“Hi Eliot!

I hope this block has managed to make its way to you safely from rainy Glasgow!

I made this block from scraps that were left over from garment sewing. I started sewing because finding clothes to fit— and celebrated — my non binary body was impossible. There’s no Wild Fang in Scotland! The best way that I could think of to express the joy of my gender was to create something from the clothes that made me feel exactly like myself; that makes me feel comfortable and loved and celebrated for who I am. The thought of all of these quilt blocks coming to you to literally wrap people in community love makes me feel so emotional— thank you for doing what you’re doing

with love -
