We had an incredible day in Ventura, California today with the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild, participating in National Quilt-In-Public Day. In 2005, American knitting enthusiast Danielle Landes had the wonderful idea of encouraging knitters all over the world to leave the comfort of their own homes and to go out and knit in public—and the …
The Ventura Modern Quilt Guild hosted a ‘Round Robin’ earlier this year. In a round robin, several people create a center “medallion” block. Each block is passed to the next person on the list.

Hey! It’s Greg, again. I had to post because I FINALLY FINISHED SOMETHING! And, of course, Benny had to check it out… A couple of years ago, several of the modern quilt blogs had a “scrappy trip-around-the-world sew along” and I was in love with the look of the quilts. I was going to school …

One of the advantages of belonging to a guild is the opportunity to get to hear some very talented people talk about their art and take a class from these teachers. Saturday I was able to join Grace Errea for a one-day workshop. She gave a wonderful lecture at the Glendale Quilt Guilds monthly meeting. …
It isn’t often that I have the chance to take a class lately. When I heard that Sherri Lynn Wood was going to be in Los Angeles I knew that I had to sign-up. I’ve always been a fan of her work. Sherri’s use of color and improv piecing is fantastic. Fifteen ladies and I …
Greg and I spent last Saturday with the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild at their bi-annual Modern Meet-Up. Twenty-Four quilters met at MAKE Ventura for an incredible day of sewing, socializing, and silliness. VMQG President, Georganna Hawley, taught everyone how to make a small, zippered bag from thousands of selvages she had brought, everyone got an …
