Almost Reveal Time

We have less than a week before our first big reveal. I would like a clarification on what to include for our post on the 15th. I know that we post a photo, but what else as far as written info?

I have time this weekend because we didn't get to travel to Northern CA to see our grandson due to the huge blackout in San Diego County! We were at the airport right after it happened and were interviewed by ABC news! We rescheduled our cancelled Thursday flight to Friday which was also cancelled! We decided to stay home!

Great question Barbara. I personally would love to know what inspired each of us to make what we made, and explain the techniques used.

I think Andrea has put it very well! In addition, your title should include your name and the word harmony, as in "Alice's Harmony Quilt". If you name your quilt, you might put "Barbara's Harmony Quilt--____________."
It would be fun if the photo was up at the top for all to see immediately! And then a brief description, as Andrea says, discussing your inspiration and your techniques. We might keep these brief, but a few days later, if you took "in process" pictures, you might [this is of course optional] post again, this time discussing your quilt at greater length, with the process photos included. IF you took any!

THE MATERIAL MAVENS

We are a group of art quilters who come from various parts of the United States, from the East coast and then south to Arkansas and Texas. We were inspired by the original Twelve by Twelve international art quilting group.

Beginning in September, 2011, we started posting our 12"x 12" art quilts, which were based on themes chosen in turn by our members. For Round One, we posted quilts every two months, always on the 15th of the designated months.

Round Two of The Material Mavens began in October, 2014. Some changes were made: quilts were posted every three months, and the quilts could be be either 12"x 12" or rectangular ones measuring 11" x 14", either horizontal or vertical in orientation.

Round Three of The Material Mavens began in July, 2018. Again, changes have been made. Now those members who wish to stay affiliated with the group are free to post quilts every time or every now and then. Two, our blog administrator collected suggested themes from the members who wanted to remain affiliated. These themes were then pulled at random from a "hat," and they were then assigned in order for the posting dates. Since we had 13 members who wanted to remain, we will be posting quilts every 3 months until 2021! This date is significant and appropriate, because 2021 will be the 10th year that our group has been in existence.
