As I mentioned previously the quilting guild I belong to had our first "in person" meeting last night. Once we had shown proof of vaccination, we could, it we felt comfortable doing so, take off our masks. All of the 20 members showed up, obviously eager to get back into meeting as we had been doing. So much to talk about, revealing our challenge from last year and having a show and tell of some of the work every has been doing. J reported our group had made 220 placemats for the Meals on Wheels clients, they will be given to the M o W's, next month so they can give them to the clients the first part of December. A number of quilts will also be donated to the Woman's Shelter and the chemo unit at the hospital. For those who wanted to do another challenge, they were also given all of the information and some of the things that had to be used, this one will be due in June of next year. It's going to be interesting. One of the members also tendered her resignation from the group, she finds it just too difficult to sew and does not drive at nighttime anymore. H was the person who introduced me to this guild, so I will miss her but, will still keep in touch.
Got most of the gardening taken care of yesterday, just a couple of things left to do. The leaves are still green on our trees, so we could be picking them up at Christmas if they don't change colour and fall soon.
It is dark, dreary and raining today and could be wet for the next few days. The only plus, it is not snow.
Got a few housework chores to do, then going into my sewing studio and get busy on the quilt I am doing at present and also research some ideas for our challenge.
Dinner tonight salmon not sure what else. Time will tell.
Have a great day.
Oh, I love salmon and have it at least once a week! Your quilting club sounds very industrious. Before the pandemic I was attending a crafting group that was making "Twiddlemuffs" for seniors with Alzheimers or dementia. We would distribute them to LTC homes but that's not happening at the moment.
