Rossie of Fresh Modern Quilts gave a lecture on modern quilting. She describes it as:
"This lecture on modern quilting describes my journey as well as giving the lay of the modern-quilting land. I cover what I see as some key aesthetics of modern quilts, I ponder the appropriateness of the term "modern" as it applies to quilts, and generally get nerdy on a number of topics that relate---in my brain, anyway--to modern quilting. Among them: wabi sabi, simultaneity, linen clocks, and Bewitched."
An hour long video about modern quilting.
An hour?
Yes.
And ever bit worth it.
Grab some tea, coffee or whatever you drink and have a listen.

Modern Quilters: growing and learning together
As the officers of the Portland Modern Quilt Guild gather information from members, one thing is crystal clear: Portland Modern Quilters want to be inspired, have fun, meet other quilters, and learn and grow together.

Some have experienced strong support and encouragement from other quilters in the past, but some have felt discouraged by quilting instructors or shop owners along the way. Jacquie (Tallgrass Prairie Studio) has a must read post on her blog today featuring her reaction and response to the questions and discouragement of a new sewer/quilter.
Have you been discouraged rather than encouraged by a more experienced sewer/quilter? Are you mentoring/encouraging new sewers/quilters?
