We're back with another amazing and inspiring fiber artist! If there ever was an artist who could inspire you to just “do you,” it’s Rachel Clark.
Rachel Clark’s one-of-a-kind wearable quilt pieces are some of the most colorful, intricate, and personal examples of fiber art I’ve ever seen.
Welcome to Week 2 of the Modern Fans Quilt Sew-Along! If you're popping in late, no need to feel left-out or stressed, we are keeping a slow pace with this sew-along so everyone can have a chance to gather any extra supplies or take that extra time to practice sewing curves.
Have you been enjoying our Fab Fiber Artist blog series? I hope so because I've never felt more inspired by the strong women who's shoulders on which I stand. If you missed reading about Nancy Clark, Faith Ringgold, or Rachel Clark, be sure to get caught up because today we're talking about not just an author, entrepreneur, pattern writer and fabric designer, this person can be credited by some as single-handedly saving quilting from becoming a dying art.

In my journey to learn more about the history of quilting and fiber arts, I have discovered some incredible makers, artists, thinkers and leaders. A couple weeks ago we talked about one of our founding Quilt Mothers, Nancy Crow, Marti Michell, and Rachel Clark.
Although the Modern Fans Sew-Along does not officially kickoff until next week, I want to give you some more color options and creative layouts to show you how versatile the Modern Fans quilt pattern really is.

Before launching into various pattern colorways and the curves video tutorial, I wanted to remind you that there will be a Modern Fans Quilt Sew-Along starting September 12, 2018.
Welcome! Welcome, one and all to the Modern Fans sew-along! Wahooo! This post will (hopefully) clear up any questions you have on the who, what, when, and where, but before jumping in with an itemized list of deets, I want to share with you why I get so very excited about this particular sew-along.
When I learned to quilt years and years ago, there was no Instagram or Facebook and for the most part, quilters had not yet fully emerged onto the internet. (To their credit, it was still kinda new-ish. It was 2002.) It wasn't until I discovered social media that I discovered the wonderful world of modern quilting.
