The beauty of having such a great studio is that I can work on several things at once - piles of future projects, fabrics I want to do something with, patterns with fabrics already chosen. And I can put aside these piles to do something quick. Last week I was dismissed from Physical Therapy after 8 months. My two main therapists were terrific. As a thank you, I made them each a Mors bag and put a loaf of pumpkin bread in each. And my hairdresser Juanita requested two masks - periodic table and chemical elements - for her son who is in med school. Such great fabrics.
The big project for the past week has been this big broken blue heart for a family grieving the loss of their 8-year old. I will start quilting this today. It’s created great sadness on the studio accompanied by a deep appreciation for today. Despite my heart racing over Tuesday’s election.
Four years ago after the election and Trump victory, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. That effort soon ended. He is a selfish, shallow buffoon. I sure hope this heart isn’t symbolic of the next four years. While I’m thankful to him for how productive I have been during the past four years, I would love to slow down a bit and take some deep breaths...
