Just a quick reminder that the Modern bee is meeting this Wednesday from 1-4 at the Talahi Community Center. We’re starting our circle challenge, My last note said you don’t need to bring a machine but do bring one if you’d like because you probably will have time to get started. So machine and fabric are fine. If you’re a detailed planner you might want to spend the whole time in quilt design. As usual with modern things, you can do what you like best. See you Wednesday at 1. Let me know if you have any questions.

Next Wednesday, May 21, the Modern Bee will be meeting from 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.)  This month no machines are necessary.  We’ll be starting our new quilt challenge — circles.  The objective will be to start planning your quilt. Emily will be presenting a “show” of circles.  Bring any circle ideas you have — quilts, photos, ideas. And bring paper and pencil to start planning. we’re planning on a circle extravaganza. See you Wednesday.  This is a good time for newcomers since were starting a new project.

Just a note to remind everyone interested in modern quilting that the modern bee will be meeting this Wednesday afternoon from 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.).  This week we’ll be working on our Naedelstern fabric challenge quilts. If you weren’t around to get in on the challenge, don’t worry. we’ll have some fabrics for you to choose and get started. Or if you want to get started on another modern quilt, that’s fine too. Bring along your machine and some fabric and we’ll show you some of the things we’ve done in the past to get you started.

See you Wednesday.

This month’s Modern Bee will be meeting as usual on the third Wednesday (March 19) at the Talahi Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.) from 1-4.

This month the workshop theme is STRIPES. We’ll explore a variety of ways to make stripes and incorporate them into modern quilts. Bring coordinated fabrics and your machine.

For show and tell bring any of the minimalist blocks you’ve made and anything else you’d like to share.

See you next week.

Just a note to remind everyone that the Modern Bee will be meeting this coming Wednesday, February 19 from 1-4 at the Talahi Community Center (532 Quarterman Road).

We’ll be continuing our work on minimalist modern quilts. If you missed last month’s meeting, no problem. We’ll bring you up to date. Bring your sewing machine and coordinated fabric.

At this month’s meeting we’ll be introducing a new quilting challenge and give you a bit of fabric to get started.

Don’t forget to bring things for the show and tell — minimalist quilts in progress, things finished from last year, or anything else you’d like to share. See you Wednesday.

The Modern Bee will be meeting this month on Wednesday afternoon Feb. 19 from 1-4. We’ll be continuing with our work on minimalist quilts and ther will be a challenge. There will be more details on this later, but in the meantime, I’d like to remind everyone who has a round robin quilt to bring it to the guild meeting this Saturday. We’ll show them together.
