Material Mavens: New Challenge Word!

New Challenge Word!

First, please accept my apology for mistakenly posting my Interwoven quilt on the 14th instead of the 15th. I think I'll pick the middle of the day to post from now on and I should be okay.

The majority of our glorious Interwoven challenge pieces have been submitted and once again I marvel at the diversity, skill, creative interpretation and thought provoking stories underlying each art quilt. These stories truly enhance the viewers visual intake and understanding from the artists perspective. Great job Maven's!

Our next challenge theme is Communication, which can and no doubt will run the gamut of possible interpretations. Have fun and try something totally out of your comfort zone. I look forward to that reveal in March.

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.
