Mid-Century Modern Astro-Futurism

Presented by the South Sarasota Modern Quilt Guild

Each year, the Sarasota Modern Quilt Guild presents to its members an opportunity to challenge themselves, their skills, and their creativity with a group challenge. This challenge was written by guild member Peg Normandin, with a fun twist on the Jetsons Cartoon Series. Members of the South Sarasota Modern Quilt Guild were challenged to create a quilt inspired by the 1950s and 1960s Mid-Century Modern Astro-Futurism trend.

The South Sarasota Modern Quilt Guild’s mission is to provide an atmosphere of fellowship for persons interested in the art and craft of modern quilt making and related arts and to encourage the growth and development of modern quilting through art, education, and community.
