The Methodist Hall was open and we decided to meet inside. I wasn’t sure how many people would come, but I was delighted that twenty two people came along.
Here are the sewers, socially distanced and you can see that the emergency door is open (as well as all the windows) to provide good ventilation. We had spent a while sanitising door knobs, light switches, tables and chair backs before people arrived to make sure all was COVID secure.
Here are the knitters. There wasn’t a lot of knitting (or sewing) going on, but it was lovely to see people and feel as if we had at least got the ball rolling.
Lots of show and tell. Naomi put together a random set of blocks very successfully.
Margery brought this top, with wadding and backing. She was hoping that someone would volunteer to layer it up as she has run out of 505 spray. Unfortunately nobody stepped forward, and I recommended Empress Mills as a good deal on 505 and she had to take it home with her!
Another of Naomi’s beautifully hand quilted quilts.
Ann hand pieces, and here is one of her hexagon quilts.
Martha has made up a scrappy windmill. Always a favourite. There was a block left over, which has gone into the box for another quilt.
This is a tumbler quilt made by Martha.
I think this is Jewel Box made by Naomi.
A smaller version of the same quilt.
Julie cuts tumblers with her Accuquilt cutter, and Anne Marie has put them together beautifully.
Fiona has made a stunning Bargello design.
Here is another of Julie’s kits made up by Martha.
Ann Marie made up this Carpenter’s Star quilt.
Another hexagon design from Ann.
Martha took some cat squares and begged them up in this beautiful design.
And last, but not at all least, here is Fiona’s scrap quilt. Bright and cheerful.
It was lovely to see everyone, and we’re looking forward to next month when we can (hopefully) get back to normal. Happy sewing!
