PEI Modern Quilt Guild June 2019 Sew-In/Postcard workshop

Spring has totally sprung here on PEI!! The days have been filled with sunshine and beautiful blooms, with the occasional shower to keep things green and growing. Summer is not very far away, which for many, means less time spent indoors sewing and more time spent out enjoying the warmer weather with family and friends or taking that much needed vacation.  

The PEI Modern Quilt Guild gathered for a super fun filled Sew-In, which was focused on a Postcard workshop. We are super excited to be taking part in a COTY (Colour of the Year) swap with the Moncton MQG. Many of our members had never made postcards and so we asked that anyone with experience could share their insights on this fun project. Our charity Coordinator, Dianne rose to the occasion and came with supplies and insight galore.

We were encouraged to play with designs and themes as practice for our final postcard submissions. It was an incredible day spent with friends learning some new techniques. Dianne brought scraps and trims galore to inspire creativity.

Thank you to Roberta for dropping by with a few examples of the postcards she's made.

Maritza was inspired by this text fabric. Sentiments that show her interests and passions.

Here's Liz's practice postcard, really clever use of a fussy cut star!!

Here are some photos taken throughout the day...

Here is a group shot of the members in attendance, except for Dawn and Roberta who left a little early because of family commitments.

I can't wait to see the finished results!! We all had so much fun. Thank you Liz for organizing the Postcard swap and Dianne for hosting the workshop!!! Great teamwork ladies!!
