Peopling

 What a week ... there was a LOT of peopling going on. As we are slowing emerging from the last many months (15 months!) of social distancing, mask wearing, staying home, we are now entering into a - NEW new normal.

M&M (Marjorie and Mary) presented a lecture and trunk show at our guild meeting - Seaside Piecemakers. We showed lots of quilts and talked about what to do with a pile of blocks - orphans, extras, trials and errors. The program was timed with the release of our last block for the 2020/2021 BOM we hosted. 

Sometimes lots of bits and parts are needed to encourage the blocks to play nice together. Other times a little framing (gets them all to the same size) and a wild sashing sets them apart.

And of course there's always a more simple (but still scrappy) sashing from a random, coordinated (matchy) jelly roll.

The lecture/trunk show was followed up with an afternoon class ... How to put YOUR blocks together. It was a fun and busy day and sew much got done.

THEN ... there was a sock knitting class I taught. (knitters AND quilters are my life). I cranked up a whole lot of tubes, headed to Celebration, FL and taught a "Cranky Sock" class.

We spent time with this little darling ... The Capitals Hockey team got knocked out of the playoffs too soon. But we still love hockey!

AND ... we rounded out the week with a public event! We went to a park and socialized with friends and neighbors. We saw smiling faces and ate too much and had the best time.
