Covid19: Wash Your Hands

One could say I have been very productive during this unusual summer.Being an introvert, it has not been a real inconvenience to stay close to home and we are fortunate to live in a rural setting so I have had lots of inspiration to parlay into quilted projects.  My latest one is titled “Covid 19: Wash Your Hands”.  It was made from an old tablecloth which I painted, stamped, appliqued, cut apart and sewed back together with no real idea of what the end would be.  My first thought was “laundry day blues” but that just wasn’t to be.  As the quarantine recommendations continued to be in effect, “Wash Your Hands” emerged as the topic to pursue.  I had some fabric that I had marbled several years ago and cut in circles for some reason unbeknownst to me now but they made good germs.  And then there are the iridescent organza bubbles appliqued as we have to have a foamy lather to wash away the contamination.  Tulle bunched up with slubby yarn and attached with beads completed the bottom edge.  It was a fun, creative activity to commemorate one aspect of an unusual year.
