Quarantine quilting (2)

Most of us have a stash of fabric, thread, many have yarn stashes ... so we are well placed to occupy ourselves during time in quarantine, and we find ways to make quilts and other things. We're keeping in touch in new ways -  we've practised Zoom chats in small groups and are planning to trial a larger online meeting next week. Whats App is proving useful, emails and phone calls are more regular than ever. Lots of sewing rooms and cupboards are being explored, cleaned out and older buried, sometimes forgotten unfinished projects resurrected and sometimes finished off. One of our members has finished off 10 community quilts! And of course, new things have been started. Instagram has become our regular 'show and tell'. Here are some of our recent quarantine efforts ...

Helen found this knitting bag for beanies being
made for her grandchildren a quick and fun make
Robin has been busy making three quilt quilt
tops from her vibrant stash fabric

Robin's second finish
... and her third.

Janet has made a scrap quilt from start to finish
-  but she still has blue scraps!
Nerida's Modern Half Square Triangle 2020 block of the month is a
showcase of her beautifully curated stash

Another beauty Nerida has been working on.

Daphne's first quarantine quilt top finish is a beauty!

Jenn's circle time floor quilt for her son's classroom
- wedges for the win. She used a 10 degree wedge ruler,
and Dylan Mierzwinski's 'Playground' fabric range.
