Social Justice Sewing Academy
While I was in California, I took Sara Trail from the Social Justice Sewing Academy, some of the blocks she had sent me to hand embroider. She sent me back home with 20 more blocks. Hahaha
There was a quilt that needed the blocks hand embroidered ASAP because the exhibit where the quilt was going to hang was already in progress. I spent every day stitching on these wonderful blocks the children had put together. They are always so clever. Often they come with a note, such as this one, that helps me to know what direction the block is to go.

Once in a great while a little more needs to be added to fulfill their vision. . .

A few other blocks. I forgot to get photos of them all.

| The kids always inspire me to do my best. They asked for the rectangle to look like a land acknowledgment, and I really enjoyed making marks that looked like words. I think it's even more poignant to the idea of "empty words" since the agreement cannot be read. |
