First meeting of 2021 - part 2

 The rule of six applies in England at the moment, so I invited six people yesterday, and another six today. Emily couldn’t come along because she was taking her parents for a vaccination this afternoon, and Sue was seeing her family.  Luckily Paula, Julie and Maria were able to come along despite the weather being no better than yesterday! 

Paula brought several quilts, including this lovely pink one.  It looks complicated, but is really not.  

She has done a great job here. 

This is a bordered nine patch.  The colour choices here are fabulous. 

 Here is Julie’s Bonnie Hunter’s ‘Grassy Creek’.  Looking really good. Maria is getting ready to display one of her quilts. 

 Maria has given me lots of quilts during lockdown, but due to ill health has slowed down recently.  Here is a beautiful purple quilt.  Stunning. 

 And here is something you don’t often see.  Julie took this photo of me!  Here is a mile a minute idea which I have found recently.  I think it’s bright and cheerful.  

We will be meeting again at Lutterworth Rec on May 6th and would be delighted to see you if you’re free. 

First meeting of 2021

 Now the rule of six applies once more, I invited some Linus ladies to a socially distanced meet up in the park.  It was the same old stuff, bring your own chair, no refreshments, no toilets, but people were keen to come.  Heather had to decline as her daughter had a hospital appointment and she was needed for child care, but Fiona, Naomi, Martha and Ann-Marie were all there, well wrapped up.  

Everyone brought some quilts they had finished, and we loved admiring them. 

This one is made from different cat fabrics. 

Fiona is hiding behind this once which is a bordered nine patch. 

Here she is with some donated blocks she assembled. 

I took a box of backing fabric, a box of ‘kits’ and some novelty fabrics.  All the boxes were lighter on my way home, although the car was fuller with the 23 lovely quilts these talented ladies had made! We had a good laugh and managed to put the world to rights, and I look forward to seeing you all in May.
