Preemie Quilt Challenge 1 Photos

(I just downloaded this Shape Collage app from BigHugeLabs.com and love it!)

There are too many pictures to show them individually but I hope you enjoy this slide show!

If for some reason this show isn't working please let me know. This is my first time trying imageloop out. All the images can be viewed at the NOVA Modern Quilt Guild flickr page.

Robert Kaufman generously donated a charm pack for each member of participating chapters in the Modern Quilt Guild to use for a challenge project of our choosing. 

The NOVA Modern Quilt Guild selected the Bright palate to work with and each of us made one or more mini quilts (29"x29" to 45"x45" or any size in between) from 100% cotton materials. The members were allowed to add fabric from their stash as long as the charms remained the stars of the show. The quilts will be donated to the INOVA Fairfax Children's Hospital NICU in Fairfax, VA.

If you are in the Northern Virginia area and would like to join our guild, check out NOVAModernQuiltGuild.com for more information and how to join.  If you would like to donate fabric, a quilt top, partially finished quilt, or finished quilt made from 100% cotton materials, between 29"x29" and 45"x45" (rectangular or square), please contact me to coordinate your donation. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Quilting

Preemie Quilt Challenge 1: Show and Tell

We had a great NOVA Modern Quilt Guild Show and Tell event April 30th at Rebecca's house. Everyone had a blast showing their creations and seeing the other quilts that were turned in ahead of time. Most of the quilts were created using Kona solid charm packs (in the bright colorway) which were generously donated by RK to all the modern quilt guilds. Here are some photos of the ladies holding their quilts...

Visit to Aurora Quilts

I just returned from a fun afternoon of shopping, errand running, and all the other stuff we cram into weekends. The first stop was Aurora Quilts. What a precious little shop it is. I met the owner's husband, as the owner was out at a workshop. Of course, I added to my stash while I was there. Got several fat quarters, one yard each of six materials, and a magazine. It was a very good place to shop. Now I have to to get these new fabrics washed and into the stash upstairs.

Block Drive for Japan

Good Morning members of the NOVA Modern Quilt Guild!

I feel quite awkard posting here, since I have not met many of you yet, so let me introduce myself quick.

My name is Kristy, I recently moved to the area from Minneapolis. I was a part of the Modern Quilt Guild there, and am very excited that there is a local guild here too!

Anyways, for the real reason I am posting, the Minneapolis Guild is hosting a block drive for Japan. All you need to do is make 10.5 inch Log Cabin block, any color(s), any style (wonky, traditional, whatever) timing is of the essence though, they want to receive blocks no later the the 8th of April. You can either mail them yourself, or get them to me by the 5th, so I can mail all them in one package on the 6th and hope they get there on time!

More information can be found on this blog post

I will send an email with all the same information, please contact me for my address if you are going to be making blocks.
