Nicole will describe her journey as a quilter and discuss features of the modern quilting movement, including the online community and different styles and techniques of modern quilting. Nicole Neblett is a modern quiltmaker, designer, instructor, and blogger. Nicole’s quilting life started in 2001 with the first quilt she made, a traditional sampler, but it wasn’t until she discovered the modern quilting movement in 2010 that she embraced modern quilting. Taking inspiration from everyday objects and places, she enjoys crafting quilts with vivid colors and graphic designs. Her work incorporates modern design principles with traditional and improvisational techniques to create quilts that fuse the traditional with the contemporary. Her work has been featured in places such as Sew Mama Sew, Modern Patchwork, Modern Quilts Unlimited, Craft Gossip, FaveQuilts, and QuiltCon. She teaches modern quilting workshops at places like Spoonflower and Thimble Pleasures. You may find what she’s been stitching at her blog, Mama Love Quilts.

Our January meeting, January 20th, will be our bi-annual guild silent auction. I hope you have sorted through your quilting related stuff and picked out items that you no longer want. Group your items rather than include individual small items. When you get to the meeting, we will have tables set up and forms will be available for you to set the initial price and the bid increment. All of the proceeds go to the guild, so please take advantage of a very fun activity. Once the auction is set up, I will set a timer and let everyone look at everything and bid on items you want. The high (last) bidder at the end of the appointed time will win and will pay for the items at the “cashier”. Anything that does not get a bid will go home with the person that brought it to the auction. You will be able to pay for items you win with a check or with cash. I suggest bringing some singles and quarters as many items will increment at $0.25 with each successive bidder. If you plan to do some serious shopping, you may want to bring tote bags or cardboard boxes …
