2A: SUMMARY

My theme this was was the love language of gift giving. My sister came to visit me from Bellingham and my life was filled with love for the first time in months. She gifted me a book on yoga, and I gifted her a tea set and some nice chocolate bars. Our mother’s main love language is gift giving, and she gave me a sewing machine last month.

most of what I did this week was hang out with my sister, work on fwjd, and die from the covid vaccine, and come to terms with the fact that i dont want to sell my quilts and that my time doesnt always have to have money attached to it.

Philomena:

“lover of fruit, lover of apples, lover of sheep”

2C: HOME

“Making a quilt takes months of work. Years if you include finding garments and reclaiming them for fabric (which is largely how I source the fabric for my quilts). It is close, intimate, big, fussy, skilled work. The finished piece always contains a bit of me, my brain, my heart, a few chapters of my life. It is gutting to share that with the world and have folks make offhand remarks about it being too expensive. Rather than build up a thick calloused skin about my work, I’ve decided to set a boundary to protect my tenderness about it, because I want to be able to stay tender towards it” Grace Rother 

lets talk alternative economic models!

History of home, also an exploration into economics, the commons, land, ownership, etc.
