Karen, wow. I'm crying. My vaccine injured mom is an award winning quilter. She and I went to Sisters Oregon to the International Quilt Show before Covid. Within days of her shot, my mom developed an autoimmune disorder that threatens to limit the use of her hands and potentially feet. Thus far, she has been able to fight this off, but one never knows with this novel technology, how quickly that will change.
I've learned from my mom that quilts are stories. They've been used as such in times of trauma, such as the Civil War and recently in the AIDS crisis and today with vaccine injury healing. I am so thankful you've been able to use quilting to heal your body, soul and mind. It is beautiful! Award winning in my book!

Both great stories of using quilting to heal. Sorry for the injuries. Thanks for sharing.
