| Backing fabric |
We've been together since the fall of 2019. One of our members moved from Oregon to Kansas, so now our sew days are hybrid meaning one can attend in person or via Zoom. Some of our members who live nearby choose to Zoom. They may not want to drag their supplies and machines to our sew day. They may be providing care to a loved one or they may recovering from an illness or surgery. We are glad that we can meet this way and still be "all together" in spite of where we are! That evening, I trimmed the back and cut the batting.
Tuesday, I went to the Gresham Senior Center and dropped off my "bundle" to be quilted. I picked a computerized quilting design and the thread for the project. I don't know when I'll get it back; but I'm not in any hurry!
The senior center has a huge area for dedicated to quilting which includes a longarm to quilt projects. Volunteers learn how to use the longarm. The fees in turn support the center. Of course, when I returned home, I realized that I hadn't taken a photo of the bundle or any photos at the senior center. Oh well. . . .I'll share the fabric for the back!
Trimming the threads and making an appointment with the longarmer were goals one and two on my April list.

Beautiful backing fabric! :-)
That is a pretty backing, Terry! Your group sounds very enjoyable, too. Aren't you thankful for Zoom? Who knew - 5 years ago - that we would come to rely on it for so many gatherings?! And I love the volunteer program at your senior center where you can get quilts long-armed - what a great idea!
Such beautiful backing that will be Terry. What a neat idea for the senior center! Happy Stitching!
