We miss being together in person, but many love working in their own sewing space, with all their items are at hand! Since Covid 19, our guild has been holding Zoom meetings, with interesting presenters from Canada, USA, and even Australia! We have a Zoom sew-day, where those who wish, can chat, sew, cut fabric, pin-baste etc.
We enjoyed a pot luck lunch, and enjoyed getting together to produce fun quilts. Some were sewing, others pressing, cutting fabric, pin-basting, preparing bindings etc. Pre-Covid 19, we met once per month at our convenor's home, to work as a group. Some members make quilts to donate, and others donate quilt tops, fabric, batting, backing to help our program. We have a very active "Community Quilts" program, making quilts to donate to various groups and places. I am a member of the Limestone Quilters Guild in Kingston Ontario. Now that her dad is alone, he will be able to spend time with them under Ontario's covid rules, and will be included in their "bubble" when he is ready to start socializing. We feel helpless, as under normal circumstances, we would travel to their home, and help out with the kids, cooking, cleaning, etc. Of course Covid 19 complicates everything, and they are dealing with their grief. Our younger son and his wife are dealing with the death of her mother, with family members spread from Canada, USA and Russia. I hope to have enough cut to spend time sewing on Saturday at our monthly Zoom sew day, taking time to chat with other members from time to time. I am trying to use fabric that is "waiting in the wings" for its chance to shine.
Today I began cutting 2 inch strips from my scrap bin for a new quilt. It uses Wordpress, and since its latest update, it is taking me 3 times longer to make each post, edit the pages, on top of editing pictures etc. I have been busy dealing with lots of mail for my guild, as I write and monitor our website.
They don't start burying lines here until mid-May, so ours probably won't be replaced until then. After calling again, we are supposed to have one dropped off tomorrow (I hope). They were supposed to drop off a new modem on Tuesday, but no one showed up. Since then, we have shared our next door neighbour's feed, as it was too late in the year to replace and bury the line, and with Zoom meetings so often, along with Skype chats to visit our grandchildren and families, our internet has been very patchy, with week signals etc. DH spent some time talking to our internet provider, since our cable was cut last fall while they were adding a new line to a neighbour. I spent lots of time, catching up on email etc., and we had some appointments this week too. I dug through my craft supplies to find the bits and pieces that I use to piece them together when they are all completed.
ELECTRIC QUILT 8 IPAD TV
I was looking for some mindless hand sewing to do in the evening when DH and I watch TV for a while. I spent some time cutting various size circles from Christmas fabric, to make yo-yo tree ornaments, to be donated to the boutique at my guild next year. You will draft over 30 blocks in this class.I can't believe it is Thursday already, and I have barely sewn a stitch!
This will be a chance to ask questions and share photos of your work from the class.
