X-Plus Finish

Today the quilt guild held a meeting in a park. It was our Annual General Meeting which should have been held last August. We know why that didn't happen (hint: pandemic). It had been scheduled for last Saturday, but our snap 5-day lockdown made that impossible too. So today it actually happened, even though current rules meant that only 20 of us could attend.

Early this morning I finished sewing down the binding on my x-plus quilt, so that I could hand it over today to the co-ordinator of the Quilts of Love project.


At the meeting I got someone to hold up the quilt so I could get some photos. The back so you can see the quilting:

And the front:
Rather than crop the photos, I'm showing a bit of the context. We sat in a big circle, keeping 1.5m between each of us so that we didn't have to wear our masks. Some people even did some sewing! (But not me).

A beautiful quilt that someone is going to appreciate and love. A nice spot to all meet up.

A great achievement for your group, flexibility is now a key descriptor of organisations. And the folding chair another covid symbol.

Great you could finally have your AGM even in an unusual setting...
Love your quilt and often you can see the quilting better on the back.

Lovely quilt, some lucky person will treasure that one. the fact that your guild was able to meet in person is a good sign that we are at least moving towards the direction of normal.

That is beautiful! It’s great that you were able to gather for some sewing or chatting!

Probably the best AGM anyone has ever had!
