As you all know we've mostly all gone into stage 4 restrictions and it's been tough on a lot of us. I would urge you to reach out to your friends and family at this time. If you're feeling down don't wait for someone to call you...pick up the phone! A few of us had a silly little virtual "Saturday Sit n Sew" this week which cheered us up immensely. Lots of people are on Facebook. Email someone. Go on! Reach out to people!

| Lockdown again?! |
Many of you have been busy sewing and crafting and I hear that a few ladies have taken this opportunity to learn new skills or develop old ones. There are so many videos and lessons available online, you could learn anything!
 |
Robyn made this quilt out of leftovers from the Mysolation mystery quilt. She decided to make it quilt as you go so that she could practice her quilting skills. Her fingers are cursing her after all that hand sewing!

| Gail made this quilt for a good friend in Queensland. |
 |
Gail learned how to do echo quilting. It brings a lot of movement to the quilt!

Lyn B has been busy making this fantastic maple leaf quilt top. She's waiting very patiently to go out and get some backing for it!
|
Debbie, our new member from Saturday sit n sew, has been very busy making quilts. Here are a few of the ones she's done!
 |
| Kay finished this quilt for her son. She's delighted with the free motion quilting and is keen to practice some more! |
 |
| Grace made this quilt which she's named Zipped rectangles with a twist! It was started in April when we first went into isolation. Grace has also been making the Laundry Basket quilt. |
 |
| I've been making scrubs tops for a friend. The first two were made with fabric I had stashed away since our bus trip to The Patchwork Teahouse so you can only imagine how old that fabric is! This last one is going to feature zoo animals to cheer the kids up at her hospital. |

Can you believe I cut myself on the knob that you press to cover the sharp blade so that you don't cut yourself???
|
Guess who!
Just for a laugh (they'll never send me anything ever again!) guess who these lovely ladies are!
