I've finished many smaller needlework projects during the pandemic to keep myself occupied. Recently I've taken on the bigger project of making a quilt. The quilt will be made up of quilt squares that have been cross-stitched. This picture is of one of three designs that decorate twelve squares. Since this is my first time doing such a project, my mom is helping. She is currently working on a square of the same design as mine. We don't know how long it will take to complete the quilt but we hope the pandemic is over by then.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
