Breathing mindful breaths eased my anxiety as the COVID-19 pandemic became reality. Stories of patients on respirators battling to inhale and exhale lead me to visualise lungs. The healthy lung birthed flowers blooming despite the pandemic. The ailing lung was permeated with the virus. 

Embroidering these lungs and expressing my visualisation onto cotton fabric soothed my fear. I was calmed through the process of slow stitching. My embroidery joined craftivists globally in creating the Covid-19 digital quilt. The quilt conveys that many handcrafters believe in the capacity of yarn to stitch us through difficult times.
