We are now experiencing a pandemic called COVID-19. This thing is spreading crazy fast and cancellations are happening all over the world in a bid to slow it down. Our SAQA MoSAiQA Toronto Conference which was supposed to happen this upcoming week has been cancelled, however, the show "Colour With a U" at Homer Watson House and Gallery and "Colour With a U Too" at RiverBrink are up and running and so far the museums are still open for viewing. We have postponed the official opening of Colour With a U to April 25, 2020. SAQA is working feverishly to give us a virtual conference.
We have seen sporting events, schools, local fundraisers, March Break Programs all cancelled and several museums are closed. People are being advised to stay out of large social gatherings. We are also being advised to self-quarantine if we have traveled or come in contact with an infected person.
If you are stuck at home during this thing, here are some links to virtual art galleries and museums to help keep you positive and panic-free. We will get through this thing, but do what you can. Follow instructions about quarantines and hand washing, and maybe share your toilet paper with your neighbour. What is that toilet paper hoarding all about anyway!?
Stay safe and healthy, friends and be patient.

I have spent 8.5 hours working out my design and pattern for this latest art quilt so I am actually looking forward to having more home time to get some serious work done on this piece.
See my progress below.
