Challenging Ourselves: The Michiana Modern Quilt Guild

Last night we had the Michiana Modern Quilt Guild meeting at Threadbenders. We always love it when these ladies come in. They have some much energy and creativity.

They had done a challenge for the group. They'd picked a group of fabrics to work with and then went for it.

Diane's Quilt

Of course the quilts were awesome! 

Wanda's Quilt

It was a contest, and we did vote for several winners.

Linda's Quilt

But the real prize was what happens when you stretch yourself with your art.  I think there was at least one "I don't want to use that " fabric for everyone who made a quilt. But they did it. And the quilts were great.

Kim's Quilt

After we step over that border, there are so many things we can do we haven't thought of before. It's the best prize you can win. And it's something only you can give to yourself.

Joan's Quilt

Part of what is so cool about the Modern Quilt movement is the clean lines and unexpected design choices. And these ladies had excelled at that.

Peg's Quilt

The Michiana Modern Quilt Guild is taking a break for the summer. They'll be back in fall with new programs, new quilts, new ideas, all astonishments.
