PEI Modern Quilt Guild July 2019 Sew-In

Oh My!! How time flies... It seems like this Summer is moving way too fast. Summer is only a few short months and we all feel the need to cram as much activity into it. So much so, that we forget to stop and smell the wild roses.

I feel it's important to take a break from the hectic schedule and decompress with some sew therapy and camaraderie!! (Any excuse to sew is fine by me!!! LOL). Seven members of the PEI Modern Quilt Guild must have agreed with me, because we came with varied projects in hand...

Cathy was putting the binding on this nautical themed baby quilt, titled "X's and O's".

Janet has been enjoying using up some of her scrap fabrics. Using anything and everything to make slab blocks of varying sizes. Mixing newer modern fabrics with her more traditional scraps. 

Here are a few of the blocks she completed at Sew-In.

Lucinda came with her knitting. She is working on a shawl. It is going to be stunning when it's finished!!

Here is her awesome knitting bag. Isn't it incredible? It suits Lucinda's personality to a T!

Gail has been busy going Green!!!! This box contains all kinds of goodies... Reusable paper towels, and produce bags will help with waste reduction for sure!

She has also been busy making cloth gift bags. What an excellent way to use up your fabric stash!!! (So you can buy more???)

Dianne was shortening this beautiful dress for a friend. We all had our thoughts on how to finish the edge. Whatever Dianne decides, her friend will look lovely.

Jean next project is a quilt from Block magazine. "Triangle Tango" will feature some of her Tula Pink "Zuma" collection.

Here's Jean with her first block completed!!! Full steam ahead!!

Velda was working on finishing her postcard for the swap due in September. I love seeing everyone's take on the Colour of the Year!! (If you take a peek in the corner you can see a mini that Velda will share at the July monthly meeting. She was just finishing up the binding).

What a lovely day of sewing among friends!!
