Well, what can I say? These are strange, surreal times. Has anyone really processed it all yet? Can we even?
At least we can make! I’m sure we’ve all seen a meme or a joke about how quilters have always been prepared for self isolation and staying home. Of course, for those of us with kids at home or having to figure out work in all of this that presents a challenge for sure. Thinking about all the words we want to say, all the emotions we are feeling, and knowing that making helps our mental health SO MUCH I designed a simple improv block. And I filmed a tutorial to share.
Exclamation Point is the first in a series of videos I am calling 5 Minute Improv. Grab some scraps and you can make a block in 5 minutes. Sneak in the sewing when you can or make a mountain of blocks to help you process all the feelings. They are part of a bigger venture called Quilters’ Playcation. More on that soon! For now, enjoy your making. At least we still have that.
