As these strange and worrisome times evolve around us, much of it beyond our control, it’s sometimes helpful to concentrate on small things that are within our control or at least our influence.

A hobby, a pastime, a diversion, an art is something that can help keep us sane as we practice “social distancing.” If fabric collage is your go-to diversion, this week’s Throwback Thursday shows you a simple and easy way to get started on a new project: my fabric collage patterns. The TBT below provides a whole post full of fabric collages based on my patterns for your inspiration.

If you are a beginner to fabric collage or simply want to further refine your technique, this Saturday, March 21, I launch my Susan Carlson Fabric Collage: Sea Turtle eWorkshop.

In this eWorkshop, I take you step-by-step through the mind-occupying and low-stress process of creating a sea turtle quilt—based of course on my sea turtle pattern (included with purchase of eWorkshop), see photo above. With over four and a half hours of video, no detail is overlooked, from choosing fabric to finishing and hanging.

Also on Saturday, I’ll fill you in on my latest endeavor, something we’ve been thinking about for a while, but now have received the push (and, frankly, the time) to do: webinars. This would be some version of a live lecture or classroom via streaming video and audio.

Here’s hoping that we remember this time not for terms like “sheltering in place” and “social distancing,” but for the opportunity we had to try something new, refine an existing skill, or accomplish whatever we find rewarding.
