Although I have less time to quilt than some, as I'm considered an essential worker by my employer, I still am quilting more than in the past. The self-isolation has also meant there is less opportunity to get together with my quilting friends, or does it?
As I continue to work away on a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt project, my quilting friends have created a Skype group and this group assembles almost daily to chat, to share, to support, and to just be there for each other. We go online for hours at a time, sometimes with lots to chat about, and sometimes just using quiet companionship.
While I continue to miss out on my local quilt guild gatherings, these virtual gatherings are a source of inspiration and comfort in these uncertain times. I'm blessed to have an amazing husband home with me, but my quilting friends understand the frustration and drive for matching corners and points in a way my wonderful partner hasn't experienced.
I hope you are finding creative and safe ways to share and stay in contact with your quilting friends too.
