2011 Recap

What a fun year! So many quilt projects. I attribute my involvement with the Austin Modern Quilt Guild as to why I got so much done. I can't tell you how inspiring meetings are! Plus, I attended THREE quilt retreats this year. Lots of quilt tops made... and even a few quilts finished. Oh, and I made a cake from scratch. Happy new year!

Solidarity

Members of the Austin Modern Quilt Guild have collaborated on a solid block quilt to donate to Artists Against Cancer. We call it Solidarity.



Artists Against Cancer is a non-profit organization to help those who work in the arts in their battles against cancer. One of AMQG's most awesome-ist members is currently kicking cancer's ass and we want to help!

This Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Thunderbird Coffee on Manor Road there will be a silent auction of incredible art, including this quilt. All proceeds raised will be given to help our quilting friend Cindy C in her battle with cancer.

This is going to be a great event! If you are in the area on Sunday, please stop by. For a preview of all the wonderful art being donated, click here!

A big shout out to all the AMQG members who donated one or more wonderful blocks! Cindy B, Heather G (aka Modern Day Quilts), Denise, Diana, Meghan (aka Scrambled Megs), Mitzi, Alison (aka Sew and Tell Quilts), Jessica (aka this is a splendid calm), Robin, Claire, Khanh, and Adrienne -- I couldn't have done this without you! Everyone made beautiful blocks. Not to mention that Jessica and Robin donated their time and expertise to long arm this quilt. Thanks again!
