I make quilts, read books, garden, drink coffee, watch birds, snuggle my cats, and bake/eat cake. I do my best to be kind. I don't put up with people who are awful. I drive a Lizardmobile. IRL I am Amy Wilson. Hoping my FB friends find me here.

A little bit about me: white, female, GenX, cis/het, married, with two adult sons (one cis, one trans, both adored) and one (nonbinary) kiddo-in-law. 4 cats and 1 gecko. Amateur naturalist, quilter, reader, native plant gardener, atheist, long-ago homebirther, homeschooler. Just a bit weird.
Eddie cat decided to help me with my quilt sandwich-making. I put out the backing and batting and he insinuated himself before I got the quilt top spread.

I finished my wall quilt! I'm calling it "Ravens Treasure " I decided to go with the black binding, and I made hanging tabs out of scraps from the pieced ball of yarn. I think I'll use this cedar branch to hang it. I have to find the right wall, but it does look nice outdoors.

I've got Aesop's fables in my backyard this morning! I heard the crows cawing for their peanuts, and when I looked out the window, I also saw a deer. Then a red fox came trotting across the bridge over the creek. The fox and deer regarded each other and then continued on. I took out the peanuts.

Look what I found by the road up the street from me on my walk today! It's a bald-faced hornet nest! They're dead inside, like many of us are feeling these days. #nature

Raven wall quilt binding auditions: black or scrappy?
I finished assembling my raven paper piecing wall quilt. I plan to put a border on it before doing the quilting. I might make some tabs so I can display it hanging from a branch on the wall. We'll see...

Continuing my adventures in crow-related literature, this is the best book I have ever read! It's delightfully creative, tickelingly hilarious, and overflowing with love and delight in the natural world. I haven't yet read Hollow Kingdom, but will asap. Kira Jane Buxton, I love your mind! #booksky

My son and I visited Goose Creek Bridge in Upperville, VA. today. This 200+ year-old bridge was the site of a Civil War battle. Today, it is a peaceful place to take photos and enjoy birds. We saw and/or heard a great blue heron, a bald eagle, turkeys, ravens, a red-headed woodpecker, and vultures.

I borrowed this book, "How to Know a Crow," by Candace Savage (illustrations by Rachel Hudson) from the library yesterday and it's really wonderful! It's for kids, but suitable for interested adults too. It's packed full of information and beautiful illustrations. I loved it!

A Lord of the Rings cover band called "More Doors"? I'm picturing Gollum singing "Hello, I Love You" to the One Ring. Sauron looking out over Mordor singing "Light My Fire." Samwise Gamgee will sing "Orcs Are Strange."
A Lord of the Rings cover band that only plays Beatles songs, but ONLY the ones Ringo sang, and yeah that’s right, I’m gonna say ‘Lord of the Ringos’, I was unprepared you guys and this the best I can do on such short notice 🥲

This is how Dilly #cat likes to nap after breakfast. On my desk, between me and my keyboard and monitor. We call this "grandpa sleeping." To do my crossword I have to put one arm under her and one arm over her and crane my neck to see. And I have to give her kisses, of course.

I got to go on a walk at a beautiful piece of land this evening looking for Short-Eared Owls! I was with a group from the Virginia Working Landscapes project, part of the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia. And we saw two owls!

Trying my hand at freezer paper piecing this raven pattern from Saginaw St Quilts. I've never done this before! My brain has a hard time with the whole upside-down and backwards aspect of the process. So far ..
