It’s our holiday gift to you! We hosted a two-part My Word virtual mini quiltalong (FREE!) on January 4 during a livestream on the Modern Quilt Studio Facebook page. You can view recordings of those livestreams on our YouTube channel:
We will feature user-submitted photos of your quilts in a Virtual Exhibition, coming later. You can submit an image of your work here:
You will need either Modern Quilts Illustrated #16 (only available in print) OR the digital download of the My Word pattern. The digital download includes all letters, numbers, some punctuation and includes special letter combinations that solve spacing problems for some words. You can make any quilt you like for the quiltalong, as long as it incorporates the My Word alphabet. Need a suggestion? The patterns (in the magazine and the digital download) include the throw-size/wall hanging quilt and simple 16″x12″ monogrammed/initials pillow shown below:
In The My Word alphabet pattern (Modern Quilts Illustrated #16 and the initial downloadable pattern), for the letter P, the D piece measures 1¾”×1½”. For the letter Z, the C piece measures 2½”×4″. The current version of the downloadable pattern has been corrected. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
Recordings of the two livestreams have been added to our YouTube channel:
Participants are welcome to share their progress on the Modern Quilt Studio Patterns and Fabrics group on Facebook.
