Quilting is no longer only a hand stitched utility mended by a fire. It's anyone who sews it together, it's all the amazing fabrics and designs available, it's a mindset of using new fabric in a traditional design, a way for people to create art and enjoy the process as a group in a bee, guild or at home with a couple of friends. I think the term came about from freedom: pattern or no pattern, by hand or by machine, use new, vintage or reproduction fabrics. Whatever goes, it's a Modern attitude and it will keep quilting going!SewLindaAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658372209673891397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-39079860969401880942012-04-30T10:43:35.006-06:002012-04-30T10:43:35.006-06:00Modern quilting to me is taking old favorite block...Modern quilting to me is taking old favorite blocks and using new bright fun fabrics!

Later, when I'm sorting my books (again!) I find that I have three copies each of several different books. This happens to me several times a year. My quilting friends love it when they see me carrying a stack of books. I either need to carry a list of my books or stop buying them, like that's going to happen. I did just check all my books, I don't have even one copy of this book, though it is on my wish list at Amazon.JoAnne in southern Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148803029813063934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-70516577822523144542012-04-26T02:17:59.068-06:002012-04-26T02:17:59.068-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.JoAnne in southern Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148803029813063934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-35169750948596197732012-04-25T23:36:39.379-06:002012-04-25T23:36:39.379-06:00Modern Quilting for me indicates a large emphasis ...Modern Quilting for me indicates a large emphasis on both color and negative space.
