COVID-19 and the impact on quilting

First and foremost, if you are reading this I hope you and yours are healthy and doing your part to help stop the spread of COVID-19.  With many people staying at home, the amount of quilting projects being completed by many people is staggering and inspiring.

For some of us, myself included, as an essential worker who is now pulling unprecedented levels of overtime, quilting is something we do in stolen minutes.  Even those stolen minutes do add up.

Currently, I'm working on a Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt - the 2019-2020 "Frolic".   Each of the main blocks is 64 individual pieces!  There's a good reason I've included the seam ripper in the picture below!  This is testing my skills in precision cutting and piecing.

The temptation now, is Bonnie having generously created a new mystery just to help the quilting community stay sane during this stay-at-home phase called "Unity".  Oh, the temptation to join in.  If you want to learn more, click this link and head on over to see that Bonnie has planned:  Unity-quilt-along

So I plan on quilting and blogging more, especially as I expect we will one day look back on this time and wonder what we did to stay healthy, stay connected, and stay sane.
