Here are the details if you are participating in the Fat Quarter Swap or the Block-Of-The-Month.  I would love to see the design wall full of scrappy spiderweb blocks!  They are so much fun to make.

 

October Swap

The holidays are just around the corner, so the October swap will RED & GREEN FAT QUARTERS. To participate in the swap bring:

1 Fat quarter that is mostly RED
1 Fat quarter that is mostly GREEN

The fabric does NOT need to be holiday themed but should be "modern" and read as mostly red or mostly green.

October BOM

The block-of-the-months are a fun way to try different online blocks and tutorials. Try your hand at this month's BOM and let's have a great collection for the drawing. Bring 1 block for 1 chance to win, 2 blocks for 2 chances...

The block this month is Broken Spiderweb and the tutorial can be found here at House of A La Mode. Our color theme this month: Bright & scrappy with a light colored center.

 

 

Barnful of Quilts - Recap

Courtney did a very nice recap of yesterday's Barnful of Quilts.  Go HERE to read about it and see Fran's fabulous CMQG banner!

A Ribbon Winner!

CONGRATULATIONS to Elizabeth Phillippi for earning a ribbon at this weekend's Cabarrus quilt show.  Elizabeth's quilt won Honorable Mention in the Large Wall Quilt - Longarm/Midarm Machine Quilted category.  This was her very first entry into a quilt show. Way to go!!!

Her quilt was a beautiful scrappy storm at sea quilt that some of you got to see in person at one of our recent Sew & Tells.  Fellow modern guild member, Jenn Reeves  (Honu Quilting website), did the gorgeous machine quilting for the quilt.  What a great team.

The show runs through tomorrow (10/6) at the Cabarrus Arena in Concord, NC.  Hours on Saturday are 10-5.  And don't forget the Barnful of Quilts on Saturday...

 

Barnful of Quilts

Saturday 10/6 is the 10th annual Barnful of Quilts in Waxhaw. It will be held from 10-5 at the Fox Family Farm at 7505 Sims Road (704-516-8060). The Charlotte Modern Quilt Guild will have an information booth at the show and several of our members have quilts that will be in the show. The proceeds benefit Samaritan's Purse.

Lots of quilty goodness this weekend.
