Hello White Rose Quilters.
I hope that everyone & their families are well during lockdown & that you are enjoying the unexpected extra time to get on with new or unfinished projects - I can’t wait to see what everyone has been up to!
The Committee has been catapulted into the digital age by the pandemic & we have had a couple of ‘Zoom’ meetings! We thought that the Blog might be a good way to keep in touch & share what we have been doing during lockdown. If we comment on the posts we can have a digital chat! Through our comments, we can share news, hints & tips, have ‘show & tell’, ask for advice etc. What do you think?
Lis has kindly (and patiently!) talked me through how to post on her Blog so here I am with my first post. Please enter your comments in 'Post a Comment' below the post. IF that box does not appear (it did on the preview but not when I posted!!) then click the 'no comments' box (I know, that doesn't make sense to me either!) & it should magically appear!
Last, but certainly not least, congratulations go to Lis who has won The Quilters Guild, Sue Ridgewell Challenge, with her fantastic quilt 'Golden Eagle'. This year's Conference was due to be held in Stirling and entrants had to create a wall hanging inspired by the title 'Celebrating Scotland'.

And look forward to an email from us with the pattern for block to sew from scraps - the first of a block of the month we hope many of us will have a go at making. You know you need another quilt. Or, if you don't need one, we can find someone who will. I hope you enjoy making it. Janice
ReplyDeleteWell done Jill for your efforts with the blog I look forward to seeing more comments from members Lis&

ReplyDeleteWhat have I been doing during lockdown? Mainly buying fabric, lots of it! Great you might think, time to get creative. Oh no, even though I have projects in mind, I can’t quite bring myself to make that first cut. I take it out, admire it, stroke it lovingly and think about how the colours will work together. It then it all gets neatly folded up and put away, only to be repeated again and again. Is the any cure, please tell me I’m not the only one! Linda
Jill, no you’re not the only one, I’ve only just managed to get going on a project I had in mind in March, meanwhile I’ve been sewing scraps! Mary
