PEI Modern Quilt Guild April Sew-In

Happy Easter, I hope everyone has the chance to get some extra sewing in this holiday weekend!!! 

Last Saturday, that's exactly what some of our members had the chance to do. We had 8 members gather for a fun day of sewing, which is a pretty good turn out considering we had some members on vacation, and 2 members at Retreat!! Stay tuned for some photos of their successful weekend!!

Dianne was having fun making jelly roll race quilts using donated scraps.


Here's one already finished!!


Leigh Anne was quilting a wall hanging. She actually got it finished too!! I love the design and bright colours!!



Linda was making Lilla blocks for next year's raffle quilt. These are really interesting, I can't wait to start laying them out.


Janice has been keeping busy with the 52 blocks in 52 weeks challenge. 


Jean shared her Avant Garde fabric bundle. She has finally selected the "Jewel Drop" pattern, and is ready to start cutting!! It's going to be gorgeous!!


She also spent some time making Block 5 units for the Medley Medallion Quilt Along. 


Gail is working on this beautiful Sashiko pillow. It is absolutely stunning.



Lucinda was making "Raspberry Kiss" blocks. These blocks are due at the April meeting for Block Lotto. Who's going to win them all?


Next up was some Purple blocks for Lucinda's "Ice Crystals quilt"


Janet has been making green heart blocks for "Healing Hearts for Christchurch" . Information about this charitable endeavour can be found at the Angels in Gumboots Facebook page.


Lastly Cathy started her "New Wave quilt" by Libs Elliot, which she picked up during her trip to QuiltCon 2019 in Nashville.  I look forward to seeing it grow .
