  HIST30060: My first pandemic quilt

  Last year (2020) I was living at home with my parents. My mum noticed how the pandemic was affecting me mentally and suggested that I make a quilt as a therapeutic tool. It was my first ever quilt, and it took several months. I enjoyed making it so much that I've kept on making quilts ever since. This quilt, therefore, reminds me of the pandemic's silver linings; it forced me to take up a hobby, one that slows me down. This photo is of the quilt on my bed now in Melbourne (2021).

  Coloring Sheet

  Coloring has been therapeutic during COVID-19. Rochester, NY-based artist Shawn Dunwoody made some of his "Legion of Legends" coloring pages available online to encourage everyone during this time.

  Boredom and New Hobbies

  During the quarantine, my family and I have been trying to find fun and creative ways to occupy our time. We recently have been painting quite a bit. I find it really therapeutic and the time flies by when I am doing it.
