If you attended out meeting on Sunday May 31st, you already know what a great time we had. If you couldn't make it, here are a few highlights and some news from the meeting. View the meeting slideshow here Behind the Seams with Peter Byrne Our very own guild member Peter Byrne did a wonderful virtual trunk show for us. He shared his QuiltCon experience, invited us into his studio, and explained his process for developing his personal quilts. Did you know that Peter was the first man and the first solo Canadian to win "Best in Show" at QuiltCon? Now you do! If you missed the trunk show, you can find more of his work on his website, or @petersquilts on Instagram.  Peter Byrne - Appeal Quilt Peter Byrne - Amethyst Quilt Announcements Love these newsletters?
