Rainy days make great quilting days! What a wonderful day to stay inside with friends. Some sisters back from the south and others vaccinated and comfortable getting out, then again, some just showed up for the pizza 😉. We don't care what the reason, we are just happy to be together.
We only met on Friday this month due to a conflict but we put in a full day, staying until 9:30 at night. Enjoyed our Pizza and afterward, Phyllis shared a beautiful devotion. We had ten finished quilts for Show and Tell. Take a look at the blog for PHOTOS. We now have nine quilts for the Waukee Police department so will get them delivered and get some additional feedback to make sure we're on track for what works best for them.
Hopefully, our numbers keep rising as people get their
vaccinations and feel more comfortable getting out. Masks are still
required at Hope so rest assured we are working to stay safe. With this
in mind, don't forget about the upcoming retreat! The
dates are April 22, 23, and 24. The room is extra large so we'll
be fine for social distancing but a count will just help us prepare for set
up, so let us know if you plan to attend.
Hopefully, you are able to get out and enjoy the beautiful
weather when it appears, sporadic as it's been! The new growth of the grass and the flowers as well as
buds on the trees always seem to signal the Hope of new beginnings. Let's
pray that this is the beginning of the season of protection and comfort that
allows us the safety to gather once again as we used to!
Happy Sewing!
