Material Mavens: At last! Harmony?

At last! Harmony?

Hi all

I'm very happy to post my little quilt - Harmony? at last, with sincere apologies for the delay. The fabric is tea-dyed calico (I think in the US you call it muslin) with lines of quilting in the form of the five line staves of music. It's bound with a lovely black cotton covered in white musical instruments. I'm pleased with its simplicity in design.

Welcome to the Mavens, Jane! What a clever way to incorporate the harmony of music into a quilt. I love the harmonic convergence of the staves. Thanks for sharing!

Hurrah, Jane! Congratulations on posting your Harmony quilt. I am so glad that you used a musical approach to the quilt! Most clever! I am interested in tea-dyeing, too. I tried it recently, and the results were a total failure. I need to get tips from you.

Jane, so glad you are well and have posted your lovely Harmony quilt. I had thought of music also but mine was more complicated. I love the simplicity of your design. Welcome back!

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.
