OFMD, quilting, photography, cat, etc. OOPS. I can't believe I forgot to shout out my family. They're such great people.
Help! Can anybody give me some quick advice? I'm having the vapors about sizing this runner. I thought I wanted the panels all at 6" but now I'm thinking the sides should be about 3.5 (Golden Ratio). I pondered too long and now I'm in decision paralysis. Thoughts?

Great sunset this evening. Oranges, looking West. Pinks, looking East.

2 recent sunsets from about the same spot. I love that stand of trees.

I seem to have been trolled. My apologies, Listifications.

@listifications.app I did not ask to be on this list. I did not consent to AI training. Please remove me from your list.

TIL from Reddit that I am clearly AI. I sometimes quote people in recalling a conversation. I also tend to rock proper (traditional) grammar & punctuation.

I proffer my apologies for misleading you all. I can't promise that I will do better in the future.

Strong Songs is now an internationally award-winning podcast!

A jury at the Reeperbahn Music festival in Hamburg, Germany awarded Strong Songs the 2025 International Music Journalism Award in the audio category. I'm super proud and wish I could've flown out to accept in person. Thank u Germany <3

Well. I'm having a second pot of coffee this morning. No particular reason: I just feel like it.

Help! I forgot to tag a post & now I can't remember where I saw it.

It's a single, multicolored pieced butterfly, maybe a wall hanging? maybe 24" x 32-ish"?

I'd really like to find the pattern. It's perfect for a friend.

In absentmindedness, thanks for looking. #craftiverse #handmade #quiltsky

In case you were wondering what qualifies as gorgeous in the quilting world: exhibit A. Just lovely in all the ways.

Happy birthday @david-jenkins.bsky.social, I know you agree cats should be given weapons 🥰💖
Gentlepurred? Co-catpains? Someone suggest something better before one of them sticks 😅 🪡🧵 #OFMD #OFMDArt

My high school yearbook picture. Yes, I was deeply into Romanticism at that point. No makeup, per usual. I look so much like my great-grandmother that it's kind of weird.

For reasons, I declare that the Song of the Day is Trains & Boats & Planes by the Box Tops. Not for nothing, this song could be the relationship leitmotiv of a modern OFMD AU.
