amazed at how good you are are picking and putting together fabrics. Love all your quilts!

  25. Leslie Says:

    Love the modern quilt guild idea. Count me in for sure. I would love to know more people in town who quilt.

  26. Alison Marie Says:

    I’m in, in Glendale, and can probably bring 1 other local to the party.

  27. Becca Says:

    I just discovered your blog – you have such gorgeous quilts! I love the angry owl fabric in this one.

  28. Terri Reyes Says:

    Hi Alissa! I love your blog and have been following it for several months now. I live in Hollywood and would ABSOLUTELY LEAP at the opportunity to join up with fellow modern quilters. It’s really hard to find a guild/group that is open to different ways of doing things. Like so many of us out there, I have pretty much learned to quilt on my own, but would love to exchange ideas and methods and successes/failures with others…live and in person. Great idea!
