Stitcher's Guild Reloaded

Making an attempt to at least post a collage from my SWAP attempt this year:

Oh Mahgret! I am so glad you are back at home, what an ordeal. Healing hugs coming your way.

Mahgret, what an ordeal! So happy to hear you are home and better! Bless you, hope you recover well.

I think I am not meant to do SWAP.  I sewed all the items and then just over 2 weeks ago I became terribly ill with pulmonary emboli in each lung and a serious infection in one lung requiring surgery. I spent one week in the ICU, just got home a day ago.  Photos are not happening, todays big event was my niece coming over to wash my hair.

This has been such a terrible year so far, but I'd like to say thank you to indigotiger for her excellent leadership of SWAP, in spite of how things turned out. I hope that we will all be able to gather in future to celebrate our making more fully.

@Melinda_B I know how unappealing it can be to change clothes when it is chilly!

I took my SWAP photos this morning and they are truly awful! It was too hot to iron so I am clean but kind of wrinkled. I figure they will be good to give everyone a laugh. We can use a laugh. I just need to take one with all garments together.

Whereas I'll be taking photos inside with the heating turned up!   

That sounds great, @indigotiger

I'm not really competitive at the best of times, so I am happy to just have a show and tell.

@dementedfairy Would love to see your work! And the masks! I am starting to acclimate to wearing a mask and it just feels like my civic duty, but there is still a tinge of depressing associated with the mask wearing...

That would be brill @dementedfairy !
