The
Chicago Modern Quilt Guild and the
Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild made some connections, mostly thanks to
Camp Stitchalotand QuiltCon 2015. A swap of mini quilts was proposed, and several of us in both guilds jumped all over it!. My swap partner has not yet received hers - all Chicago minis are in the mail. I used fabrics from designer
Alison Glass and wove them over a neutral background. I love the back almost as much as the front - it's Art Gallery's fabric "I am a Maker". The wool batting gives the machine quilting a nice dimension that isn't very visible in these pictures. The Ann Arbor Guild will receive their quilt next Monday!

Meanwhile, the Chicago guild received their minis at last Sunday's meeting. My mini- quilt is a "Give and Care" quilt, Brenda Gray's homage to Swiss Army blankets. Brenda honored my color preference and told me about her uncles who died during World War II. That my dad and uncles were veterans who survived this war makes Brenda's story even more meaningful.
Give and Care? It's what quilters do!
