Wendy's invisible spiral block

I have to apologize for no spiral block this month. Actually I had one, but while my sister was visiting and we were out to dinner, the car was broken into. My finished spiral block was stolen. Yes, that's how magnificent it was. Hee hee. Actually, it was in a bag which was stolen. A classic smash and grab. Several cars were broken into so I suppose they weren't after my block after all. Anyway there was no time to create another one. I'll try to get it done along with the new one. All of the blocks are beautiful and so creative. What a group of talented women!

I wanted to let everyone know that you received 2 ribbons at the San Diego Quilt Show last weekend! One for "The Archer" which we've seen and another for "Color Blocks" on which you did incredible quilting! Congratulations!!

If you could apply those kind of odds to something positive, like winning the lottery or some such thing... So sorry to hear of your loss but it seems they didn't steal your sense of humor and healthy perspective. Good on you!

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.
