Central Florida Modern Quilt Guild continues to meet via Zoom, and last evening, 19 members attended.
For those of you who haven’t yet joined us, we invite you to give it a try.
For one thing, we’d love to see you!
For another, we’d like to see what’s been keeping you busy since our March face-to-face meeting!
Please join us!
Saturday Sew-In – September 12 – 12:30 to 2:30 pm
Monday meeting – September 14 – 7 to 9 pm
A secure Zoom link will be emailed to members the day of each Zoom get-together.
Last evening we enjoyed a beautiful Show and Tell presentation. Click the screen below to see it, including quilt details. But as we’re learning, it’s even better getting to hear the quilt maker talk about her project during the meeting – a chance to ask questions about each project, so the sharing part of Show and Tell is better than ever!
In addition to Show and Tell, we saw current Block-of-the-Month blocks members are making.
Click on the screen at left to see Skill Builder Blocks being made following Pile ‘O Fabrics.
If you’re one of us who enjoy Zoom, and want to take a workshop from home, here’s a list of quilter/designers offering virtual classes. Quilters are recognizing that it will be a long time before we can take face-to-face classes, and we have lots of opportunities to keep learning! Tap a name to see more of their work:
