#modern quilt
That is the title of the lecture I’m presenting at the Austin Modern Quilt Guild on February 9th at 6:30pm. It is being held in the absolutely lovely space of Form and Fabric. Psst, head on over to Form and Fabric’s site, a sale is going on until the 25th!
The lecture will cover the philosophy of modern quilting and how it impacts modern quilt design. I’ll also give a brief history of modern quilting and its early influencers, with an eye toward the tension that exists between the philosophy and aesthetics of modern quilting. I’ll also provide a review of common design features in modern quilting and key quilters in the movement.
More details are on the Austin Modern Quilt Guild site. Hope to see you there!
Finally, THANK YOU to all the quilters who are letting me feature their work in my presentation!

Disclaimer: I always said to myself I’d never feature my own work on this site. I’m making an exception in this case.
