Lockdown Quilts 2020

With the whole world in various stages of lockdown with the Covid 19 virus, peoples lives were completely uprooted.  Some lost loved ones', some were isolated for months on end and others suffered in countless ways.  It however did not deter the ladies from our Guild to continue quilting away.  Iessie Steenberg, one of our teachers, took the initiative to start a WhatsApp quilting group learning the members new techniques and just in general keeping their quilting spirits alive and inspired.
