Charleston Modern Quilt Guild

March 23, 2021

Business – Connie opened the meeting at 6:30pm with 25 members and 2 guests on Zoom.

Program – Cathy B. presented Color & More Color.   She defined value, intensity, and hue.  Your eyes will see three things in each color: • What color (its hue or name), • Its lightness or darkness (its value), and • Its brightness or dullness (its intensity).   All of these factors can be considered when designing a quilt. She also mentioned that a color wheel can be very helpful to include colors that may not be our “go to” colors but can add interest to our quilts.  A color wheel can be found at our local quilting stores.  Thank-you Cathy.  

Sew Days  The April 17th sew day will be via Zoom but the May 15th sew day will be in person at Five Eighth Seams.  Yeah!  We will also offer a Zoom option in May.

Charity – Susan B. has made pillowcase kits that can be completed by our members for the Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital.  Please contact Susan at spierzon@bellsouth.net  Please continue to make baby quilts.  

Show & Tell – Sandy, Susan B., Jean, Carol and Irene. The free quilted jacket pattern made by Jean can be found here:   Here is a link to a free toddler quilted jacket,   https://www.smalldreamfactory.com/2012/11/free-pattern-toddler-jacket-size-2t.html

Social Media – Please contact Karyn at 1220Karyn@gmail.com to be added to our private Facebook group.  

Jennifer is investigating the idea of a shop hop with lunch.  The idea is to visit out local quilt shops and meet up for lunch.

Here is something fun:  The Lake City ArtFields Collective is a community arts non profit located in Lake City, South Carolina.  Their annual flagship event, ArtFields is Apr. 23 – May 1.  For more information, https://www.artfieldssc.org/  

The next sew day is April 17 and the next meeting is April 27.
