A Bedrock of Calm

Hand appliquéing one curve each day during sixty days of our COVID-19 lockdown was my Bedrock of Calm during this unprecedented time.  While the world was turning upside down, spending an hour a day away from the alarming news helped me cope with the changes and challenges of our new world.

This work is part of my Grifology series about symbols, making marks and a daily practice.

As I completed each day’s curve, I added it to the growing pile and did not look at it again.  At the end of the sixty days, it was exciting to take them out and see how similar and different they are.  The blocks are sewn in chronological order.
