The world is dark but today my daughter received the 8th Grade Award for Congeniality and Positivity. I’m finding it hard to channel that right now, but she’s beautiful and creative and cool and unbelievably smart so I must fine a grain of optimism.

We’ll talk about the myth and reality of scrap quilts, the ways quiltmakers expressed their hopes and frustrations through their quilts, and the important of quilting for hire as a way to make ends meet.
Hope to see you there!

Hey social studies/history teachers: stay strong, teach what you know as good interpretation. It’s *patriotic* to tackle the hard stuff by encouraging students to analyze sources and understand the evidence.
