My quilt guild meeting was supposed to be held Saturday, March 14, where we were to enter our guild challenge quilt that I had been working on since November. Actually I had finished mine in December but I was so excited to show everyone what I had done... and to post pictures here!
It has been 3 1/2 weeks now and I know this will go down in history AND I know I should be writing about it but I am still dumbfounded by it all. For introverts like me I LOVE this time, I don't have to interact with people and I can sew all day. But then I watch the news and it scares me, no it terrifies me! I worry about my parents in WI and really wished they didn't live that far away. But I check on my mom daily to make sure they are wearing masks when going out... not that they should be going out except for groceries and medicines.
And if anyone is reading this years later, YES we had to wear masks in public. There are a lot of tutorials on how to make masks with household items but when you are a quilter like me you have fabric for the entire world! But it takes time.
My sister-in-law asked me if I could make a total of 19 for her and family and friends. I was hesitant at first only because I had never made one and it made it seem that more real. But I did and I'm glad I did. I dropped them in the mail yesterday and felt good that I had given 5 people a little hope for not contracting this disease.
Stay safe and stay at home everyone. What they keep saying on the news is that we need to "flatten the curve."
