PEI Modern Quilt Guild QuiltCon 2019 Charity Quilt Sew-in

It was a lovely cool September day.  Five members came to the Stratford location to work on the QCCQ2019.  I'm sure the staff at Mad About Patchwork are curious about how the fabric will be put to use...

It was a fabulous organic continuation of the previous weekend's efforts.  Members weighed in on the design, did a lot of various placements on our design wall, and we have decided on the binding colours already!  The collective minds with 2 other members who dropped in will make this quilt top finish stunning.  Our longarmer will also be getting plenty of ideas for the quilting. 

Here's a sneak peek...




We also had visitors from Edmonton, AB!  We enjoyed meeting Ioleen, Cindy and Dave.  We were able to share our progress and even got to see Ioleen's quilt she made for her sister!  Lovely!  Here's Ioleen and Gail holding up the quilt in front of our creative mess.




Love how the colours in Ioleen's quilt reflects the ones we are working with for QCCQ2019.

We also had a visitor from the store pop in to see what we were doing.

  1. It was lovely to meet you ladies. It was a great break from all the sitting in the car. Your quilt for QCCQ2019 is going to be gorgeous. Thanks for letting us visit your sew-in.
