GETTING WONKY With MVQG from Kwilty Pleasures

Miami Valley Quilt Guild invited me

for a 2nd trunk show, this time...

‘Let’s Get WONKY’ presentation.

Log Cabins, Quarter Cabins,

9 Patch and HST

I also show smaller projects I have made

Using the WONKY version of the blocks

This display shows Stars and Churn Dash blocks.

LOG CABIN BLOCKS - THREE WAYS from Kwilty Pleasures

Gather some strips, scraps work just fine.

Let's take a look at THREE OPTIONS to make

a log cabin block.

WONKED UP GHASTLIES! from Kwilty Pleasures

I was part of a small Ghastlies swap many years ago and

I just couldn't figure out what to do with

12 wonderful wonky Ghastlie blocks.

Sew that sat on a shelf for a very long time.

I found some fabric that I knew would be

just perfect for a design I had in mind, FINALLY!

Its the green and white fabric below.

I decided to combine the wonkiness of

the star blocks with some sashing in green

and black cornerstones, very traditional!

But first, some design wall playfulness.

And it all came together in this flimsy!

MORE WONKINESS! from Kwilty Pleasures

Time to work on some more WONKY blocks.

A speaker presentation doesn't just happen.

It takes work to make it fun and engaging.

Found this on-line and what a great reference guide.

9 Patch

Log Cabin

Sawtooth Stars

And the blocks continue to grow!

I am making small projects using WONKY blocks

to show peeps how fun they can be when incorporated into

a small project. No everything has to be a quilt.

Stay tuned for March and when the first

Let's Get Wonky Presentation happens!

If your guild is interested in any of my presentations

or workshops ...

LET'S GET WONKY! from Kwilty Pleasures

I am working on a new Speaker Presentation for quilt guilds.

Let's Get Wonky!

Most of my presentations are with traditional audiences.

Sew my goal is to encourage them to

'step outside the sewing box'

and try something new.

Something liberated, askew, FUN!

Let's break the quilting rules!

LET'S GET WONKY!

HST

Couthouse Square

Log Cabin

And some extras that I'll work into small projects.

I have some time to pull this all together

for the first presentation will be in March, 2025.
