Danielle writes... Greetings from Russell!  I showed your email to my daughter who lives in Kemptville. She placed her quilt that I made for her for her Wedding on her veranda.

The second is a quilt I made. I just thought it was cheerful.  Thanks for this.

National Quilters Day, March 21

These pictures were sent by Gayle Holmes in Kemptville.  

The first blanket was pieced 47 years ago before gender reveal parties.  The others were handed down to me, some likely made in early 1900’s.

Sweet little Sunbonnet Sue

Kim sent this message and photos of her clothes line full of beautiful creations!


 I  received Beth's email today and LOVED the message, I went out in the shockingly cold weather to hang some quilts and take pictures. 

Quilts across Canada...I just love the message of love at such a time when it is so needed.

WOW!!  The response has been great!  Look at this!

I designed and made this quilt so it could be entered in the Spencerville Fair in 2017. Canada's 150 birthday. It won the first prize, the Fancy Work Most Outstanding Homecraft and Grand Champion Quilt ribbon.  From there it went to the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) and came 1st in the district competition.  The final showing was in Toronto where it was hung to be judged for best fair quilt in Ontario. Although I did not place, I felt very honoured to have had a quilt, I designed and made, go so far and get viewed by so many. It is the quilt I am proudest of whether it comes with or without the ribbons and honours.

VIRTUAL SEW & TELL March 19

I'm sure I'm not the only quilter who has been getting a lot of sewing done lately!  The situation with self isolation and social distancing has really changed life for everyone.  And what better way to turn a difficult situation into a productive one than to get out that fabric a MAKE SOMETHING!!

What ever you are working on is of interest to other quilters!  Please send pictures to me  at (pat.kiteley@gmail.com)  finished or not, and I'll post to this VIRTUAL SEW& TELL page. 
If you hang quilts out for March 21st, National Quilting Day, send those pic too!  That’s Saturday!


Here's today's submission... OUR FIRST!

Linda deVerno  and a picture of her Covid-19 quilt.  Working on curves during the pandemic.  It sure threw a curve to the world.

More curves!  From Linda DeVerno. This was a UFO from a workshop with Cathy Price. Reverse appliqué technique.

Thanks Linda!
