We enjoyed a thrilling presentation by Eugene Modern Quilt Guild President Jessica Beaudet Wednesday afternoon, “The Modern Quilt Movement & Trunk Show.” And what a trunk show she shared with us!
Jessica is an accomplished and passionate speaker; I am so very glad I was able to hear her presentation:
Jessica Beaudet
She very generously shared her knowledge of the Modern Quilt Movement, reminding the audience that we all speak the same quilting language, no matter what the form of our communication is: in person, by telephone, or by internet connection. She uses the internet as a tool to enhance and share her quilting knowledge with quilters worldwide.
Jeanne Wong introducing Jessica
And here are some of the quilts! (Please excuse the head views — every seat was taken today!)
This “Improvised Chair” quilt is shown sideways to display the hour that belongs just to Jessica
Isn’t this compelling?
Note the setting of the bolder blocks — just a slightly different take
A traditional block, a red & green quilt, but with a definite color edge!
We thank Jessica profusely, for her presentation at the show today! Our community is so fortunate to have such a talented and generous quilter in our midst!
And lastly, exhibited in our show, is a marvelous quilt by Jenny Bonynge (quilted by Cynthia Brunz) in the modern aesthetic.

There is some beautiful work to see! The modern quilt movement gives the art quite a different flavor.
