Hello quilters, my name is Peter Byrne. I am a published, National and International award-winning, modern quilter and teacher with a deep passion for innovation and design.
My strength is maintaining a fresh approach to quilting, with original designs and technical mastery. My goal is innovation, my passion is creativity and I am thrilled to have opportunities to share my work within the quilting community.
I’m presently offering a Virtual Trunk Show called “Behind the Seams” with Peter Byrne.
This presentation includes over 350 slides, taking viewers through my own personal quilting journey. In total, I share over 20 quilts and going virtual has allowed me to include “how to” pictures of my quilt making process, along with close ups of every quilt.
We start by having a look at my experience of winning “Best in Show” and “Best Machine Quilting Frameless” at QuiltCon 2020 and I welcome everyone in, to have a look at my awesome sewing studio.
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.
We then have a close look at my quilts made in 2019 and 2020, when I started making quilts specifically for juried shows. I share my experience at Quilt Canada 2021 and my quilts from the same year.
We have a close look at my current work and award winning quilts from 2022 and 2023 including my ribbons from QuiltCon 2023 and Quilt Canada 2023 and Quilt Canada 2025
I share my experience of being a guest on The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.
We then finish the show with a quick overview of my current workshops. This is a fast paced, pre-recorded 50 minute presentation, followed by a question and answer period.
The fee for my Virtual Trunk Show is $400, all in.
Here are all the places you can find me.
