Welcome to Episode 17 of the Curly Seams Quilt, Knit and Stitch podcast. So we have entered a strange place in our history as the novel virus Covid-19 takes a hold around the world. At the time of recording we were not in mandatory isolation in the UK but in an effort to prevent any potential spread of the virus we decided to film remotely. This was a new venture for us as we used Quicktime to record a FaceTime virtual get-together, so please forgive any technical issues.

To all of our viewers please stay safe and if you are confined to quarters we hope you find some time to be creative. We look forward to seeing you in again in Episode 18.

We also want to say a HUGE thank you to all our subscribers. We hit 100 on the day off filming episode 16 and we were so happy. It's not a big number but we are super thrilled and to celebrate we have a GIVEAWAY with 3 prizes. To enter the giveaway comment below if you are a Quilter, a Knitter or a Stitcher!
