I recently joined the Fort Worth chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild. I'm finding it a really wonderful group. Several friends from my fiber art group have also joined, so I am among kindred spirits. And the room is full of a great deal of excitement, enthusiasm and energy that has been missing in the more traditional quilt guilds I have belonged to.
Last night, members unveiled their Michael Miller challenge pieces. There were quite a few participants, including my friends Jay and Rhonda.
And we had a teeny tiny quilt exchange. Each participant had to pick a charm square out of a bag and use it to make a small piece. A mug rug, which as I understand it is a largish coaster.
My contribution is in the bottom row, second from the right. It was one of the smaller ones, but it was rather large in coaster terms. 7 1/2" square. And this is the one I received in return, made by Jenn:
I've put it in my studio, on my sewing table, so that I can put my coffee mug or water glass on it while I work. Cool!
