Material Mavens: News from Rita!

News from Rita!

This is Alice, from California!

I just got a call on my cell phone from Rita. She was about to post her quilt, when Randy fell and broke his wrist! She was at the hospital with him.

She wanted me to post and tell everyone that it might be tomorrow or even the next before she can post her quilt! Poor Randy!

Thankfully, he's not in too much pain. I HOPE that means that the break is not a bad one. Too, the wrist broken is his left one, and he is right handed, so two bits of good news.

Stay tuned for her quilt!

Alice

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.
