I tried to learn how to knit, but although the women in my family are super craft capable as a whole, I am NOT. So despite my keen interest in the project and the warm invitation, support and encouragement I have had along the way (THANK YOU to you, you know who you are) I am feeling thoroughly intimidated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have made and shared some drawings of early ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Working on ideas for my square for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/femedtechquilt?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#femedtechquilt<\/a>&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/femedtech?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#femedtech<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OER20?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OER20<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jAIjR8qVnX\">pic.twitter.com\/jAIjR8qVnX<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Dr Maren Deepwell (@MarenDeepwell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarenDeepwell\/status\/1214952051651874816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now I am thinking about how I can actually make something. Something that would capture how much I care about the cause that this project is all about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quilts are very special. I don&#8217;t know much about the history, but I am lucky enough to own some. And they are very precious to me. They make my daily life a warmer, safer, more caring place. And that I value very much. For naps, for early mornings, for sleeping in winter, for bad days, for dark days. The quilts I own have been in my family for nearly forty years and recently one of them had to have emergency repairs. I brought it to my mother and hoped that she could help. It was late autumn and felt reminiscent of taking teddy bears that had lost eyes or ears or even a leg to be cared for and put back together&#8230; only to magically reappear under the Christmas tree &#8211; whole again. It always disturbed me that in Star Trek even Captain Picard never had a proper duvet or quilt for sleeping under. Only strangely metallic fabric blankets that seemed at least to me never really comforting. A proper quilt is a source of great strength and comfort and not something I&#8217;d like to be without in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And a future without care would be very bleak indeed, and not just in Open Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can&#8217;t wait to see this quilt come into being come April. And carry all of our hopes for change and resistance with it from OER20. I am deeply grateful to all those who make it happen and most of all thanks to Frances Bell. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am working on ideas in order to make, and that&#8217;s the key word here, a contribution (7 x 7 inches) to The Femedtech Quilt of Care and Justice in Open Education.
