A Great Start to 2024

Maine Modern Quilters has had a busy couple of months. As a statewide guild we are excited to split our year into in person and virtual meetings. As our guild approaches the hundred- member threshold we would love to share our love of modern quilting and friendship with anyone who would like to explore the world of modern quilting, let us know if you are interested.
During our February meeting after we shared our future project plans and show and tell
including the second of our “mini quilt” series. Many of these 24”x24” quilts will be on display at the Maine Quilt show in July! Afterwards, members Ann Ball and Kate Gawler (with Karen Wood providing tech support) led us in a workshop where we learned the interleave technique.
We had great fun together in this zoom meeting learning a new technique which creates a dynamic, fun, and unique block from two simple ones.
In March after sharing our favorite quilt designers Carmen Dickinson, Karen Wood, and Heather Walters led us in some tips and tricks around Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP). Although many of us have experience in FPP we all learned something new and were able to share our own tips and tricks and learn from each other.
Also, in February a dozen of our members attended QuiltCon in Raleigh, North Carolina. During our March meeting they shared some highlights from the convention and their favorite quilts from the show. Seeing such amazing quilts was an inspiration for all of us. If you are interested in Modern Quilts, we would love to share inspiration with you.
