14.01.2022 MQSA Sponsor Spotlight - Material Obsession *** Material Obsession was at the forefront of the Modern Quilt movement in Australia. In its early days, the business chose to break through with clean bright fabrics, large scale blocks and twists on traditional structures for quilts without realising it was a modern way of thinking. As a self-taught quilter, owner Kathy Doughty says: "I wanted to design quilts that were easy to construct; and that concept appealed to people in...terested in learning to quilt, and wanting the quilts to look at home in our lives." Even before social media was around to help spread the word the first book, Material Obsession One was hugely successful world-wide. Still popular, that book provides easy, colourful ideas for people looking to get started. Material Obsessions ethos is still about using printed fabrics to create interest, to design quilt structures that challenge or enhance traditions, and to take advantage of the many wonderful tools available to quilters today. MO is bringing renowned Improv quilter Maria Shell to Sydney in September, and a couple of spots are still available. See their website for details. Throughout the lead-up and the show Material Obsession will be offering a 20% discount for online orders on their website for customers that use the code MODERN in the coupon code at checkout of their order for patterns, kits and fabric. (Valid until 5:30pm, 31 August 2019) *** Thank you for sponsoring MQSA again in 2019 Material Obsession! #modernquiltshowau #modernquiltshowau2019 #modernquiltshowau2019sponsors See more

In addition, Fabric Garden sells Aurifil and runs a number of thread clubs, signups on her website. ...Although she doesnt necessarily describe herself as a true modern quilter, the modern aesthetic is more Sues style. Early on Sue heard of the modern quilting movement and decided to get involved, joining the Sydney Modern Quilt Guild. One of the things Sue loves about modern quilting is not only the bright colours and use of negative space, but the way that modern quilters incorporate modern technology into virtually everything they do. Social media is key to the growth of modern quilting. *** Thank you Fabric Garden for your continued sposorship of MQSA in 2019. #modernquiltshowau #modernquiltshowau2019 #modernquiltshowau2019sponsors See more
