How are you all doing?
Who knew that we had a Super Power in a crisis such as this?
Most of us who sew have been involved in the massive Facemask and PPE sewing project going on all across this country and indeed around the world. But many of us are exhausted, and so I hope that our weekly e-newsletter here gives you a chance to rest and enjoy some eye candy amidst the chaos.
This week I have received a flood of emails with cancellations for quilt events through September. I think it is safe to say that nobody knows where we will all be and what we may or may not be doing this Fall. In my 20s I studied Buddhist philosophy, and I must say those concepts are coming in very handy right now. I would guess that for many of us, our connection to a Divine Consciousness is a big part of what gets us through these challenging and very confusing times.
Sophie and I were invited to a House Concert with an internationally-known violinist, and it had to be on Zoom because of the shutdown. She played for us, from her apartment in New York City. After she played, she answered questions about what is happening there. I will spare you the details, but by the end we had joined her in tears. It is hard to fathom how some people are indignant about wearing masks and distancing in public.
Our eQuilter staff continues to work long days to keep mask-making supplies in stock, and to keep up with your orders. Everyone here knows they are part of this nationwide effort to keep healthcare workers and frontline citizens safe. We are still practicing very strict health and safety protocols here, for our staff, and for our customers.
Please do share our Mask-Making info-page with anyone who might be interested in sewing face masks or other PPE for their community. eQuilter is still a collection point for our local sewing volunteers to drop off masks for healthcare and frontline workers in Boulder County. Elastic goes in and out of stock weekly. Contact customer service to be put on a notify list, or search for ‘COVID’ to see what is in stock daily.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
