Howdy all! I run a quilt guild on discord, and we do some fun events like 'Round Robin' (Everyone sends a block to a person, and they receive another block - and it keeps going until you get yours back.) This is my entry for this year's. Do you do any fun things involving quilting?
Oh my gosh the ducks!! I love the colors. I like doing BOMs but I am very bad at keeping up.
Aww. Blocks of the month are fun, but hard for me to keep up too. I'm kind of a zoom-zoom piecer. I want to do it all at once! lol.
Great question! And I do! I haven’t done a Round Robin, and would certainly enjoy it, (I love yours) but here are quilting my quilts social things:
I love Instagram sewalongs, and just finished the Alison Glass Trinket. I post as @anjnpr. You can see the blocks I’ve done there. Also, my past projects are well documented. It is really fun for me to see how others interpret their designs.
I’ve taken a few lecture monthly BOM classes. Last year I did The Quilt Show Garden Party Down Under.
My first retreat this year resulted in a small group of fellow quilter friends who are meeting monthly to just hang out while hand sewing and talking about our projects and other typical chatty things. Four of us are making the Janeen van Niekirk Tiny Houses for entry into our local quilt show next spring as a group project.
I got brave and entered three quilts in our local show a year ago and two of them received ribbons.
I love talking about quilts almost as much as making them, and have found that they are a great way to make wonderful friends IRL and online.
@anjnpr Followed! You sound like your life is so full of joy. That's fantastic! I don't get out physically, much, so online is the best option for me - so with a group of like-minded quilters, we made a discord guild for us. I enjoy talking about quilts, and chit chatting about our lives. It's nice to have people who enjoy similar interests in my life.
I think online quilting friends are amazing! I’ve got several I’ve gotten to know from Instagram. I love how we all speak the same quilty language and can instantly bond through our love of this art.
