Story time! I recently finished this English-paper-piecing-hand-quilting-scrap-busting project. The scraps are from a throw-sized quilt I made for a school project in my last year of my education degree, when I didn’t have any more Music classes to take. The drastic switch from four years of arts to a full year of curriculum and policy kind of broke me. Aside from a few psychology classes, which I enjoyed, the one class that really kept me going was called “Art Across the Curriculum.” The final project was to just ✨make something✨ so, in the dead of winter, I decided to make a quilt. I don’t think I connected it to curriculum at all but it gave me a lot of life to invest in a creative project during an otherwise dreary time. The quilt and now this lil tote are both great reminders to me to take time to work on slow, creative, joyful projects.
