Quilter's Guild of Ireland (with the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland DCCI) are running a 'Keep Well Campaign'. Promoting individual and community resilience, focusing on 'Switching Off and Being Creative'. 

This video  is similar to Video 6b, but taken from a different angle. 

The idea behind it is to: ‘switch off, be creative, and to learn something new’. We're creating blocks 10 inches finished, and most importantly have invited our friends and families. 

Mary Palmer takes you through creating a block. Even if you've never sewn before, Mary P will walk you through it. Here you'll learn how to do the simplest of Foundation Piecing. It really is simple, but it's also easy to go wrong. Not trying to scare you, just warning you to pay attention. 

When we're finished creating the blocks, they'll all be put together as a quilt(s) A long arm quilter has volunteered to quilt at least some of them. [We're optimistic that we'll get many blocks, making many quilts]
