“Make Do and Mend.” Eighteen years ago I moved to Australia, and since I couldn’t yet get a job, I hand sewed a quilt. It was made from old shirts and bedsheets, and I was really proud. Over time some of the fabric started to wear through, so tonight I added the first patches. And why not make it visible? So there are now three red squares, and I’m sure there’ll be more in the future. There’s another one moved from the mending pile…
