A Placeholder for Hands2Help 2022....

 ....being a way to share what I have sent out this year at a moment when I don't have time to write a whole screed about how they happened, and Instagram is kicking me off for not giving them a copy of an ID card proving I'm over 14, to which I say to them: fuck right off.

Not so much to share this time - hoping to join the linkyparty for the annual Hands2Help event, sending quilts all over the country/globe for charitable causes. This plus quilt went to Mercyful quilts:

The flimsy on my design wall....

The front after quilting...

...and the back.

And this low-volume strip-pieced diamonds top went to Victoria's Quilts:

Harder to see, but at least sewn together here...

A little easier to see but in pieces (strip pieced on a small phonebook-sized page) on the pleasantly cold concrete floor of my brother's basement, my temporary sewing quarters when COVID broke out.

And I wish it had been many more, but if wishes were horses, that would be really weird, as the old saying goes. 


Besos!
Astrid.
