Sewing in the time of COVID-19 – Week 47

I’d like to point out a few upcoming events:

If you are a member of the Canadian Quilters Association, registration is now open for you to sign up for my Zoom power point lecture on Feb 13. Non-members can register starting Feb 8.

We have a major online quilt festival happening soon – now is the time to register for Virtual QuiltCon!
I am so excited to see all the quilts that the Modern Quilters have made during the pandemic. (eQuilter is a GOLD sponsor for the event.)

Many of you will remember that when Sophie was in middle school, she and several students and teachers became very ill in their school building, which set me on a journey of learning about toxic chemicals that damage humans and other living things. This led me to make the “Rocky Mountain Poison” quilt that was in the “Water is Life” show that premiered at the UN in Geneva. Later, this quilt was used to raise funds for Earthworks, and then it was acquired by the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln Nebraska.

So this long journey has now led me to sponsor an online showing of the award-winning documentary film “The Condor and the Eagle” for friends and customers of eQuilter. The film is being presented by donation only, so it is available to everyone to view. Kathy Price, the director of Mission of Love (one of our 7 charities) will join me on a discussion panel afterwards, along with 2 of the indigenous protagonists from the film. We do hope to raise funds for Mission of Love, Earthworks, and the filmmakers.

SEE LINKS BELOW for more information and registration for these events. Please do join us for the documentary film in 2 weeks. This is something that is very near and dear to my heart…for the indigenous communities, waterways and wilderness being poisoned by extractive industries. The first time I saw the film I was blown away, and I am so grateful we can share this with you.

Feb 13 – Canadian Quilters Association – “Intl Quilt Trends” – registration open now to CQA members – and tickets for Non-Members are open NOW (as of Feb 8) at this new link:
