PEIMQG November 2017 Sew-In

The time changed in the wee hours last night and it feels like Autumn at last!! The weather here in Prince Edward Island has been very weird. Frost some mornings, then temperatures rising to 20 degrees or more. Not that I'm complaining.... It will be very cold, soon enough!! 

The holidays will be here before we know it. I enjoy getting together at our Sew-Ins, its a chance to slow down and catch up with like-minded friends before the hectic schedule of the holidays kicks in. We had 10 members attend the Sew-In throughout the day. Busy hands sewing bindings and sewing machines were humming. We even had a quilt finish!

Heather J. was working on this table runner which was an orphan block re-imagined. Straight line quilting really compliments this piece.

Velda was working on a couple projects. Here you can see her "The Avenue Blocks" mixed in with some of her "A Year of Scrappy Triangles" blocks.

Here is a closeup of one of her "The Avenue" blocks.

And one of her layouts. This quilt is so much fun!!

Lucinda was working on her "Blue Ridge Beauty" blocks.

Gail was busy binding her Redwork Runner. Just in time for Christmas!!

Linda was working on binding this Bright beauty.

Cathy was working on her "Sunkissed by Spring" blocks.

She also took some time to demonstrate how she approaches paper piecing. She also shared a few alternative methods for achieving similar results using traditional piecing.

Jean was working on binding.

Here is the quilt finally finished. It is gorgeous!!

Dianne was assembling some smaller quilts using her Queen Bee blocks that she received from her Bee mates a few months back.

Colleen and Dawn stopped by after lunch to drop off a charity quilt for Dianne.

They also brought Heather her quilted "Geode" quilt. Love those Cotton + Steel holiday prints!!

Here is the back.

and a closeup on the quilting.

What a great way to spend a relaxed Saturday. We only have a few more get-togethers before 2017 comes to a close.
