Thank you to Heather for writing this post and for the great pictures!
Last Saturday, a small but enthusiastic group of DC Modern quilters met at the National Gallery’s Sculpture Garden to do some show and tell and handwork.

From top left, clockwise: Detail of Fredrick’s Dresden quilt, detail of Fredrick’s Rose Star quilt, Fredrick and his Williamsburg-inspired quilt, Elle and her improvised baby quilt, Alex’s 100 Quilts for Kids quilt (one of her first ever!), Jess and her chevron quilt, Elle’s 100 Quilts for Kids quilt top, and one of Heather's 100 Quilts for Kids quilts made from bee blocks. |
Even though there were only five of us, the show and tell
alone lasted almost an hour! We were ooing and ahhing over Elle’s prolific
quilt top collection, and amazed by Fredrick’s English paper-pieced Rose
Star quilt! We even drew an audience of tourists and US Park Police
(because he was interested, not because we were breaking the law).
After the show and tell, we settled into some handwork of
English paper piecing and quilt binding.
All and all a successful morning! Can’t wait until next
month (or this Saturday if you are coming to the sewing day at Material
Girls).
