Mostly we stay home and watch the news and old movies. I finished the commissioned pillow cover, "Surely Shirley" which referenced Shirley Chisholm, and sent it off to Ohio. It used up quite a lot of various yarns, as well as many remnants from "Searching for Order in Difficult Times." And it seems to be at home in its new environment.
Next?? Well, we've talked a lot about what we can do to recognize and deal with racism in our area. Reading, watching documentaries, talking. Feeling pretty helpless, to be truthful. Then I saw notice that the wonderful Carolyn Mazloomi is organizing exhibitions in Minneapolis titled "Racism: In the Face of Hate We Resist." That very day i sent in application information for "Flyover 5: Chains/Rope/Shame"--and received an enthusiastic acceptance email the next day! She is a great organizer and inspiring speaker, and her story quilts open the mind. Once we know times and places, I think we'll travel to Minneapolis to see the exhibit sponsored by The Textile Center and the Women of Color Quilters Network. This, at least, I can do..
