The normal where I spent my evenings hand sewing, and my days not working I'd do some basic housework and then get the sewing machine out for a few hours.
Before the lockdown was announced I was on a conference call (by phone - how the world has changed!) and I made a list of all the projects I could potentially finish.
How many of them have I finished?
How many of them have I actually even touched?
Did I do any sewing at all?
Yes, but my focus changed. I didn't have the concentration span for working out what pieces went where - what colour went with what, how to do the quilting. The list is endless.
I joined up a fair few scraps, to make other pieces of fabric.
Then made them into pouches. I also did a virtual retreat with Threadhouse where I learned to add tendrils, so added those to a pouch
I took part in a 'Random act of kindness' on Instagram so I made lots of little things, small enough to go in a standard envelope. To be honest, it’s about all I could manage.
In Mid March, I managed to get to Merseymade and had enough room to almost finish my Mystery Quilt.
I've since put the borders on, but its waiting until I've got enough room to spread it out and get it finished. Who knows, maybe some of the get togethers will happen in a month or so. Otherwise it will sit there unfinished for ages.
