Quilting from home during Covid-19

Our group has not physically met since the beginning of March but that doesn’t mean that we haven’t been busy working at home. I asked my Stitchin’ Sisters to send me photos and a description of what they have been working on at home.

Carole sent these photos

From Paula, I received the following:

Very useful face masks.

 These are the headbands she is making for Canada Sews -Alberta.

I asked Paula about this project and this what she said:

I came across this Facebook group  Canada Sews- Alberta

I joined the group, just recently, and started making headbands, mostly because I had lots of the right size elastic for those.  Below is the blurb from the "About" page. Lots of information and seems to be a well organized page. The files page has patterns, and lists of requests.

I just felt this was something I could do to help with the pandemic effort, 

Canada Sews is a grassroots movement of Canadian sewers supporting our front-line workers during the COVID 19 pandemic. We do so by sewing much-needed items such as fabric face masks*, scrub caps, and ear-saving headbands, upon request. From coast to coast, our community of volunteers is doing what they can to support and thank those saving lives.

You have landed on the Canada Sews - Albert regional page, serving Edmonton and area, Central Alberta and area, and Calgary.

Chapters exist to respect the need to minimize physical contact, efficiently move supplies and finished items, and support our goal to distribute items within the region they were made. For a complete list of chapters and their respective Facebook groups, please visit canadasews.ca/regions. In addition to becoming a member of the national, Canada Sews Facebook group, we encourage you to join the Facebook group that is closest to you.

Faye worked on some of her UFOs. The Victoria hanging flower baskets took over 3 years!

The mauve floral panel still needs binding.

I have done a few things:

I started and finished these counted cross stitch book marks I bought in NZ last year. 

 I made 2 sets of 4 placemats each for my two sons. 

I made quite a few masks, some with folds

And some fitted like these from the Craft Quilter website. 

And I made a larger counted cross stitch from Lori Holt pattern using Oatmeal coloured aida cloth

And I put the binding on 2 quilts - UFO's - Spinning Stars and Lori Holt Farm Girl Vintage 

I hope you've enjoyed looking at our projects; stay safe!
