Final Post

It seems like so long since we have been able to gather.  So much has changed in our lives, and today begins a new change for Jim and Sarah.  Today is the last official day of the store being open.  This will be the last post.  We are all going to miss being able to pop into Ben's for a great sale.    We are blessed to live in a small community which will continue to provide opportunities for us to gather again.  While clubs will be changing and evolving, our friendships and love of our craft remain.  

Wishing Jim and Sarah much happiness in this next life adventure!

How about a Show & Tell?

So hard to believe this is our second Moda Club to be cancelled.

I know many of you have been working on Masks for Marquette, and spending time in your sewing rooms.   Please email me pictures of what you have been doing.  (Including all those masks you've made)  I will do a Facebook Show & Tell on this Wednesday.   wentela@chartermi.net

People always like to know the name of the pattern you have completed, and anything else you would like to share about this project.  I will copy your message.   I miss you all and the creativity you inspire!   Stay safe.  Don't be shy!   Please play along.

New Fabric is still arriving

 Abby Rose,  from Moda

 Tree of Life, from Northcott

 Anna Mary, sent me a picture of a miniature she worked on.  

 

A great way to use some scraps.  These little quilts are always a challenge to me, and fun to do.

I have a few Show & Tells to share...Have to share this one that made me laugh.   I've been knitting baby sweaters.  They are quick projects, like a puzzle..I posted a picture, 

and then found this on my daughter's post.....

Looking forward to hearing from you all!  Longing for the days we can gather again and share a warm hug.  Thankful to have a hobby to pass my time while quarantined.   Can't wait to see what you all have been up to.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
