Creativity and Community

Good Morning, Quilters and Friends!

Welcome to a new series at LKQ- Happy Hours-Creativity and Community!

Our usual content, quilting, doodling and creativity are great ways to pass many happy hours…

With our new feature, Happy Hours, we would like to add other content as well!

Join us for a joyful break every Friday as we  feature uplifting and useful podcasts, videos and articles.

A Family Affair

My five daughters and I have been collecting and sharing bright notes and hopeful stories to keep us smiling and connected.   #togetheralone.

We would love to share with YOU and hear what made YOU smile this week!

Lori’s Pick: The Science of Well-Being

I recently started Yale University’s FREE class, The Science of Well-Being by Laurie Santos and highly recommend it.

The class is the most popular class in the history of Yale.  More than 600,000 people have signed up for the free class last month!

The online course, features lectures by Santos on things people think will make them happy but don’t — and, more importantly, things that do bring lasting life satisfaction.

Read about the class HERE.

Deirdre’s Pick:  Ina Garten’s Quarantini Recipe

We all loved Ina Garten’s cosmopolitan recipe-called the “Quarantini”.

Just remember–Quarantinis and quilting DON’T MIX–but

Doodling is BETTER!

Faye Connects us with Zoom!

The best thing we did this week was a virtual get together via Zoom.  It was free and easy.

Faye went to the Zoom site to set it up the conference party and sent us an email with a link.

After clicking the link, it was easy to follow the prompts to download Zoom and join the party!

Even if you’re not tech savvy–this is an extremely easy way to get together with your family and friends!
