I have some fun news to share. I have joined up with a new Canadian quilt store called Spack Craft Fabric. I love supporting Canadian businesses and I’m always looking for new or new-to-me online and brick-and-mortar shops. When I learned of Spack Craft, I reached out to the owner, Lisa, so I could learn more about her shop.
Have you ever participated in a block of the month quilt? A BoM isn’t the same thing as a mystery quilt. For a block of the month, you know what the final product will be. A mystery quilt is one where you get directions for a block each month but you don’t know what you will get until you’re done. I’ve done both and while a mystery quilt is fun, I prefer the block of the month.
Since February and March, the face of our society has changed significantly. At first, it was learning about the novel coronavirus, then learning how to live with COVID-19 (the disease caused by the virus). Now, as the world tries to reopen and develop a sense of normalcy, the recent chaos in the United States has so many of us watching in fear and despair. In the midst of this, is a blog or Facebook page about quilting really worth anything? Is it a light in a world that is getting progressively darker, or is it inappropriate and tone deaf when others are suffering?
