Maine Modern Quilters-Next Meeting December 8th

The following is an article submitted by Betsy Cannan:

The third meeting/gathering of the Maine Modern Quilters will be held in Augusta at Buker Community Center on Dec. 8, 2012 from 2-4 P.M. at 22 Armory St., room 9. (across from the Armory and near Burger King)  Quilters of all ages and skill levels are welcome!  Come on in!!!! Carolee Withee and Jane Hann-Morey will present on methods of inserting circles into quilts.  For those interested we will start the “Rip and Tear” modern quilt project challenge.

In our previous meetings we have learned from presenters, shared wonderful Show and Tells, books, magazines and techniques, and openly discussed our individual needs of being in this group. 

We are now on the international registry of The Modern Quilt Guild, have a website and a face book page.

 Below are pictures from our last meetings:

  

Betsy Dorr, owner of Quiltessentials, presented on “Color and the color wheel” and demonstrated the use of the new color grid which makes our life easier when selecting fabrics for our projects.

 Janet Clement displayed her beautiful modern quilt and shared the intrigue behind the color scheme.
 

 Beth Maitland presented on the “Floating Tumbling Block”, and other small projects she has done, emphasizing the quilting of negative space.

The following meeting will be held Jan. 9, 2013 location TBA.
