Being stuck at home so much, I think a little therapy isn't out of order... We each have our individual and different needs, wants and necessities, but among those, for most of us, is a basic need to connect with other people. Self-quarantining, even with family around, feels a bit like being in solitary confinement, albeit with a few extra perks. I rarely leave the house except for the rare shopping trip to Costco or the market, or a doctor's appointment.
During all this, sewing is a bit of therapy - whether alone or together with sewing friends via Zoom, it's all a way of connecting with something outside myself. This week, managed to make the next block (#11 of 12) in Pat Sloan's Picnic quilt, as well as the second 10 (#11-20) of the Tula Pink City Sampler quilt. Here are my blocks:
'The Spread' - block 11 of the Picnic quilt. Need block 12... NOW! I want to put it all together!
This month's Tula Pink City Sampler blocks (#11-16). This is going to be a fun project!
I still have to put some applique on the scarab blocks for the Murder Mystery quilt but that will have to wait til much later today. I think I need a little morning nap now.
Your tool caddy gave me a terrific idea, have your husband print out a "mask guard" to keep the mask away from your lips not only making it easier to breath but also to talk without the mumbling distortion. If it works, let me know as I'm always pulling my mask away from my mouth to speak clearly and be heard which puts my health more at risk. Thanks
