Are You Stitching? from Luann's Loose Threads

Hello Friends

Right now most all of us are in some stage of a stay at home order or quarantine. So I'm wondering if you are stitching and being productive or if you're in the same boat as me. I seem to flit from one project to another and can't seem to settle on anything that will hold my interest for more than 10 minutes. It really irritates me that I have all of this time on my hands and can't seem to focus. I have to tell you that I really admire all of you ...

On Spring Market and Other Things from Terificreations's Weblog

Sometimes it feels like I’m a little late to the party making announcements or doing what the other quilt pros are doing, like making video content or podcasting. So here goes. Spring Quilt Market in Pittsburgh is cancelled. The link takes you to their official statement and below is an official statement from them: regarding… Continue reading On Spring Market and Other Things

I’ve Lost All Track of Time & Other Thoughts During This Pandemic from Where Art & Life Meet

I know today’s Thursday because I post a new blog Tuesdays and Thursdays, and also because I have my glasses on and my iWatch conveniently tells me that it’s Thu April 23rd. I also now know that it’s cloudy outside, and at this moment 42℉. Of course, one is putting a great deal of faith… Continue reading I’ve Lost All Track of Time & Other Thoughts During This Pandemic

Connecting & Community Through Art During the Pandemic from Where Art & Life Meet

I haven't stepped foot out of our house since Saturday, but I have had hundreds of interactions with people from all over the world, which is both amazing and delightful. Community. During a period when we cannot actually be with our friends and extended family, connecting over common interests is all the more desirable.

Eight weeks ago today, I posted my first video to the YouTube Channel I created, On the Other Hand. Yesterday I hit 1,000 subscribers!

Pandemic Sew-In from Quilting Solutions

Are you bored being "stuck" at home? I want to say, "Get over it!," but that is not fair. There are many who go to work everyday to provide for their families and don't have time to learn how to keep busy at home. I remember that all I wanted to do when I got home from work was to put up my feet and have a good book handy. Well, we are all learning a somewhat different way of life.

I am retired and have lived a life of busy-ness having raised a large family with lots of ...

Courage is not the Absence of Fear… from Where Art & Life Meet

I’m not sleeping much these days. The up-side is I’m getting a ton of stuff done. Also, photographs of empty New York City streets, though eerie, have a certain grace to them. I only venture out every few days, but when I do, I’m struck by the same things: the exquisite beauty of New York… Continue reading Courage is not the Absence of Fear…

Here We Are: A City & its People Transformed from Where Art & Life Meet

The juxtaposition of the dire and frightening, with the joy and hopefulness that inevitably arrives with spring and warmer weather, is on display everywhere here in New York City, the city that has been my home for almost 40 years. At no time in my life have I been more aware of death. The collaborative… Continue reading Here We Are: A City & its People Transformed

Coping and the Pandemic In New York City from Where Art & Life Meet

The Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom here in New York City, and they’ve parked a mobile morgue six blocks from where I live on 7th Avenue. Both are off-white. Life has utterly changed in such a short time, it has left most of us reeling. And yet, we find ways to adapt. It is… Continue reading Coping and the Pandemic In New York City

New York City During the Pandemic from Where Art & Life Meet

New York City has now earned the dubious distinction of being the epicenter of the pandemic. I know 6 people whose doctor’s believe they are sick with COVID19, though without the ability to test anyone unless they are incapable of breathing on their own, it’s impossible to verify, and another handful of people who are… Continue reading New York City During the Pandemic

Sweet Sixteen from From the Strawberry Patch...

Sweet Sixteen ~ 65" X 80" My guiding word for 2020 is "VISION"; the vision to see what's right in front of me-- namely, projects already begun and loads and loads of pre-cut pieces leftovers saved from other quilts (scraps!). Little did I know that the state of the current health pandemic would offer me nothing but time at home to realize that vision. This completed flimsy is off the design

Weekly update: still sewing from With Strings Attached

Have you entered the Orphan Adoption yet? See this post -- drawing will be tomorrow, 3/24.

(c) WiseHearts

It's been surreal, hasn't it? The first pandemic in the age of social media* means that the true, useful news and advice are overwhelmed by rumor, federal ineptitude (though Dr. Anthony Fauci is a national treasure), and attempts at humor (sometimes funny, sometimes stupid). I am grateful to Dr. Fauci and the unnamed doctors, scientists, and lab technicians who are working on test kits and a vaccine. I am grateful for all the "essential" personnel who are running cash registers ...

Sunday Sewing from Quilt Doodle Doodles...

I hope this note finds you well and happy. Week one of hubby working home has gone well. We are settling into our new work routine. I have enjoyed having lunch with him everyday. He's added more screens in the home office and I look forward to using them when life returns to normal. Multiple computer screens will be so handy for when I do pattern writing. I've moved my computer to the kitchen table, I have been enjoying the sunshine as I work.

Instead of working on my own sewing this weekend, I reached out to my ...
