July update 3

Many of us had not seen each other for several months, so it was proposed that we have a get together in a members garden. The gathering took place this week in CH's garden with glorious weather. We sat in the sun/shade and had a show and tell with some of the quilts we had been making during the lock-down. It was very nice seeing other members in person, I think we are all missing our monthly meetings. We have been asked our opinion on resuming meetings by the Centre, but so much depends on how stable the virus infection rate stays.

Most of the orphan blocks we collected at our last meeting, have found their way into Linus quilts. Here are some that have not been posted previously.

Being at home more often has made us take a look at all our fabric bits and pieces, so there were a few Scrap box quilts on show. Most of us said we don't seem to have a lot less scraps, despite the number of quilts we have managed to make from them!

Lastly we have a 9 patch block made in response to a challenge the group sent out at the beginning of lock-down, if a few more blocks turn up we may get enough for a group quilt.
