Deep Dive into the OKCMQG Fall Quilt Show

The Quilt Show committee will share details to help us all prepare for the up-coming quilt show.  We will learn more about how each of us can participate, build a successful fundraiser, grow as a community, and have a great time.  Lela O'Dell will do a historical quilt presentation and we will share our Its Hip to be Square member challenge as well as those stylish shoes.

 

Words April Member Challenge

Member Challenge   A Challenge Mini is a small quilt inspired by the suggestion of a monthly prompt. “Small” being approximately 12”x12”, but we are modern, so whatever works for you is perfect. The prompt, a single word, or set of guidelines, is announced at our monthly guild meeting. A day or two afterward it can be found on the OKCMQG Facebook page. The minis offer opportunities to experiment and expand creative quilty horizons. Participation in any given month is optional. Jump in - or out - as life allows. The Challenge Mini prompt for May is:   Create a quilt or block inspired by paint chip colors representing your initials Choose 3 paint chips whose color names begin with your initials.  Match the chips, as closely as you can, to fabric.  Add other fabrics as you like.  Create your mini using one or more of the following guidelines:  1.  Use only existing scraps  2. Work from the center of your piece, building outward  3. Use improvisational cutting and piecing  4. Use only one shape repeatedly  5. Explore minimalism

NOT NOTHING, Negative Space with Sarah Atlee

What is "negative space" and what does it have to do with quilts? In her presentation NOT NOTHING, Sarah Atlee will explore the roles that "emptiness" can play in your quilting practice. Sarah will introduce negative space as a design element and share examples of its use in other art forms. She will also give you strategies tor using negative space as a tool for moving from traditional to more modern quilt designs. We will share our Paint Chip Initials member challenge and learn more about the upcoming Quilt Show.
