Quilt Block Mania May 2024- Prickly Pear in the Garden

Hello again my Quilty Friends!

This months Quilt Block Mania theme is Desert. I was so jazzed when I heard what this months theme was. Being born and raised in Southern California, this reminded me a lot of my childhood. We had many cacti and succulents in our gardens. They're low maintenance and great for Xeriscaping.

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people-to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems.

This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you might…

Detailed and practical, this guide explains concrete rebar in a way that feels approachable without oversimplifying. The step by step clarity is especially useful for readers new to the subject.
