Next Meeting, SUNDAY, March 25 th - 1:30 - 4:00pm
Our next meeting will be "less meeting and more quilting fun"! It is also "double punch" day at Quilter's Paradise!
So, bring your quilting project and sewing machine and we'll have a good time! If you would like to bring a snack to share, feel free!
The Clovis Antique Show is that weekend, so Pollasky St. won't be available for parking. QP's told me that we can go down the one-way alley, the wrong way, and park in their parking lot! Just be careful!
Springtime in the Valley Quilt Show will be Saturday and Sunday, March 24th and 25th from 10:00am - 4:00pm at The Golden Palace - 2625 W. Vassar Ave., Fresno. The show will include over 200 quilts and wearable arts by local San Joaquin Valley residents!
The Modern Quilt Guild will be having it's very first quilt show - Quilt Con! It will be in Austin, TX, February 21-24, 2013. More info at www.quiltcon.com.
Also, I am putting together a Member Directory, so if you would send me your email address and phone number, I can have it ready for our March meeting!
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, March 25th!

Where Does Our Inspiration Come From?
This is the question we will be asking ourselves before our next meeting!
I thought I'd share a little bit about what inspires me, but first I was curious to read some definitions of inspiration and I really liked this one: stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity.
For me, that's being out in nature! It's walking down a gravel path, listening to the "crunch" under my feet, then looking down and seeing the texture and color of all the pebbles. It's walking past a rosebush and seeing the symmetry of the petals circling toward the tight bud at the center. Anytime I'm near water, I get a rush of creative thought! Be it a stream, a waterfall, a lake, the ocean or a water feature in someone's backyard, the movement of water brings beautiful patterns to my mind!
Funny thing, that while I'm "waxing poetic" about how nature inspires me, I found inspiration for my next quilt in an unexpected place - the Crate and Barrel catalog! It's always fun to be creatively surprised, isn't it?
Please take a moment before our next meeting and post below what inspires you! It will benefit us all to wrap our right brains around new ways of creative thought!
Bring your thoughts and ideas with you to our next meeting and share your creative process! This just maybe the framework for our swap!
Also, bring a pattern idea with you, so we can talk about a quilt-along!
Can't wait to see you February 25th @ 3:00!

OUR FIRST GUILD MEETING AT QUILTER'S PARADISE!
Hi Everyone,
Well, we've hit our first milestone! We've found a home at Quilter's Paradise!
Kathy, Barbara and Colette are thrilled to have us and our supportive of our growth as The Fresno Modern Quilt Guild!
Our first meeting will be Saturday, January 28 from 3:00 - 4:00. Also, February 25 and March 24 from 3:00- 4:00. So put them on your calendars. I know that one hour will not be enough down the road, but know that QP will work with us regarding our time allotment!
I'm going to call our first meeting "Blue Sky", because it invokes the feeling I'd like this meeting to have!
In otherwards, "wide open"! I will have a loose agenda that I will send to you sometime before our meeting, but I would really like us to just talk, throw out ideas, and get to know one another!
Afterall, it's OUR guild to create the experiences we want to have in our quilting lives!
Please bring quilts to share, if you'd like to!
Can't wait to meet you all!
