Peace of Mind

| preparing to trim excess batting and backing from a recently machine-quilted QOV April 2020 |
The national QOV foundation has included a disclaimer on the request for a volunteer longarmer that the those filling out the form agree with quarantine conditions, i.e. social distancing, not working on projects when ill, disinfecting surfaces, etc.
No QOV will be awarded to veterans until June or possibly later, depending on public health timelines.
Hopefully, these guidelines will give volunteers the peace of mind to continue making QOV and/or to continue machine quilting QOV.
Nice to know the process can continue safely!
ReplyDeleteGlad you can still have your quilts quilted.
ReplyDeleteI was nervous about buying fabric online until I realized....I could wash it. Lol. It went right in the machine from my gloved hands and it frayed a bit but I trimmed off the ends and was good to go. It's an apron now.
ReplyDeleteI find it ironic that your quilter was in SD. When I requested a quilter for one of our group's QOV this past winter, I couldn't even get a response from the foundation. After 2 months with no responses I ended up just having it done locally and I paid for it myself as my donation.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that they are thinking of these things.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad such precautions are in place but saddened that all of this is going on. And for how long? It seems to be never ending and now "they" are saying it will come back this fall, possibly even worse than the first time.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Oh, boy! Ripples I hadn't thought about for the QOV program!
ReplyDeleteQOV is smart to ensure these guidelines are followed !
ReplyDeleteYes I had a similar thing happen. The Peyton Heart Project is on hold also. I am still making hearts I will stockpile them. We have to keep everyone safe!
