Hello, quilting friends! Many, if not most of us, are home.
Along with a myriad of responsibilities, you may have some time to create. Some
are jumping in and have found the creative process to be calming and helpful in
this stressful time. Understandably, others may be finding it hard to focus and
create anything! Well, here are some resources, projects and other bits of
inspiration to get us going!! If you have favorite sew-alongs, quilt shops or
other recommendations, post on IG and/or FaceBook and tag the Seacoast Modern
Quilt Guild! Happy Creating!
