I have posted before about my guild’s Quilt “Lake Superior Sunrise” that I designed and we produced as part of the Modern Quilt Guild’s Charity Quilt Challenge for QuiltCon 2018.
Here is the completed top in all it's glory:
The digital pattern is for sale on my online store , wildonionstudio and a portion of the proceeds of each pattern sold go to my local guild. So you can sew your very own sunrise!!!!
Here's the blocks being laid out:
But, GREAT NEWS! The quilt itself is currently being raffled for charity! Yes, YOU CAN WIN THIS QUILT!!!!! It is possible to purchase tickets even if you don’t live locally by contacting our guild’s treasurer, Claudia at collectorcal@yahoo.com or visit the Lake Superior Modern Quilt Guild website to get all the details by clicking here! The proceeds go to an area women's shelter, and to our Guild's education fund. We are so happy to have chosen the Safe Haven shelter as the recipient of the monies collected, as well as the recipients of our year long effort called Project Pouch! The drawing to win the quilt will be held at our guild meeting on August 9th. Good luck!
Here's the quilt finally coming together in my studio!
I’m so excited to share that the quilt is featured on the Modern Quilt Guild’s QuiltCon website at this link where you can read all about its inspiration and construction. Click that link and check it out!!!
Enjoy! Toot TOOOOOOT!!!!!!! There goes that horn! LOL!
We had such a great time making this quilt that we are all ready to start producing our Charity Quilt entry for QuiltCon 2019! Just look at this color palette!
We are so excited to get started TODAY! I've already created a new design and our guild is hosting a Sew-In tonight to start working on it. It is so much fun. If you have a local guild, I highly recommend joining. It's a great source of inspiration, camraderie, and support from people who love the same things you do. There's a list of Modern Guilds on the MQG website, but I'm sure you could ask at your trusty local quilt store too. And if there isn't one, consider starting it! You have nothing to lose, and a lot to gain! Check it out, you won't be sorry!
