On the third Saturday of the month my quilt guild has begun a tradition of hanging quilts in the front of their homes as a source of enjoyment for the community and as a thank you for the essential workers during the pandemic. My April display was described in
my post for 4/22/20. For the month of June, we were asked to hang quilts which leaned toward a masculine theme for Father's Day. This was my display for June. After each photo are the names of the quilts and a link to a post that tells more about each.

This monthly tradition is fun and makes for a lot of reminiscing. But I do wonder... what happened in May 2020?
Another great display, and a good rotation. Did you hang quilts out for May and forget to photograph them, or was it not until June that the guild decided to make It a monthly thing, if you hung them, photographed them, then forgot, the photo roll on your phone or camera should tell you that!
