PEI Modern Quilt Guild February 2019 Sew-In

February is the month of LOVE.That might be because it is also one of the coldest times of the year. On Prince Edward Island (and across Canada), it has been absolutely frigid!! What's the best way to stay warm?? Perhaps a snuggle under a warm and cozy quilt, or getting to spend a work day sewing, because of a Snow Day!! The members of the PEIMQG didn't  need a Snow Day to get together and sew. We had 10 members gather on this rainy Saturday to work on an assortment of projects.

Velda was making these fun curvy blocks, made from leftovers, and scraps from other projects!!

Jean is planning her "Scrap Lattice" quilt,  a great design for using up her blue scraps.

Janice was making great progress with her "Medley Medallion" Blocks. I love these colors! So fresh!

Heather was busy making kits for the Spring Retreat. Members can take a break from their own projects to whip up a fun improv style block. 

Dianne was up to her elbows in her scrap bins!! Cutting 2 1/2" strips for a Jelly Roll Race, and setting aside smaller pieces for her "String X" quilt.

Linda was putting the finishing touches on her "Down Stream" wall hanging.  I look forward to seeing it at this month's Show & Share.

Cathy had finished her "Variegated threads" blocks and with  Linda's help, came up with a fun layout. Hopefully a finished top will be shared soon.

Janet is still having fun with her "Scrap Vortex" project. With lots of fabric scraps from friends, this quilt will combine new, with old for a stunning finished project.

Liz dropped by before lunch to hand over our 2019 Raffle Quilt. The semi- Custom quilting is gorgeous!! Next up Jean will be adding the binding. Tickets will be available soon, so stay tuned!!

After Lunch, Roberta joined the group, to cut fabric for her " Earth Rhythms " quilt.

and Leigh Anne was able to come and work on her Improv Trees. I love, love, love those Ombre fabrics!! 

What a great Sew-In!! We had an excellent turn out and it's always so much fun to get together with these ladies, to sew, and chat, and laugh the day away....
