<div style="text-align: left;">
Due to concerns about the Corona virus, our <b>Monday, April 6</b> meeting has been cancelled. Our program was to have been sharing Mid-Century Modern Artist challenge quilts. <a href="https://centralfloridamqg.blogspot.com/2020/01/january-13-meeting-and-challenge.html" target="_blank">The challenge was presented at our January meeting.</a></div>

Marie @pottersewer used the linen quilt sandwich and threads - given to everyone to try big stitch quilting at the February meeting - to continue stitching designs to fill the fabric, and then sewed it into a zipper pouch. It's lovely, Marie! </div>

Because 13 of our members attended QuiltCon from February 20-23, our meeting will be a "QuiltCon Review." Everyone who attends will offer a perspective and information about their experiences. We'll hear about the quilts; trends in modern; swag bags; special displays; vendors; classes and instructors; volunteering; how the QuiltCon app worked; and perhaps even about first-time meet-ups with Instagram friends! </div>

Following the raging bush fires in Australia that covered more than 10 million hectares (that's more than 24 million acres), quilters there put out a call for quilt blocks to be made into quilts for those who have suffered as a result. Blocks will be turned into quilts by members of the <a href="https://community.themodernquiltguild.com/guild/wollongong-mqg" target="_blank">Wollongong Modern Quilt Guild</a>, and given to victims, families of victims, and firefighters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks to an initiative led by our member, Becky, 16 tree blocks will be delivered to QuiltCon in Austin, where the MQG is collecting them to be shipped to Australia. </div>

We first met at Sharky's Vac 'n Sew, now called Sew Together, in Wildwood.<br />

Some of us joined Instagram as soon as it became the place to find other quilters, and then followed along when IGers began making Trip Around the World quilts. Former member Sheddy shared a program about it.<br />

Linda intended to enter the 2020 QuiltCon Indah Batiks Challenge, but didn't follow the rules (only solid batiks could be added to the five print batiks). She finished it anyway. Her 32" X 39-1/2" batik quilt is called "Break the Rules: Jewels," and was cut using the jewel shape of a Hex 'n More ruler. Linda quilted with rulers and free motion quilting on her Bernina 770, and finished it with a facing.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our chapter will make a Charity Quilt Challenge for QuiltCon 2020.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For those unfamiliar with the QuiltCon Charity Quilt Challenge, you'll want to know that the charity aspect of the quilt follows QuiltCon. After the quilt is displayed at QuiltCon (February 20-23, 2020) in Austin, along with dozens of other quilts made by MQG chapters, it will be</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> returned to us. For the third year in a row, we anticipate donating our quilt to</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> the annual silent auction portion of The Villages "Time to Give Back Golf Tournament and Dinner" to be held in June, 2020.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Following the theme dictated by the Modern Quilt Guild <a href="https://www.quiltcon.com/charity-quilt-challenge-2020" target="_blank">(complete information here)</a>, we'll make a <i>text</i> quilt. In addition to fulfilling size requirements, the quilt must include at least one pieced word that's central to the overall design theme. This color palette has been designated by the MQG: white, shades of gray, and black.</span><br />

<div class="">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The committee selected the<a href="https://liveartgalleryfabrics.com/free-quilting-patterns/" target="_blank"> Art Gallery pattern "Acoustics,"</a> and the theme "Science, Technology, Engineering and Math" (STEM). STEM is the foundation for so much of what we do each day, including sewing and quilting - from fabric creation, to pattern design, to high tech sewing, the quilting machines we use, and beyond. STEM is part of it all. </span></div>

<div class="">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">STEM also nicely fits with QuiltCon's <i>text</i> theme. In keeping with requirements, the word <i>EXPLORE</i> will be pieced into fabric. (See the word in the design above.) Science, technology, engineering and math allow us to continue to <i>explore, </i>and consider what's possible in the future.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The committee is now collecting fabrics and will be asking chapter members to participate in sewing blocks, as well as becoming involved in later steps such as piecing backing, basting the quilt sandwich, quilting, binding, labeling, and attaching a quilt sleeve. Please be thinking about how you might help.</span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After our Show and Tell, CHALLENGES for 2020 was an exciting topic. Beth had the creative sides of our minds reeling with all of her fantastic options! This is Beth with a her quilt made from repurposed fabric, which was supplied by Sherri Lyn Wood's "dump-diving" project. This quilt was on the <i>front page</i> of a <i>Curated Quilts</i> issue this past year. Repurposed fabric was a popular option from those presented.</div>

<div>
Beth also described her processes of ice-dyeing, solar dyeing, and fabric-stamping, providing dozens of examples that were just gorgeous. She talked of many household items she's used to make her own stamps - including items from hubby's tools in the garage! The following is an example of a piece of fabric that was both dyed, and then stamped by Beth.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b>Sew-In</b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This Saturday, August 10 is our monthly Sew-In at the </span><a href="https://www.marioncountyfl.org/departments-agencies/departments-o-z/public-library-system/library-info/library-locations-and-hours" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Belleview Public Library</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. We gather at about 10 am to hang-out... sew, chat, share what each other's working on, take</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> a little lunch break, and keep sewing until we run out of steam. 😀</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Stop in to sew and say hi! It's a great way to get to know each other better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Second... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b>August<span style="font-family: inherit;"> 12 Meeting</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Due to an unexpected circumstance, Linda H. isn't available to give her long-planned "Big Stitch Quilting" program. 😞 But, she promises to present it at a future, to-be-determined date in 2020. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In </span>lieu of what was planned, we've put our heads together to come up with several - what we think - are interesting meeting topics.<br />
<br />
1) <b>Let's Talk Specialty Rulers</b><br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Any Central Florida MQG member with a quilting technique or project to share is encouraged to talk with President Karen about offering a Sew-In workshop. Everyone enjoys learning, and especially </span><span style="text-align: left;"></span>spending time together. One of the very best aspects of quiltmaking and sewing is being with friends!

"Black Tie Affair" was made by Betty S. It is 37.5 x 37.5. She first made curved pieced blocks, cut them diagonally, and sewed them together "half-square triangle" fashion. She therefore introduced it as our "segway" into the next part of our program featuring half-squared triangles.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For our program, members were asked to bring in both traditional and modern half-square triangle quilts. Our purpose was to discuss how to make traditional more modern, and these quilts inspired much discussion. Modern options were offered, such as adding negative space, eliminating borders, change of fabric choices, asymmetry, changing scale, going "off the grid", etc. While looking at these quilts, think about what changes you would suggest:</div>
