Modern Fusion

 The Delaware Modern Quilt Guild came to the Eastern Shore Modern Quilters for an afternoon of Fun, Fellowship, and Food. We began the afternoon with lunch. Then we went around the room and introduced ourselves. We were to describe ourselves with one of the three Cs: Cartoon Character, Car, or Cuisine. It was so fun to hear what some of the girls had to say about themselves.

After the introductions we had Show-n-Tell. There was so much Show-n-Tell that I have posted those pictures last. I am sorry to say that I did not get pictures of everything.

Following Show-n-Tell the Delaware Guild presented us with a challenge. It is the "One Yard Fabric Exchange and Challenge." You can learn more about that HERE. Anyway, first we had the exchange. We each brought a yard of solid fabric and did the “Fold It – Snip It – Rip It – Drop It – Pass It”. 

When the Eastern Shore Guild was done with the Swap, the Delaware Guild showed us their challenge pieces from the same Exchange and Challenge.

The two pictures here are the results of their One Yard Challenge. 

WOW! 

They are amazing.

Then the Delaware Girls showed us another challenge they had done. 

It was to use pieced letters.

Again, what they came up with was absolutely amazing!

Most of the following pictures are Show-n-Tell. 

We have many very talented ladies in these two guilds!

The Delaware Guild does a lot of Challenges. Their next one is to do a Self Portrait. Rhonda is holding up an example of a good self portrait of her

We ended the afternoon with our Journal Exchange. 

We all had so much fun we decided to do this again. We are planning to go visit the Delaware Guild in April and we will reveal  our "One Yard Challenge."

Solid Challenge

Modern Quilters Eastern Shore held their annual Challenge and Christmas Party this week.

Our Challenge this year was to use all solids in a quilt. 

Alice made this at a workshop she attended with Gwen Marston.

 Jean made this very modern very large quilt.

Lou made a table runner using all American Made Brand fabrics.

 Tyra made this one, also using all American Made Brand fabrics.

Carol drives a little red Smart Car just like this one. 

Barb's solid triangles.

Sharon's quilt resembles a watermelon and she used the leftovers on the back.

Kathy's solid squares.

Barbara's very modern quilt.

This is mine using all American Made Brand fabrics. 

This is the first quilt I designed on the computer.

I put a facing on instead of a binding because I did not want to frame it.

I used the leftover fabrics on the back.

Guess I should have used a solid white back because it shows through to the front.

These two belong to Alice. They are mostly solids with one small print. 

Alice made this improvisational curve pieced quilt in a workshop with Gwen Marston.

I absolutely love it!
