I think I am the only president elect to ever be impeached before I was in office. Found a Modern Guild & am so excited!

Though the fiber community has lost a valuable member, you have lost a true friend. My heart goes out to you...

I find that platform is OK for people to give presentations, anything where only one person talks at a time, but terrible for conversations, which was the joy of the group when we could meet in person. Because three of our members are immunocompromised we continue to meet on zoom but I fear that we'll never get back to what we used to be.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-71621302438703593592021-11-01T06:52:57.947-04:002021-11-01T06:52:57.947-04:00the art group I started is a Covid fatality.

I tried to keep it going with zoom meetings but some memvbers preferred to do something easier like find a pattern and be 'creative' by changing the colors or moving one line a half inch to the left---it is very disappointing and I don't know if I have the courage or energy to try again to form a new group<br />sylviaweir.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194373854922827096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-24779606242116316862021-10-31T08:15:51.973-04:002021-10-31T08:15:51.973-04:00Your post struck such a chord with me as I am watc...Your post struck such a chord with me as I am watching the breakdown of a longtime art quilters group. It was limping along before Covid, but lack of in person meetings and social media skills/inclination may have done it in. Aging members have gotten other interests or have stopped making much. Refreshments are creeping into the picture.
