Community Quilts 477 to 483

2 06 2020

I’ve been a bit slow with the Community Quilts posts. First, there was a change of CQ coordinators in our state’s guild (that always delays things as new people coming into the role get familiar with what needs to be done), then there was a lack of prepped quilts (i.e. sandwiched, pin basted, bagged, ready to quilt), then there was the issue of getting the prepped quilts to me, and then me returning them (our state’s internal regional ‘borders’ were all closed for a month or so, and it was only 2 weeks ago that I could go to Perth from where I live). At a personal level was the discombobulation that I’m sure many have felt throughout March, April, and May as world and local events changed rapidly as a result of responses to COVID-19. I know that I couldn’t focus on many things I would normally do as a form of relaxation, such as quilting.

Anyhow, once my brain was in a better place, I knocked off these seven and was able to deliver them to Perth a week or so ago when I picked up my new sewing machine (a Pfaff Performance Icon). I also collected another two bags of quilts for quilting, so hopefully I won’t take so long with those.
