Quilt-O-Rama

Indie Vibrations.  Quilt made by Amy Friend of Seacoast MQG
In another life I will make it to Quiltcon, the annual quilt convention hosted by the Modern Quilt Guild going on now though Feb 24.  This year it is in Austin, TX, a place I rekon to be quite charming, with a thriving music and film culture, as well as a robust real estate market (think of that!). 
Simultaneously the Moda Friendship Quilt Along is underway from Feb 18 - Mar 1.  Every day follow three Moda designer's blogs as they design a 9" friendship quilt block.


 
Impracticality.  Quilt made by Angela Walters of Kansas City MQG
As a new quilter I am pleasantly surprised at the wealth of creative resources and communities centered around the art of cutting up fantastic fabrics and piecing them back together.  Who would have thought?
