I collect hobbies. The main ones right now are quilting, chainmaille, weaving, and embroidery.

Follow for pet pictures and to see some crafty chaos. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m starting to realize most people don’t.

Saint Paul, MN
I’m taking a 3 day class on long arm quilting this week and it’s going so well! Since it’s my first time, we’re just doing edge to edge quilting, nothing custom yet. But I think I’ll stick with this and take more classes to get into the more advanced stuff someday.

Me, watching The Gorge (a fairly forgettable but still fun romp of a sci-fi action thriller on Apple TV):
“I’m gonna have to look up the composer on this movie, sounds like a Reznor wannabe…”

I don’t know if I should be impressed with myself or ashamed for disrespecting the god of music…

Words cannot adequately express how much happiness a design wall brings me… but this picture is pretty close.

I wonder what Martha Stewart would say about all the insider trading going on at the White House.

From their website:
“The National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services have been critical to the development of the Quilt Index. On April 2, 2025 our most recent NEH grant was immeditately terminated by DOGE.”

Have reached hot-fucking-mess stage with this quilt project. Like, what-are-we-even-doing-here stage. Much like the felon’s economic policy/trade war mess, which is crashing the markets all around the globe, or soon will be. Only my project will work out in the end, I have faith. I know his won’t.

I just love to see quilters using their art to advocate for inclusion. Gives me so much joy. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
I walked the halls of @mainframearts.bsky.social this afternoon, and this gem by quilt artist, @benmillett.us, reminded me that love, creativity, courage and resiliency cannot be taken away. Hugs and love, dear ones.

Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms.

Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely.

Thank you to everyone who stood with us today.

We have yet to receive adequate information from Homeland Security about the recent news of Minnesota students being detained by ICE.

Snatching up students who come here legally to work hard and get an education does not make you tough on immigration.

We need answers.

Week 10 of Administration Therapy.

I’m calling it “Little Bandit”.

This project continues to bring me so much joy in dark times. I’m still catching up on the journaling portion because that’s quite a bit less joyful, but important.

Yay!!! The quilt is Poppy approved! I love seeing quilts I made getting used in their new homes. I hope it gives you lots of cozy joy, @chelalyn89.bsky.social and @riffraffmn.bsky.social 💗
On Sundays I post a pic of Ronan looking dazed but I actually had a fantastic day. @katdelaunay.bsky.social made us an absolute gorgeous quilt and we had a great crafting session. Truly between this and catching up with some writer friends yesterday, it’s been a really fantastic weekend.

Enjoyed a lovely craft night with friends. Poppy was a perfect little angel… just kidding, she was a little goblin. And we loves her.

I have an audience while I start the next quilt.
