Today’s prompt is Contemplate.

In July, I made a portrait banner of Atatiana Jefferson for the @sjsa_remembranceproject
This took a lot of contemplation in deciding how to go about making it, but more importantly the huge loss and injustice surrounding Atatiana’s death. I wanted to make something to honour her life and to help people to remember her. Atatiana (Tay) was a 28 year old who was shot while playing video games with her nephew in her home. A neighbour asked the police to do a welfare check because her door wasn’t closed, and they arrived and didn’t announce themselves. She heard a noise and shot her when she looked out the window to see what it was. Her family is still trying to get Justice for her. Atatiana was a daughter, sister, aunt, pre-med student and had a full life ahead of her. Atatiana’s tragic death and so many others should make us all contemplate what is really going on and act.

What a year! It is great to look back and see what $What a year! It is great to look back and see what good things happened this year. Sewing and quilting have been a great creative outlet. In March, I decided to make @acorncornerquilts into my main job when the school I was working at closed due to Covid. Juggling this with kids doing school from home is challenging, but I am thankful for that flexibility and especially their wonderful teachers who have helped them thrive. I also joined with @amarar_creacions to make @seacornerpatternworkshop which is going well and we have high hopes for 2021. My #topnine2020 are: 1- my #miniseriessal Christmas tree, #trianglegeese pattern by @giucy_giuce and @alisonglass 2-4- #summersampler2020 blocks ( #glimpseblock by @freshlemonsquilts and #directionblock by @aquiltinglife ), and the finished quilt (house photo), patterns by @lee.a.heinrich @swimbikequilt and @freshlemonsquilts and many others. 5- Sam wrapped in my #frameworkquilt pattern by @bloomingpoppies 6- #fractured block for the @nationalquiltmuseum BOM. @quiltsfromtheattic is the inspiration artist. 7- #flyingmywayquilt designed by @amarar_creacions #- #summersampleralumniquilt organised with @mringer58 soon to be auctioned for @sjsacademy made by 20 different quilters from #summersampler blocks. 9- #pencilpower Erase injustice block designed by @quirkygranolagirl for @sjsacademy and was the block of the month for the @nationalquiltmuseum in January. This block is my top pick for 2020 and means more than I can express. I made it twice, and it was the start of asking questions about art and social justice. It was also the start of the #sjsabom which has been a wonderful journey of learning , exploration, and action. * * * #top9of2020 #modernquilting #modernquilters #artivist #artivism #quiltersofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #quiltsagram #quiltlove #makersgonnamake #quiltingismytherapy #sewing #quilting #smallbusinessowner #quilts #socialjusticesewing$
