Modern Quilting Group
Welcome Back, September 2021
|
OVQG – MODley Crew
This small group of modern quilters started in 2015 in an attempt to fill a gap that existed in “normal” sewing/quilting techniques used, and to draw younger, modern crafters into our guild as members and into what had been a mostly traditional quilting world. Our modern quilters can do either small art pieces or (most commonly) smaller quilts for the KGH – Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Modern quilting can break down “traditional” block formations and colours in order to reform them in different more simplified ways. It also stresses the creation of “free form” quilts & art pieces that incorporate more space, challenge the norm and allow the actual quilting patterns of a piece to shine. The fabrics/colours used in modern quilting are plain and bright - usually from the primary group on the colour wheel such as blue, white, green, yellow, red, and black, and rarely have any decorative printing on them Come and join us and find out just how creative you thought your brain could be! The MODley Crew meets on a rotating schedule: Everyone is welcome as a participant or as a spectator. You don't have to sign up or attend every month. Drop ins are encouraged. The first project for 2021 will be a cross cut quilt. The website is https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2016/11/vinyle-finished-quilt.html |

2019 Challenge Block: Art Deco Style
ART DECO design, like Modern Quilting, was characterized by its use of bold, primary and secondary colors – red, black, green, orange, yellow, blue, white. In Florida, Art Deco buildings still abound using “beachy” colors – salmon, cream, pale greens and blues, gray – the softer side of primary colors if you will. However, please feel free to use whatever color combination you choose.
Sharon will be leading the meeting
