2020 bom
 

Finishing this one was bittersweet. My "go to" LQS, the one which I have been participating in the Saturday Sampler/BOM for the last 6 years had become a casualty of COVID19. I am so sad. I hope once the pandemic has receded another quilt shop might offer something similar. In addition to many great quilts made, I will miss meeting up with so many other talented quilters, chatting about quilting, show & tell and of course being in a fabric store. This one is really scrappy, but would look great in coordinated fabrics/colors. Thanks for looking :-)

I sympathize with you and the owners of your LQS. And I think your work and your quilt are beautiful. MY LQS is about 35 miles away, owned by another that's about 60 miles away that's larger. I hope they don't have to merge to stay in business.

Your quilt is so beautiful and light filled. You have done a great job. I too am saddened about the loss or you LQS. Covid is claiming so many small businesses.

Beautiful quilt! (I thought it was a Burgoyne Surrounded until I blew it up.) So sorry about your LQS, Ekuw. Maybe those same quilters will still be around when a new store opens. Hope so!

Very pretty quilt. Sorry so many businesses are being shut down because of this terrible covid.

Your quilt is beautiful. I am so sorry for the loss of your happy place. This covid is the worst in the country here in Arizona at this time. I don't even want to go out for milk and bread. I hope brighter days are ahead for you and all of us.

Absolutely wonderful

Great job on your quilt! Thank goodness we have the internet to keep us connected to other quilters at this time of no gatherings.

Your quilt is beautiful! I too am saddened by the closures of many of my favorite shops. Hopefully, the new year will bring better opportunities for small businesses to thrive.

That's a wonderful quilt!
So many closings- so much hardship for so many. I'm hoping better times are around the corner. I think I speak for all of us. :)

Very Pretty!!!! Awesome color choices and prints of fabrics. Lucky Recipient!!

Nice job on the quilt. When I looked at the small pic, I saw Xs inside of Os. So sorry about your quilt shop. I love the feel of fabric and visual pleasure of a quilt shop. Sorry to see many closing.

This is a lovely pattern and you did a beautiful job. I understand your feelings. My LQS is only doing curbside at the moment and we hope that she is getting enough orders to stay in business.

Love the quilt!

Love the quilt! I hate to hear another shop is closing. :(

I love your scrappy quilt. You did a great job on it. I am so sorry that your LQS closed. I do feel so bad for all of the small businesses that have had to closed their doors. I too miss my group of ladies that used to meet together just to chat, sew and have social time with. It does get quite lonely sometimes.
