This and That Thursday - 6/18/20

We have been enjoying glorious June weather. On Tuesday afternoon, my friends came for a sit and sew and "show and tell" in my backyard. As you can see, we observed the social distancing directives. Because of covid-19, I was not able to serve lunch; each brought her own food and drink. I did provide a basket of individually wrapped, sanitized treats. :-) :-)

This group of wonderful women first came together many years ago on Wednesday nights at Quilters Compass in Quincy. When the quilt shop closed, we decided that that was no reason that we should not continue to get together on Wednesday evenings, so we have taken turns hosting every two weeks. Sometimes there was not a lot of sewing accomplished, but the friendship, conversation, and food was always first rate. :-) We have not gotten together since the world turned upside down in March.

One of our group was unable to make it on Tuesday, and boy did she miss an awesome show and tell session. :-) Just look at what my talented friends have been up to . . .

Liz showed this bright, colorful quilt that she made for her husband.

Next up was Edith with her improv quilt.

Check out the back art.

 Even her top matched the colors in her quilt!

Maribeth has been super busy.  This spectacular chandelier quilt had about a zillion pieces!!! She was inspired by photos that she saw on Pinterest.  Click on this image to see the lovely quilting that was done by Jill Wiffen of Easton.

Maribeth has yet to met a tiny piece of fabric that she does not like!!!

All in all, it was a perfectly lovely way to spend an afternoon during these troubled times.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Have hope.
