Some people know that Bonnie Hunter over at www.quiltville.com usually does a free mystery pattern every year. She is providing a new one called Unity at the moment. It uses three colours plus neutrals and is very scrappy. Her version is in blue, red and aqua, but obviously you can use whatever colours you fancy.
The temecula quilt co are also doing a stay at home sampler which you can access through their website or Facebook.
My quilting beehive have a marvellous mystery pattern.
Www.quiltedmemoriesllc.com have a haunted cottage BOM.
The Quilt Room have a free sew a row.
Www.spencerogg.com have several free bag patterns. The doorstep care pod is particularly appealing. (Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the pattern)
If you fancy any of the projects but don’t have the supplies (Heaven forbid!) just remember that lots of shops are trying to save their businesses by continuing to supply to online customers.
I recently received an order from Empress Mills, although it did take a little longer than usual.
Other businesses still operating are the Scarborough Sewing Centre (great prices!), the Fabric Guild, Frumble Fabrics, and the Bramble Patch. Try and support them if you can.
Many thanks to Nik for giving me most of this information.
As to meetings, the immediate future is still unclear. It’s looking unlikely that our May meeting will go ahead, but I’ll keep this blog up to date so check back.
Happy sewing!
