PEIMQG January 2018 Sew-In

Happy New Year!!! The busy holiday season is behind us. Many of us were keen to get together on a mild rainy Saturday to catch up, relax and spend the day sewing and starting new projects for 2018.

Velda recently started a new project: "Tilt -a- Whirl". These blocks are so pretty!! 




 Here are 4 placed together. This quilt is going to be gorgeous!!



Linda was casting the edges of some of her fabric, getting it ready to be prewashed.  These beauties will find their way into a "Parterre" quilt. Can't wait to see the blocks as the months go by.



Dianne was working on a new Cross stitch pattern. her "Newfoundland Tartan Map" will be one of her hand sewing projects this year.



Helen was playing catch up with the PEIMQG Mystery Quilt-Along. I love her neutral toned, paper pieced Clue #4. 



Janice was also working on the PEIMQG Mystery quilt, Here are her Clue #5 HRTs. They look fantastic!!



Heather J. Spent some time cutting for her "The Canadian Sampler".



Maritza brought her super cute "Paisley Splash" project. Here she is placing some of her pieces. This quilt will be adorable once its completed.



Cathy spent some time demonstrating the 3 methods for making Clue #5 of the Mystery Quilt-Along.  



Cathy also shared her colors for the "Parterre" Quilt-Along, and spent some time discussing how this project will unfold.

Jean and Roberta stopped by for a visit, it was nice to catch up with them too.

We had a great day together, relaxing and looking forward to what 2018 has in store.
