I acquired this sad, shrunken, wadded up quilt, I *think* at buck-a-pound, but maybe just from a thrift store -- I don't really remember when, but it has lingered in the back of my closet for some time. I pulled it out during my recent Marie Kondo episode (much more to come on that), and while it did not spark joy as it was, I could tell there was some trapped joy in there.

.I'm currently home on a quarantine, because at least 6 people from my school have the flu, plus a bunch of other seasonal sickness. Also I'm having (sometimes excruciating) joint pain that is probably associated with chemo. I'm trying to use these extra days off productively and so I spent several hours yesterday extracting the joy out of this old quilt.

.Once I picked the tack knots out, a beautiful quilt top was revealed. It's definitely an old top but the integrity of the fabric is surprisingly good. I'm so glad I had the time, and that I took the time, to let the joy immerge.
