Heather welcomed 22 members and 2 guests. It was a full house to be sure!! We happily made room for Kelly and Alice and settled into business.
Members of the PEI Modern Quilt Guild have been busy selling raffle tickets on this year's "SuperNova" quilt.
You may have seen us at the Eptek Art & Culture Centre, at Peakes Quay for "Quilt Hang Out Day" and at the Dundas Plow Match. We would like to thank everyone who stopped by and admired the quilt on display and for everyone who purchased a ticket, we appreciate your support!!
Congratulations to Gordon Jackson, who was the lucky winner drawn at the September meeting!!
We have gathered all the Postcards for the 2019 Colour of the Year Swap with the Moncton Modern Quilt Guild. I can't share any photos yet, you'll have to come back for the November blogpost to see them!
The final block of the Medley Medallion Quilt Along was the Flying Geese Block. Participating members brought in their blocks for a Fat Quarter Bundle from Fabric, Crafts-N-More.
Members have until the January meeting to complete their Medley Medallion projects for a chance at some Super, Duper prizes!! I can't wait to see what everyone makes!
Our Van Gogh challenge was also due this month, and the results are amazing! We have some fun fabric prizes that are being offered to the "Viewer's Choice" winners. So please check out this link for the post where you can vote for your favourite! The poll will remain open until just before the November Monthly meeting.

Velda shared this sparkly "Mini Diamonds" quilt. She has been challenging herself to complete a mini a month. Sounds like fun!!
She also has been collaborating on a QuiltCon 2020 charity challenge quilt with some of her online quilty friends. This Inspirational quilt top was assembled by Velda, using blocks that were made by the members in her group from all around the world!! Thank you for sharing it with us before the next stop on it's journey!!
Jean has been travelling this Summer, but she made sure to stop and pick up these fun and quirky gnome fabrics and a book to help with her quilting!! Can't wait to see where this fabric will turn up!!
Leigh Anne let loose with some scraps from Maiwa Hand Prints brought back with Susan from her trip to Quilt Canada.
She also shared this gorgeous "Fractured Hexies" quilt which features paper-pieced hexagons in ombre fabrics, hand-appliqued onto a machine quilted background.
Nancy spent some time this Summer travelling Western Canada. She stopped at many fabric stores, and here is a sampling of some of her terrific fabric finds!!
Cathy wanted to share her "Over and Under" Queen Bee quilt. The blocks in this quilt were made by members of the guild, which she then assembled into this queen-sized quilt. It only took 3 years to get this far, but who's counting, LOL.
What a fun meeting full of pretty, pretty, things....
