How about, instead of sewing quilt squares, people who know how
to sew could be making face masks and donating
them to hospitals and other health care providers to save lives?
My wife, Sarah Roberts, has made over 150 masks and also has passed
along fabric to others who are making them.

Hi Bob, Liz, and others.
Very cool idea Bob!
If you set that up with your group, can you share the messaging???
I shared Sam Bartlett's Stuntology on our Ottawa Contra FB group page
this week and suggested we all watch it together. Nothing's been
formalized here though.
Re your question about a calendar of online events, CDSS has this one:
https://www.cdss.org/covid19/online-events. It requires folks to post
their events and so there isn't a lot up there yet. However, I think
that there will be more promotion of the calendar in the next little
while.
Belfast Flying Shoes is encouraging some online jamming along with the
Belfast Bay Fiddlers. I've got something similar in the works here in
Ottawa but need to test some stuff first.
I think there's so much more that we could be doing too... like
encouraging folks to sew quilt blocks that can be assembled later.
(Thinking back to when I got married, we had a theme of HEARTS --- all
blocks had to have a heart(s). The only other thing we stipulated was
the size of block and encouraged folks to use bright colours. The end
result was a super lovely colourful quilt.)
Anyway, would love to hear what others are doing!
