The Modern Bee will once again be meeting at the Talahi Island Community Center (529 Quarterman Dr.) Everyone welcome! We’re going to be starting a new challenge. (Although anyone still working on the last one should just come along and keep sewing.) The new one is focused on modern quilt sketches — little 8X10 improv creations.  Since it’s new, we’ll be spending time exploring ideas, existing quilts, and other inspiration.  If you’re ready to sew bring your machine and fabric. Or maybe you’ll just be sketching a draft quilt and testing fabrics. This is a start. In any case there will be lots of opinions to get you started. If you’re new to the group, this will be a great time to join.

See you May 20 at 1 p.m.

This month we’ll be continuing our work on modern traditional quilting. Bring your project, any “show & tellls”, and your machine. If you’re new to our group we’ll get you started. Hope to see everyone on Wednesday.

Just a note to remind those in the modern bee to bring your circle quilts to the meeting this Saturday.

Also, a reminder that the Modern Bee will be meeting next Wednesday February 18 at the Talahi Community Center from 1-4 in the afternoon. (532 Quarterman Dr.) All are invited. We’ll be working on our new modern/traditional quilts. Bring your machine, fabric, etc.  It will be interesting to see what everyone has decided to do. Also bring show and tell things to share (quilts, articles, books, etc.).

If you weren’t at the last meeting feel free to join in, we’ll bring you up to date. Just bring some fabric you love and your machine.  You’ll get plenty of ideas from everyone else.

See everyone Saturday and then next Wednesday.

The Modern Bee will once again be meeting in person next Wednesday Jan. 21 at the Talahi Island Community Center 532 Quarterman Road from 1-4

The first thing we’ll be doing is sharing our circle quilts, whatever shape they’re in. This was a challenge from last year. If you don’t have a circle quilt, don’t worry. Just come along and join the fun.

Next, we’ll be starting a new challenge — the modern traditionalism quilt.  We won’t be sewing yet. First, we’re going to explore what these quilts are like by examining them and getting ideas. Then we’ll start planning our own quilts (if all goes well). If you’d like, bring along some fabric you love that you think might fit into these new quilts.

If you have a quilt that you think fits into modern traditionalism, bring it along to share.

We’re welcoming anyone who’s interested in modern quilting, especially the new quild members. See you next Wednesday.

P.S. Don’t forget there’s a $3 fee to cover room rental.

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.
