In the midst of this, is a blog or Facebook page about quilting really worth anything? Is it a light in a world that is getting progressively darker, or is it inappropriate and tone deaf when others are suffering?

I’ve always loved making things with my hands. When I was a child, my babysitter taught me how to knit and how to do embroidery.
