I'm traveling with a non quilter, but she does appreciate the arts and she is a crafter. What a week it's going to be!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037415376456508137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563519444833162128.post-26404982300983411062011-01-14T16:46:47.948-05:002011-01-14T16:46:47.948-05:00Hi Victoria -

The fabric is the driving force.<br /><br />I'd love to attend whatever event you're working on, so I hope it won't take place during the Empire show since I'll also be vending there ;)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117251336613000974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563519444833162128.post-45619099650455610812011-01-14T15:32:09.624-05:002011-01-14T15:32:09.624-05:00I agree with Nicole on the people she listed for t...I agree with Nicole on the people she listed for the forum. I think of Modern Quilting as a more simple graphic free form way of creating. Not following the "rules" of patterns and techinque. Trying new methods of patching and quilting. <br /><br />I love our modern guild because of the diversity of quilters in ages and styles. I think you get a more varied and out of the box thinking in the group. No strick guidelines. Love that.<br /><br />I would love to come to a event on this topic, I would come either Friday night or Saturday morning, and I would be willing to pay too. I would hope to take away new ideas and meet new friends.<br /><br />I love the idea of modern quilting because to me it is fresh and new, some times simple.<br /><br />Very exciting V! What do you have up your sleeve??Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453095369526864932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563519444833162128.post-53047300175201388172011-01-14T14:29:21.327-05:002011-01-14T14:29:21.327-05:00I would love to hear quilt designers, fabric desig...I would love to hear quilt designers, fabric designers and modern bloggers speak! <br /><br />Some assorted names: Kaffe Fassett, Denise Schmidt (the queen of modern quilting, in my opinion), Amy Butler, Heather Ross, Heather Bailey, anyone from Moda (talking about their pre-cut lines and Moda Bake Shop), bloggers like Camille Roskelly, Quilt Dad (talking about Fat Quarterly, etc), someone from Sew, Mama, Sew. etc. An interesting mix of people in the quilting industry and amateur/professional quilters and designers would be great! <br /><br />I think of all of these people when I think of modern quilting, especially in connection with modern fabrics, the online quilitng movement and blogging.<br /><br />I would absolutely attend a panel discussion, either on a Friday or a Saturday! Can't wait to hear any details about a spossible event!Nicole @ Patchwork Duck Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475525219973586898noreply@blogger.com
