In the midst of a wintery UK national lockdown, Saturday January 23rd 2021 saw our second virtual Quarto meeting via Zoom. We're all getting so much more confident with virtual get togethers and the day was a real success. With two projects and a book swap, there was plenty to do and share and the excitement of the day was extended into the week after the meeting, with swap books landing on recipients' doormats thanks to the Post Office. Janet Barnett took us through a sewn pamphlet journal with dust cover and paper bead embellished bookmark and Margaret demonstrated a deceptively simple Woven Flexagon with concealed hiding places.
The book swap was a theme-free one and it was lovely to see what everyone had created, keeping to the confines of the postal system's Large Letter guidelines. Sadly, I don't have photos of everyone's creations this time but these are some of the books we swapped:

Karenna also shared photos of her books bound with Portuguese Cork fabric:
At a time when creativity is so important to keep us sane, and when gathering together is impossible, it is lovely to be able to share so much with like-minded book-artists! Here's to April 2021 and hopefully a Zoom hat-trick!
Thanks to everyone who provided photos and apologies this has taken so long to post!
