Pandemic Quilt
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. -

It reminds me of when I was a kid, and how during hockey intermissions, with no action on the ice, my dad would entertain me by having us each pick a zambonie and see whose would win the “race” to clean the ice first. -
