These quilts are usually where you choose different colors to represent different ranges of temperature and make a block each day to represent the high and the low of that day. Some quilters track a particular year of importance to the quilter and others track the current calendar year. Join in on a group of KCMQG members for a Zoom meeting Saturday\, November 12 at 2pm. Laurel Carty will lead us as we learn all about this quilt concept and form a sew along group for 2023. You will learn how to find free patterns or create your own and where to get temperatures. We’ll discuss lessons and words of advice from others who have made one\, or started and not completed one. You will learn organization tips and tricks and find out what to do if you get behind. Many say the main key is to not think of how you have to make a block every single day but think of it as a block of the month and bulk your tasks. We connect virtually each month in 2023 to cheer each other on and celebrate our progress. Can’t participate on November 12 but want the resource guide and to join the 2023 sew along group\, contact Laurel Carty. \nYou can click here to sign up!

Are quilts art? You might have an answer to the question — but what if it’s the wrong question? Fine art that depicts quilts or incorporates actual quilts are exhibited in museums around the world. In the 1960s\, superstar artists like Robert Rauschenberg and Romare Bearden were doing it; today\, Sanford Biggers\, Tracey Emin\, and Bisa Butler show us that quilts have a place in the vaunted\, exclusive domain of fine art. In this lecture\, “quilt nerd” Mary Fons will examine works of quilt-adjacent art\, from Amy Sherald’s portrait of Michelle Obama to Judy Chicago’s ‘The Dinner Party’ and many others. These works are inspiring and fascinating\, but should quiltmakers be striving for legitimacy in a system that has excluded them for generations? Or is it the highest compliment we can get to be honored in the art world? This lecture will inspire and encourage anyone who loves quilts. \nFriday\, November 11 at 10 a.m. – in person only \nMerriam Community Center\n6040 Slater St\, Merriam\, KS 66202 \nFree to KCMQG members with RSVP – Link to RSVP – no fee \n$10 for non-members – Click here to sign up URL:https://kcmqg.com/event/mary-fons-lecture-sold-quilts-in-fine-art/ LOCATION:Merriam Community Center\, 6040 Slater St\, Merriam\, KS\, 66202\, United States CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://kcmqg.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Screen-Shot-2022-09-14-at-9.00.38-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221110T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221110T203000 DTSTAMP:20260503T043224 CREATED:20220915T193840Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221020T180702Z UID:10541-1668105000-1668112200@kcmqg.com SUMMARY:November 2022 Meeting: Mary Fons DESCRIPTION:Mary Fons lives a quiltful life. You might already know Mary from her lectures at QuiltCon\, her work as Quiltfolk magazine’s editor-in-chief\, her time at Quilty magazine\, her appearances on Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting\, reading her articles on quilt history and culture in all your favorite quilt magazine\, or tuning in to her Quilt Nerd video magazine.

Betsy will be discussing her interests of quilting and fashion sewing\, exploring how the two intersect in the modern fashion world and how you can combine them in your own sewing world. \nBetsy Blodgett’s early interest in fashion and textiles led to a career in the sewing industry\, which began when she opened bon bon atelier\, a fabric store and sewing studio. She then focused her attention on the design side of the business working with pattern companies Indygo Junction and The Sewing Workshop. In 2016 she launched her podcast Hello Atelier\, a show that explores what it means to be a working artist. Traveling for the podcast\, she found creative inspiration meeting artists and exploring new communities and decided that she needed to bring that experience to the world. Hello Voyager was launched in 2018 as a textile experience production company. Home to the Grand Textile Tours\, which take design-loving guests all over the world\, Hello Voyager is dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind travel experiences that guests can tap into as inspiration in their own studios.

If you haven’t joined\, what are you waiting for? Click here for info. \nDate: January 11\, 2020\nTime: 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM. If anyone would like make additional pouches or sew on other projects\, we can stay until 4:00 \nLocation\nThe Fabric Chic\n170 English Landing Dr\nParkville\, MO 64152 \nThis custom pouch can be made from a vintage\, or modern dish towel or other kitchen linens. Or use any interesting fabric from quilting cotton (great for featuring a large print motif) cotton canvas\, cotton/linen blends or home decor fabric. Most dish towels are 16″ – 20″ wide and can make a pouch that is 12″ – 14″ tall. You can make a larger or smaller project\, depending on the fabric you wish to feature. \nYou will need: \n\nA dish towel or other textile to be used for the front and back of your pouch. You will need two pieces of equal size\, so a towel that is cut in half or a towel with coordinating fabric for the back. If you are using other fabric\, a half yard or two fat quarters that coordinate will be sufficient.\nYou will need a coordinating fabric for binding the zippers and the circumference of the pouch\, OR a coordinating color of extra wide\, double fold bias tape (.5″). You will need about 2 to 2.5 yards of two inch wide binding\, so one 3 yard package of bias tape or a fat quarter of coordinating fabric will be enough. I will have two bias tape making machines at the workshop which we can use to quickly make the bias tape (without burning fingers!) If you would like to prepare in advance\, cut 2″ bias strips of fabric and join them to make one piece 2″ wide by 2.5 yards long.\nA zipper that is wider than the width of your towel (or desired project width). Please select nylon teeth zipper (not metal) – a 22″ garment zipper is great\, a purse or handbag zipper works fine\, as well. Nylon zippers can easily be cut to size\, if a smaller size is needed.\nYour sewing machine and general sewing notions.\nA walking foot can be very helpful\, as well as a zipper foot.\nA ruler that is at least 18″ long.\nWonder tape is also very handy for installing the zipper.\n\nYour class fee will include vinyl and decor bond. If you wish to make more pouches\, these supplies are available for purchase at the Fabric Chic. \nEach participant will receive: \n\n1/2 yard of Decor Bond (Pellon 809) a 1/2 yard – enough for one average size pouch or possibly two smaller ones.\n1/2 yard of 12 gauge clear vinyl – a half yard of 58″ vinyl will make several pouches – for one pouch\, you need a piece as large as your finished project – about 16″ x 15″.\n\nThe Fabric Chic has a variety of zipper colors as well as vinyl and decor bond. \nClick here to register!

