\"momentum\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week I want to continue the conversation about what I saw at the Dairy Barn last week. The “Mastery: Sustaining Momentum” is a powerful exhibit curated by Nancy Crow, which takes a bold stand somewhere between Contemporary Quilting and Modern Quilting.<\/p>\n

* The group of 3 quilts at the top of this image are by Colleen Kole, from Grand Rapids, Michigan.<\/p>\n

* The bottom left corner features the hand-dyes<\/a> of its maker: Heidi Stoll-Weber, who lives in Frankfurt Germany.<\/p>\n

* The bottom right corner quilt, with bold swooping shapes in solid colors<\/a>, is by Marina Kamenskaya, from Wauconda, Illinois.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind these are very LARGE quilts, and they were made in sets of 3 for this show!<\/p>\n

I believe that this exhibit demonstrates a sea-change, a metamorphosis that is occurring in the quilting world. The spare, clean, modern design aesthetic espoused by the Modern Quilters<\/a>, is now influencing contemporary quilting and creating a fascinating mutation.<\/p>\n

Modern quilters have been inspired by Nancy Crow, and now she has gathered a group of fellow quilters who seem to be inspired by *both* Nancy and Modern Quilting…consciously or unconsciously?…and here is the result.<\/p>\n

I urge you to see this show before it closes November 27. If you can’t make it to the show, pick up a book<\/a> and try to imagine the huge gallery full of groups of 3 by each artist. It makes a huge statement about where we’ve been, and where we are going. I can see a museum or corporate collector snapping up these groups of 3, so this powerful visual statement can be enjoyed by the general public.<\/p>\n

I’ve been posting more photos from the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham<\/a> UK… Enjoy!<\/p>\n

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
