FQSG Antique Quilt Block Challenge

The March 2021 issue of 

AQ magazine is out and inside

you will find an article by Moi :)

Last year the Florida Quilt

Study Group did an antique

block challenge with very

few rules, thankfully!

I was overly ambitious and 

worked on 2 blocks because 

each had different fabrics that spoke 

to me. Using techniques 

from my Fabric Collaborations

workshop, I created 2 unique pieces 

and then wrote an article about 

the process for AQ.

Our Fabulous exhibit is 

now on display

at THE Quilters Hall of Fame

in Marion, Indiana. 

THANK YOU, 

KATHY METELICA CRAY!!

IF you can't go in person,

they have their own youtube

channel where they have put

the whole exhibit for you to 

see from home!

ONLINE EXHIBIT

February 23 - May 8

Florida Quilt Study Group:

Antique Quilt Block Challenge

The challenge was to take an antique block and incorporate it into a small quilt measuring 24" x 24." Artists were allowed to use the block whole, cut up, or dismantled. The could add vintage or new fabrics; whatever it takes to create a quilt of their own design and creativity.

AND, I made the exhibit poster

which is super exciting!!

KEEP STITCHING;) 

AQS Publishes Robin's Wreaths

IT'S HERE!!

The magazine hit AQS member mailboxes early 

June and newsstands late June. 

"Robin's Wreaths" will be the series quilt

 this year presented in 5 parts.

If you are not a member, consider becoming one. 

There are many other benefits like all the

access to their digital content as well 

(a treasure trove in itself).

 Plus as a member you can find the first issue in the

 Members Only section of the website:) 

And, my name is on the cover which for some reason

 I completely didn't expect and 

therefore am surprised and delighted!

 Here is the layout on page 18....
