Social Distancing and NTT

Happy Needle and Thread Thursday, friends.  My, how things have changed just since our last party two weeks ago.  I don't think I've ever felt more ecstatic to score a pack of chicken breasts and toilet paper at the grocery store, school is at home for at least the next couple of weeks (and probably even longer), and I've had to postpone my upcoming trunk shows and workshops.  Oh, COVID-19, you really have messed things up good.

Aside from a quick Spring Break trip to visit my parents and grandparents (only at their houses and definitely practicing social distancing), I've been glued to the rather horrifying media coverage for the past week, and sewing pretty sparingly.  I did manage to finish the quilt top I was working on, as well as the back, and today I finally got around to basting it (raining outside again today though, so no picture beforehand).

I am sure that after the initial shock of this snowballing pandemic wears off, I'll be getting plenty more time in my studio.  That's what I'm hoping for anyway.  I think we could all use a little diversion these days.

So, without further ado, let's get to the highlights from last week's party!  This mesmerizing quilt by Jayne at Twiggy and Opal is so striking!

I love this Meadowland quilt by Janine at The Sweetest Dreams.  Every time I see a Meadowland quilt, I want to share it.  I think this pattern is going on my to-do list!

And oh. my. gosh.  Just look at the yummy texture on this Swoon quilt by Liz at Savor Every Stitch.  That's free motion goals right there!

So, how are you staying busy during this time of social distancing?  I hope you're getting lots done (and I hope you have been able to find your groceries and toilet paper, too!).

Before we party, don't forget to visit my last post to enter the giveaways, and take advantage of some of the great things going on in my favorite shops, and you might also want to hop over to my Etsy shop too.  I have a very rare sale going on, just in case you need something special to occupy your time.  :)

Happy social distancing, and don't forget to wash those hands.  Party on, y'all!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)
