Material Mavens: Kathy's "Majestic"

Kathy's "Majestic"

Kathy's Majestic

The first thoughts that came to my mind for "Majestic" were some lyrics from my most favorite Patriotic song, "America the Beautiful,"

"Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain.

For purpled mountains "MAJESTY"

Above the fruited plane.

AMERICA, AMERICA,

God shed His Grace on Thee,

And crown Thy good

With brotherhood.

From Sea to Shining Sea."

In looking through my Fabric "Stash" I found this almost as "perfect as could be" piece of Patriotic Fabric. Although the words to this song are different, the impact they have on me for Patriotism is just about the same.

Thank you for this amazing opportunity to express ourselves in such a variety of ways.

GOD BLESS AMERICA MY HOME SWEET HOME !

GOD BLESS AMERICA, MY HOME SWEET HOME !

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.
