Peter Byrne

• Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a national and international award-winning, published modern quilter with a deep passion for innovation and design. My strength is maintaining a fresh approach to quilting, with original designs and technical mastery.  
• While attending QuiltCon 2020, my quilt titled ‘Starring You’ won Best in Show and my quilt titled ‘Cityscape” won Best Machine Quilting Frameless. 
• While attending Quilt Canada 2021, ‘Cityscape’ placed in Abstract and Improvisational category and ‘Starring You’ won an Award of Excellence for Best Machine Quilting Frameless. 
• My presentation includes over 350 slides, taking viewers through my own personal quilting journey. We start by having a look at my experience of winning ‘Best in Show’ and ‘Best Machine Quilting Frameless’ at QuiltCon 2020, the largest and most prestigious Modern Quilt Show in the world! 
• I welcome everyone in, to have a look at my awesome sewing studio and then we go all the way back to 2009 and view the first two quilts I made.  
• We move forward to 2017, when I became a full time student of the craft and joined the Toronto Modern Quilt Guild to further my quilting ambitions. 
• I walk you through my quilts made in 2017 and 2018 as I practised and developed my quilting skills, followed by sharing the spotlight at Quilts at the Creek, 2019!  
• I share an in-depth look at a new approach to raw edge appliqué I have developed called Hover-quilting. 
• We then have a close look at my quilts made in 2019, when I decided to start making quilts specifically for juried shows and finish the show with all of my current work from 2020, 2021.  
• In total, I share over 20 quilts and going pre-recorded has allowed me to include ‘how to’ pictures of my quilt making process, along with ‘close up’s of every quilt!  
• This is a fast paced 48 minute, pre-recorded presentation, followed by a question and answer period.
