In case you didn’t see it elsewhere:
Friday, February 4, 2022 starting at Noon ET you are invited to join in for our 4th Annual National Sew Day!
This year’s online event is being hosted by designer and quilter Paul Leger. Make sure you pre-register here https://www.quiltsofvalour.ca/what-s-new so you receive the Zoom link the day before, and you’ll be entered for prizes (the link to register is the first bullet on that page).
I hope you are all keeping busy during these “brisk” January days. I am truly fortunate that my sewing room is the warmest room in the house, so when the days get “brisk”, I retreat to the sewing room.
It was looking so good for an in-person sew-day, and then it wasn’t. With the climbing numbers, and the growing restrictions, it seems in the best interest of everyone that we postpone the January 18 sew-day. I am disappointed — I had all the fabric cut and everything! I was so looking forward to hearing the hum of conversations and sewing machines.
The National Sew-Day is coming up on Friday February 4. It will be a virtual event again and registration will be posted soon. Some space will be available on Zoom with overflow space on Facebook Live.
Presentations continued into January, but have been put on hold. Outdoor presentations are manageable to a point, but -20 gets a little brisk!
Stay warm! Stay Safe! Happy stitching,
Nancy
