I recently completed the 12th design in my Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage hand embroidery series. After stumbling across old patterns from the 1930's, I was inspired to rework the designs to reflect how many of us are feeling right now. 💙 #embroidery #fiberarts #craftivism #artivism #Resist #art

Bernie Sanders is a national treasure. In 2016, I raised money for his campaign by creating these Bernie tie dye shirts - they were so hard to do! I 💙 this image of them on my clothesline. I dream of how different our country would be today if Bernie had won in 2016.

Mini piece I made and sold to fundraise for #ukraine. Hand embroidery on upcycled tie dye fabric scraps - hundreds of French knots in that little 3-inch hoop.

Just finished up the latest piece in my Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage embroidery series. I got so mad after seeing that post from the White House that I had to stab some fabric 1,000+ times. Hand stitching helps me work through my big feelings in a healthy way. 💙 #embroidery #fiberarts #textilearts

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.
