Live, and in person!

Following on our visit to Orillia to meet with the 2020 Annual Team, we were inspired to try our own meetings, the first since the pandemic....so this week we held 2 meetings!

Most recent was a meeting via zoom. This is an online tool that allows folks to meet in a group setting. It’s ideal when you can’t meet in person. We had Brenda Ashton online, and Audrey Shewan joined us for a while. Francine joined in, too...but had issues with audio. We’re meeting this afternoon to see if we can work through them. Here are some screenshots from our call:


As with every gathering, there was a show and tell: Here’s a portion of Audrey’s cat rug:

...and here are some wee ladies I made, also inspired by the Orillia folks:


...and Brenda gave us a tour of the rugs in her home!




We also got to see brenda’s current project, a stunning landscape....I tried to do a screenshot during the meeting but it was blurry, so Brenda sent me a photo this morning. Here are her comments:  My Deanne adaptation. Thanks to Carol shewan and deannne for the intro to painterly..love it

.....and now on to Monday’s gathering in Victoria park in cobourg. We snaffled the area north of the bandstand and on the east side of the parking lot.  It was a hot day, but we were cooled by a lovely breeze. 

There were 17 of us, plus 2 folks from Ajax and Karen Kaiser with all her lovely wools!  Here are some photos from the day:













Check out this gorgeous quilt that Heather made for Claire, in honour of her love of (and work with) dogs!



We had a successful day, so I think you can expect to see us back at the park on our regular Thursday morning, 10 till whenever, starting in August.....weather permitting.  Bring your chair (and a mask, just in case) and be ready to hook, chat and generally be social!
