Welcome back. The weather has been very April-y lately. We have days of sunshine, when it is warm enough to sit outside with our hand sewing and days when we wake up to snow. Bring on the nice weather!
Meanwhile, I hope you have been finding ways to keep busy in yet another stay at home time. I find being creative can really raise my mood on a blah day.
I have a new batch of creativity to show you.
First, Anita has not been feeling well, because she managed to contract Covid-19 while in hospital However, she decided to show off a couple of hand made gifts she has received. The first is a prayer shawl, made for her by her friend and former minister, Gwen Ament.
Next are baby socks made for her new granddaughter, Violet, due in September. These were made by Kate (that's me!)
Diane Watchorn would like everyone to know that her broken wrist is healed enough for her to get back to quilting. She made a two sided tablecloth, using Bonnie Hunter's scrappy patterns Forever Mine and Tulip Time.
Helen adopted this top with prestamped embroidery designs and has finished the top now.
Joy is using up some kits she has bought. She finished this rag quilt from a kit she got from Connecting Threads. She says it is pretty but a "Pain in the patootie to make".
I have been using up some of the supplies that I have. This week, I made two wallets, using the pattern "Roxy" by Serial Bagmakers. Everything was in my stash.
Marion Roussie also made a reversible project. this is a bed runner made from ties. She made it for her best friend whose husband past away last summer. He belonged to toast masters and had many different ties to accompany his speeches.
Once again, lots of inspiration for future projects. Our next Show and Tell is May 10. I hope to see lots more pictures, then. Perhaps since it is the day after Mother's Day, we can have some pictures of quilts you have made for your own children or grandchildren (or nieces and nephews).
Kate
