Piecing things together

There is no doubt that the pandemic takes a bigger toll on some people than others. Some social circles are more productive than others and I can confidently say that if I ever create a quilt, I’d rather do it with the help of a quilting circle. The middle school students and myself accepted the invitation to create large art on panels for the TRAHC outdoor art exhibit. To coordinate with the indoor quilt exhibit, we were told to create quilt like art using paint. However, in our current circumstances of social distancing, a quilt collaboration is quite a challenge...the social circle of collaboration is not an option. There was a lot of tag team and picking up where the class before left off in creating these large works of art. There was a lot done and then redone. The sixth graders watched it all come together and had more of a hand in it than anyone. I can’t wait to see them on display.
