While they were here, I began knitting up some of my many varicolored yarns, just to have a portable project while we sat around talking. That evolved pretty effortlessly into "Searching for Order in Difficult Times", which is how I'm spending my stay at home time during this pandemic.
It's pretty large, so this will take a while. That is a good thing while we're sequestered at home. It's also an excuse for binge-watching all seven seasons of The West Wing (I do miss President Bartlet!), and will use up a lot of my perle cotton stash. Not seen in this photo are the needlepoint elements I added during the hand-stitching.
The other activity, of course, like just about every quilter in the country it seems, is making masks. I volunteered to make them for our food pantry workers and the Post Office staff. So that was maybe 40 and I thought I was done. But the library board now has permission to reopen, so they needed them for their staff, and a board member requested some for his family. I'm up to about 55 now and hope to be done. I'm not as generous as some friends who clock in with 100-200-300 and counting. It's not a contest, of course, everybody wants to do her civic duty etc. So here's a photo of masks drying in the sun, and I think as Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I want to say about that."
