Sewing in the time of COVID-19 – Week 35
I know most of us are breathing a sigh of relief now that the election season is (almost) over. The virus is spiking around the US so we are all taking extra precautions, and planning a quiet holiday season to keep our loved ones safe. Our Thanksgiving meals will be perhaps simpler, and the silver lining is the opportunity to reflect on our blessings with true gratitude. Sometimes we have to lose something of value (like our usual holiday celebrations) to see what is most important in our lives.
We have joined with the Colorado Quilt Council (CQC) and the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum (RMQM) in an effort to collect and distribute quilts to the 300 families who lost their homes in our terrible wildfires last month.
New and never-used quilts can be shipped to, or dropped off at eQuilter. We request that you give Twin, Double or Queen size bed quilts for these families who are starting over. Be sure to put a label with your name, and perhaps a message of encouragement,on the back of the quilt if possible.
We have donation bins at the front door to drop off donated quilts. We will not receive face-to-face, to protect our staff. Please call us or email if you have questions.
Re our ‘Curbside’ Pickup –
Only available if you bring a working cell phone to call us when you arrive, then we will place your package just outside the front door. Thank you for respecting our efforts to keep everyone here safe, i.e. no face-to-face contact for drop-off or pickup.
with Hope for the Future,
Luana and Paul
