Modern vs. Traditional: Necessary division or just divisive?

Modern vs. Traditional: A False Dichotomy? Is the division between Modern and Traditional Quilting guilds necessary or just divisive? 🗓️ SAVE THE DATE: Wednesday, April 15, 2026 🕒 3:00 PM EST Join us for a thought-provoking episode of The Uncut Thread, a Quilt Africa Fabrics Forum. In this session, convener Miriam Galadima Benson and host Bob Silverman welcome featured guest Juanita Armbrister to dive into a deep conversation: "Modern vs. Traditional: A False Dichotomy?" We explore whether the division between modern and traditional quilting guilds is a necessary distinction or simply a divisive barrier in our creative community. ✨ Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned quilter, this is a conversation that matters to every creative. Audience Action: The Hybrid Quilt: Share a quilt you've made that successfully blends traditional blocks with modern fabric/color choices. #quiltafricafabrics #quiltingcommunity #copyrightincraft #fiberart #quiltingethics #creativeprocess #textileart #quiltersofyoutube #artdiscussion