Your first visit is free! Be sure to bring your finished quilts and projects to share at Show & Tell! \nOur November speaker will be Cheryl Brady. \nWhen the door closed on her Japan Airline flight from LA to Kansaii on January 13\, 2019\, Cheryl Brady quickly suspected she wasn’t in Kansas anymore. Thirteen hours later she arrived to meet 20 quilters from six countries who would be her fellow adventurers for two weeks. \nPractically everything was foreign\, but Cheryl did recognize boro\, patchwork\, big stitching\, sashiko\, shibori and indigo. She knew from several Instagram quilters she follows that these techniques were being practiced in the USA. Through hands-on visits in Kyoto\, Nagoya and Tokyo\, culminating in a day visit to the Tokyo International Quilt show\, she witnessed the beauty of these techniques. \nJoin Cheryl as she highlights her travels and observations about the state of modern quilting in Japan compared to the USA. She will showcase two of her favorite Japanese quilters and share selected photos\, souvenirs and quilts she made upon her return. Rest assured\, this presentation will not be your typical Grandpa’s travelogue. \nAbout Cheryl: \nCheryl’s mother and grandmother were skilled sewists; they and 4-H leaders were her first teachers. As a working mom\, Cheryl’s sewing was limited to Halloween costumes and Snoopy outfits. However\, as her consulting work waned\, she looked for more creative outlets and returned to interests in sewing and textiles. Her first meeting at the KCMQG in 2012 featured Weeks Ringle. When she circulated her quilts for up-close examination\, Cheryl knew she had to know more. \nTrips to Seattle last summer to learn about Yukata cottons and to Japan are her latest projects. She currently chairs the KCMQG’s Grant Committee\, which she enjoys because it supports the continuing learning of our members. 2019 is her final year of a three-year term on the MQG Board of Directors. She co-chairs Mission Sewing at Village Church.

Her grandmothers were makers of clothing and quilts for themselves and others\, and their hands were often busy with embroidery\, knitting or crocheting. Marilyn’s love of fabric\, color and texture\, undoubtedly\, must have come to her naturally.\nThis love would lead to learning different skills whenever there was an opportunity\, and so it was with quilting. In 1981\, she took quilting classes with a group of co-workers and made a handpieced\, hand quilted sampler quilt. However\, her next quilt wouldn’t come for another twenty years or so. That was when Marilyn started noticing new quilting tools\, faster and easier piecing using the sewing machine\, and above all\, colorful new fabrics that she became excited about quilting again. \nWhen The Modern Quilt Guild was beginning in Los Angeles\, Marilyn really wished for something like it in Kansas City. Within a few months\, the KC Modern Quilt Guild was forming and she couldn’t wait to attend its very first meeting. New friends\, new experiences\, and opportunities for learning new skills–she had found her community.\nMarilyn also loves spending time with her family\, especially her adult children and grandchildren. She loves to travel and finds inspiration in discovering new and different places. \nJudy Chaffee:\nJudy learned to sew from her mother and began making garments at a young age. While pursuing her Bachelor’s degree at Southern Illinois University\, she taught men’s tailoring\, the construction of leather goods\, draping\, and flat pattern making. But it was her Master’s degree in Textiles that really sparked her interest in fabric itself. In 1971\, she completed a groundbreaking thesis on the effects of environmental pollutants on fiber degradation. So it is not surprising that Judy’s quilting so often explores the qualities and possibilities of fabric as a medium. She is known for the manipulation of fabrics\, screen-printing\, fabric painting\, and thread painting. Additionally\, Judy’s quilts are invariably marked by her interest in the way fabric can be a carrier for emotional meaning and familial memory. \nVisitors are always welcome. Your first visit is free! \nBe sure to bring your finished quilts and projects to share at Show & Tell!
