The Modern Bee will be meeting Wednesday, March 20 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr). Everyone invited.
This month we’ll be continuing to work on our “puzzle” quilts, a la Cindy Grisdela. We’ll be working on additional block options that can add even more interest to the quilts — angled stripes, wonky triangles, and freehand curves (if we have time). In additional we’ll talk more about doing a round robin quilt or a variation of such a project. Also don’t forget your modern show and tell quilts, including your finished or in progress “puzzle” quilt.
Bring your machines and more fabric for your 3.6.9 puzzle quilt. You’ll need at least six different colors in about 8″ swatches. If you weren’t with us last month to start these quilts don’t worry about it just bring a palette of coordinated colors and you’ll be just fine.
Just a note to remind you that the modern Bee will be meeting this Wednesday February 21 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.). Everyone invited.
We will be continuing on our track of designing improv quilts. This workshop will be based on the work of Cindy Grisdella and her “Blue Puzzle” quilt. Bring the following supplies:
Also bring along your work from past meetings, either finished or in progress for others to see. If you’ve come across interesting things on modern quilting, bring that along as well.
See you Wednesday. Remember there’s a $3 fee for use of the building.
The Modern Bee will be meeting again Wednesday February 21 from 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.). Everyone interested in modern quilting is welcome.
This month we’ll be having a workshop on another approach to modern improv quilting. This workshop will be based on the work of Cindy Grisdella, specifically her “Blue Puzzle” quilt which includes multiple block types created using a log cabin style. You can see this quilt and more on her website.

If you have things made from last month’s workshop, bring them along to share.

The Modern Bee will be meeting again on the third Wednesday afternoon of the month. Our next meeting will be 1-4 pm, Wednesday, January 17 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.). Everyone interested in modern quilting is welcome.
We’ll be having a workshop exploring a simple technique used in designing modern quilts. It involves starting with stitched paper models (called maquettes). This technique is based on the work of David Owen Hastings (check out his website).
The following supplies are needed for the workshop:
Carol has lot of brown paper that she’s bringing. Also there was a question about the fabric to bring. Pick something that would be your background and maybe three other matching fabrics. You won’t need a lot. Hope to see you Wednesday and if you’re booked up that day think aobut coming next month on the third Wednesday — Feb. 21.
