Episode 133: Modern Quilting With Corrinna Griffis


The Gals are thrilled they finally got to have friend of the show, Corrinna Griffis in the studio for a talk about Modern Quilting. You are all in for a treat because Corrinna blew us away with and excellent, fun, and informative interview. Learn what Modern Quilting is, creative guilds like The Modern Quilt Guild, and get pointers on how to face your biggest challenges and fears when learning news skills like quilting.

Check out the super pretty Pintrest board we put together for this episode here.

Corrinna told us about The Modern Quilt Guild and explained how it exists nationally and that there are local chapters under that umbrella. If you are interested in learning more you can check out the national website here and you can visit the Portland site here.

As promised, here are pictures of Corrinna’s beautiful quilts!
