MMQG June Sew-In Day RECAP

 This past Saturday was MMQG's June Sew-In Day.... aka Fun-Day!  13 members brought all their gear and settled in for a wonderful day of sewing, sewing, sewing! There were baby quilts being quilted, there were bindings being made and attached, there were quilt blocks being sewn into quilt tops, there was baby clothes being made, there was paper-piecing and hexie making and quilt consults and lots more. On top of all that, there was friendship and support along with a lot of inspiration.  You should come next time!  
Here's a few pics of  some of the quilty goodness going on during the day.

Linda worked on her "Urban Candy" quilt top

MMQG June monthly meeting Recap

Our June Monthly Meeting was well attended by 28 excited modern quilters.  The room was abuzz with hellos and then Adrienne, our president, called the meeting to order.  After quick business meeting we went directly to our program for the evening...Pixel Quilting with Aimee.  Guild member Aimee Semel, gave us a detailed account of how she pieces her amazing pixel quilts.  Here are some examples of her work.

Going Out to Sew In!

This month we ventured outside of our usual Sew In Space to sew at our LQS Atlantic Fabrics in Dartmouth. We are so thankful to Atlantic Fabrics for hosting our Sew In and also giving members a special discount on shopping!

There was a lot of stitching (and shopping) going on. Here are the deets...

The Scene

There were some fence rails in action

Val was at her very first Sew In and brought along some disappearing 4-patches to work on

Jeanette was working on some super s granny squares. A quilt just for her!

There was a whole lot of color consults going on for Amanda's new project

The June Candy Coated Quilts Collections were delivered! Look at those colors

Jenn was quilting her Technicolor Galaxy

Crystal made a #87pillow - great colors!

Crystal also finished binding her wee lads first quilt. Check out that rounded corner and the back which we love just as much as the front!

Sarah was working on some quilt as you go for a #87pillow

Shelly was living it up in her work area, tackling a stack of Anna Maria Horner goodness

Adrienne was making a Square in Square Baby quilt

Like I said, a lot of quilty goodness! Our next sew in will be Saturday June 25th, 1 Prince Street Dartmouth. Why not come and stitch with us!
