2022 Theme - Exploring Modern
April Meeting topic : Modern Traditionalism
What is Modern Traditionalism? The term " Modern Traditionalism" generally refers to any quilt that has a traditional pattern, block, or design as its foundation, modernized in some way using one or more modern techniques.
- we saw an educational video on how to create modern blocks
- we divided into groups for hands on exercises to turn traditional blocks into modern ones.
