She calls it the Pandemic Quilt because she made it entirely out of fabric she already had (she does quilting a lot) and never left the house to get anything for it. Even the core is a blanket we already had.

... of a tree lined town's street - saying -

Quarantine day #10
"Dinosaur's Reclaim The Land"

Two people dressed up in full dino costumes walking in the street -
1 grey Triceratops, 1 dull orange Tyrannosaurus Rex


Priceless! 😂

Well, hers and those donated to her by family and friends.

She's calling it the "Real Covid Cover-up". She plans on stitching in various dates like when her town went into lock down, how many days have gone by, any special days during the year plus - high points and low points. Vaccines being available and when she got her shots. One square will be dedicated to Fauci. Just all kinds of pandemic related things. A history of, so to speak.

She already has many squares completed.

Add something about Fauci to your box!

Sadly I lack skills. I do have some really pretty rather useless masks though.

Takes longer but it was fun.

Got a beautiful Dutch Doll quilt now that we both worked on.

Would be two cards from my daughter, one year apart, postponing her wedding. Eventually she'll have a post pandemic anniversary celebration.

Also the card from a friend's daughter, postponing her wedding.

Three obituaries. Not all covid, but all funerals I couldn't attend.

Also a copy of my voucher for my canceled flight to the US. I haven't seen my kids in 18 months.
