Stitch Modern

Stitch Modern. Love that title. Its the second annual exhibition of the East Bay Modern Quilt Guild. Beautiful quilts!

In case you are in the San Francisco Bay area, it is absolutely worth checking out in person.  Through February 24th at the Piedmont Center for the Arts. Gallery Hours: Friday, Saturday and Sunday 12-3.  Plus of course its open during Stitch Modern Special Events.

Too many photos to sort through for one post so this will be divided into 4 entries over the next week, so stay tuned…

Quilting Circles with “I want to cut you”

Lauren of “I want to cut you” fame and the East Bay Modern Quilt Guild updated her progress on her quilt using Tokyo Rococo and it is simply stunning.  The tutorial for the quilt top can be found by clicking here, and for the quilting (gorgeous!) by clicking here.   All about circles! I love the combinations of neutrals with the quilt stitching and then the printed fabrics are like little accents on the rich layering of neutral textures.

Take a gander!
