Little difference between the quilting in the Modern and Traditional quilts.Lisa J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367339236614679822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-67556044354916438672016-07-01T12:41:37.859-04:002016-07-01T12:41:37.859-04:00Thanks for sharing this Elaine.

First of all I want to say that I loved this quilt...I think of it as modern and I was thinking that some of the other traditional quilters might have been annoyed that it took first place in the traditional category.<br /> I like Jaquie Gehrings ( can't spell her name) continuum, that goes from Traditional to Modern to more Modern. I don't think there is too much point in getting hung up on labels. <br /><br /> There still are some people who are hand quilting and I am always in awe when I see hand quilting on a quilt. Although I agree most of us are machine quilting and I also agree there seems to be little difference between the two.<br />Lisa J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367339236614679822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-46253130035211757782016-07-01T11:45:24.958-04:002016-07-01T11:45:24.958-04:00Thank you Jackie for the explanation. I struggle ...Thank you Jackie for the explanation. I struggle with modern - notin doing but seeing what people perceive as modern. In 10 years it will be old. I see so many modern quilt techniques being taught and I just shake my head! The are old techniques! Modern? What is "modern"? For anyone who still has their stash of quilt magazines, go back 10 or 20 years. If using one block repeated in a quilt is traditional, how does one explain a sampler from 1800's? Modern is a relative term. How far back do we go to define traditional? Quilts made from silks, linen, feedsacks - Ancient? Do we create a category for Fortrel (70's) quilts? Tacky? OK, I am being silly here - trying to make a point. Modern is early 2000's? By 2020 - will we have "New Modern"? Wonderful discussion - thank you Cray Quilter - I think I will spend some of this Canada Day "browsing".Lezley Zwaalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-61303276749242090722016-07-01T08:52:59.751-04:002016-07-01T08:52:59.751-04:00I really like this quilt.

Even the block elements used a lot of traditional techniques even if they don't end up as the pieces we might recognize as such. I think Tannis did an amazing jobHelen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413109845173254769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-4767352901383259632016-07-01T08:28:23.472-04:002016-07-01T08:28:23.472-04:00There are traditional elements in this quilt as yo...There are traditional elements in this quilt as you pointed out, but I didn't see them. What I see is a modern quilt mostly because of the block used. I love that the quilting world has expanded so much in the past 20 years to include so much more in technique, colour, blocks, fabrics, quilting etc. <br /><br />I believe, however that we must embrace the past and the present. When a quilt show has a category for traditional quilts, the quilts entered in that category should be truly traditional.<br /><br />Having said that Tannis Fahlman's "Crackin' the Code is a fantastic quilt and I love it. For me, it's modern.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652135152530173279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-48006368106718466252016-07-01T08:22:12.118-04:002016-07-01T08:22:12.118-04:00 Woohoo, I love the opportunity to talk about stuf... Woohoo, I love the opportunity to talk about stuff like this! I can tell you that when they enter their quilts in the jurying process, the first step is to ensure they are in fact in the right category in the National Juried Show at Quilt Canada. CQA/ACC who hosts this national event has developed a Quilt Judge Certification Programme to train/teach quilters to become judges. It is a rigourous, extensive, yet highly educational 3-5 year program to ensure that when judging the best in Canada it is done to the best of their ability. Many other shows do not use trained professional judges. We do. While it may seem interesting and thought provoking that this quilt be in this category, and win an award... I can guarantee that there is a whole set of reasons from qualified judges as to why it did.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265544278773925286noreply@blogger.com
