May 2020 Stay in Place Sew-In and Virtual lunch break

Here on PEI, we are extremely fortunate during this pandemic. Every one of the 27 cases are recovered and there have been no hospitalizations or death.  We are grateful.  As a result, public health restrictions have eased and we are now allowed 5 people to enter and 10 to gather outside our homes.  As a result, some of our members were happy for the opportunity to see family today inside, since the weather is frightful!  A perfect day to work on our projects too!

Here we are at various times during our lunch break.  Next time the president will signal a funny faces pose so we can capture that moment!  😉

We all had various projects at different stages of completion.  Here are Anna's and Cathy's temperature quilts for 2020 up until the end of April.  Looking good ladies.  Always wonderful to have a partner to motivate us to complete.

Jean quilted her quilt, Love from Above, a Charley Harper design, on her long arm machine with a panto called Diagonal Plaid.  Beautiful.

Linda's top using the no waste method of making flying geese. It was an opportunity to delve into her batik stash to make a dent in it using the Remixed Geese pattern from Robert Kaufman.  She is working on her next row of the CQA Row by Row Quilt Along.

Lucinda was also working on her flying geese.

Janice was trying to finish a baby quilt for a good friend's new grandson.

Colleen finished quilting her foxes on her long arm and Dawn agreed to bind it!  All done, yea!  Here are pictures of the quilt on the machine and finished binding.  It is not often Colleen has the opportunity to get her quilt done in among her client's quilts.

Liz was working on her flying geese to add to her borders.

And here they are on the flimsy! This is the Unity quilt by Bonnie Hunter. Liz isn't the only  PEIMQG member participating in this free Quilt Along.

Last month, Heather won the block lotto.  As she receives the blocks, she's been playing with the layout on the design wall.

Today, Heather, was working on her mini for her CQA swap partner.  It has to be in the mail early June so we will have to wait until after her partner receives it before we see it here.

Velda was not sewing with us today, however she was kept busy with quilt related things.  She worked on her blog post: Simple Shapes = Fabulous Finishes.  Check it out at: freckledfoxquiltery.wordpress.com.

She also recently received this lovely assortment of fabrics from Troll Brothers Quilt Designs

We will be having a virtual guild meeting again this month and we will see what the future holds for all of us to come back together again in person. 

Now, if only Mother Nature would cooperate for Mother's Day and not send us snow tonight...until next time...
