Edith Edmunds, who is 99 years old, the art of quilt making is inextricably linked to the Black struggle for freedom. That's why she plans to be sewing Thursday on Juneteenth.
On Juneteenth, she celebrates the role quilts may have played in Underground Railroad

I’m having a bad pain week, but a good quilting week. I’ve got one of my favorite makes ever under my machine almost ready to be sent off as a special gift and I’m cutting into new fabric to make myself the pink Halloween quilt of my dreams! #quiltsky

Just kidding, don't read this. Just a few chapters in there is a shitty diabetes joke. I'm so sick of people making abelist, awful jokes at our expense.
If I have to spend a beautiful, sunny Friday afternoon doing annoying and high-stakes medical tests, I'm definitely starting a new thriller while I wait #booksky #disability

If you can't handle me at my buying books because I'm having a bad day, you don't deserve me at my buying books because I'm having a great day

Did I abandon my seasonally appropriate summer 70s quilt, made with a beautifully well written pattern in order to make a wonky improv quilt with my Halloween scraps? Absolutely lol #quiltsky

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Tonight there was still a sliver of light when I finished teaching my evening yoga class, which to me means it’s Spring and time to re-read my favorite book. Hurston has the best description of Spring in the Western canon and should be read accordingly #booksky

I did all the things I had to do as a disabled person trying to resist and survive The Horrors and now I’m going to work on a baby quilt for a friend to remind me who we’re fighting for ✨❤️ #quiltsky

Now that I have my Juki I’m ready to finish some projects that were too big to quilt on my old machine. This is also my first time trying table basting, I hope I like the final product because this is so much easier than doing it on the floor!

After years of thinking and planing I finally ordered myself a really nice new sewing machine! Let’s hope it doesn’t get too delayed in this snowstorm #quiltsky
