Color therapy

With so much bad news in the world, it’s hard to write about quilting. But these are the things that help us move on from tragedy, that help raise spirits with beauty and accomplishment. It’s times like these that our souls need quilting (or something like it if that’s your thing) to create something that may comfort another human being. (Of course, activism, community service and practicing kindness in everyday interactions are always options too.)

Onward.
