PEI Modern Quilt Guild December 2018 Potluck Party

The Holiday season is here and 2018 is coming to a close. The PEI Modern Quilt Guild always has so much fun at our end of year Potluck Party generously hosted by President Heather J. We had 15 members and 1 guest come together to celebrate the season, eat great food and enjoy spending time with each other.

The morning was spent working on hand sewing projects.

Lucinda demonstrated her technique for making folded star ornaments.

We had a wonderful assortment of food to choose from, and the sweets were delicious!!

After lunch we had an orphan block gift exchange.

Then we played 2 games of Left, Right and Centre. A fun game with 5" squares where the winner takes home the entire pile. This year's winners were Linda..

and Cathy. I guess Liz ended up being a lucky charm after all!!

We also had a wonderful Show & Share...

Dianne shared her recent thrift store find. This little wall hanging was a steal at just $2.00!!

Brenda's Blue "Christmas Glitters" wall hanging was stunning.

and her "Arcade Game" quilt is the perfect gift for her grandson.

Lucinda shared her " Zig Zag" quilt top. Whichever way you turn it, it's fantastic!

Jean has been having fun making "Blingy" bags for her upcoming girl's trip to Paducah.

and her super talented husband made these ruler racks for her birthday!!

Linda shared her "Change" project from the recent Cheryl Arkison workshop. I can't wait to see how she quilts it!

Roberta shared this lovely "Book Nerd" quilt. A gift for her Daughter-in-Law, but perfect for anyone who loves books.

Cathy has been busy making aprons for her family's "Christmas Baking Day" Here is 1 of the 5 she made this year.

Heather shared her "Throwing" quilt using the beautiful Zen Chic fabrics. The machine quilting by Colleen was perfect too.

It's hard to choose which side is best.

She also took the opportunity to show the completed "President's Challenge" quilt. Members of the PEI Modern Quilt Guild were challenged to create a "Nautical" themed block using Kona Regal as a constant .The quilt turned out amazing and the custom quilting done by Blueberry Cove was perfect.

I think everyone had an amazing time and I know I speak for everyone when I extend huge thanks and gratitude to Heather for hosting.
