Modern Monday's 2013 Quilt Exhibition

Remember last year when our Modern Monday group had our first exhibition at Highwic House in Newmarket, Auckland?

 (This is my favourite photo from the exhibition.) 

 Well, seven months later NZ Quilter magazine has written about it.

 

Typically, they refer to quilts they don't include in the photos. If you want a larger copy of the article, this link will take you to it. It annoys me when they talk about quilts and don't have pictures to show what they are talking about. Am I supposed to just imagine the quilts? 

Quilt Exhibition

You are running out of time to get our Monday Modern quilt exhibition at Highwic in Newmarket, Auckland. It closes this Sunday afternoon, 4.30pm, 29 Sept.

This is just some of what you are missing out on ...

New Quilts for Old Beds

Our first Modern Monday quilt exhibition opened yesterday at Highwic, Newmarket, Auckland. It runs until Sunday 29 September. I am looking forward to my morning as the on site question answerer!

There are some lovely photos of our quilts on Flickr you can preview.

Raiding Helen's Stash

A couple of Mondays ago Helen brought along her leftover shop stash to our Modern Monday group. We were able to help ourselves from a massive collection of fat quarters from which we are to make a quilt each to be given to cold children.

I am keen to try something low volume. I really like the quilts Linda makes. So with some help from Linda (so I didn't choose my same old, same old colours) I chose the following fabrics:

I have cut them into parallelograms:

Next step, sewing it all back together. You can see what some of the others in our group are up to with their charity quilts here: Megan, Jacqui and Linda.

Our group's first exhibition is happening very soon at Highwic House in Newmarket, Auckland. It runs from Wednesday September 18 through to Sunday 29th (the first weekend of the school hols). Free parking ... always a bonus in Auckland. If you want to know more, I found this article. We had a bit of a see what we've got a month or so ago and it was lovely to see quilts that were made before our group existed.
