Also, check out what Mother Jones is up to!
Special Feature in Their Latest Issue: Make Your Own Climate Cover!
“For the upcoming issue of Mother Jones, we printed four different covers, featuring four different kids, to dramatize the point that if we don’t deal with the climate crisis now, our children will be the ones to pay the price.
Now it’s your turn. Next week, on the eve of International Climate Action Day, we’ll launch an app that lets you put your kid (or your pet, or yourself!) on a MoJo cover with a customized message, and send the image to your friends, your members of Congress, your president. ”
Lastly, I include a few shots of
two of my Global Warming quilts in progress.
The top layout morphed into something much bigger and more complicated and is on my floor being pieced right now. The tabletop quilt has been pieced, but the issue of how to render the polar bears unresolved. I actually can’t find the quilt top right now, which says a lot about the state of my studio and my mind, but that’s another post altogether!
