I quilt & design quilt patterns. Chocolate, cooking, traveling are also squeezed in around the edges. And I'm on edge a lot these days.

Block Five of Nine.
I love that solo red poppy. AMH fabric—somehow my stash of this seems to have grown in the night. 😳

Three of nine blocks. Remaking a quilt I gave away—do you miss favorites that live somewhere else? It’s from my Blossom pattern. Deets in ALT.

Just finished Round 3 of the SAHRR: Stay at Home Round Robin. I doubled up on this border, for that was the theme. #SAHRR2026

I saw this and thought: why not make this a free pattern for my readers? And so it is. Visit the blog to download it: opquilt.com/2026/01/18/o... #quiltsky #freequiltpattern

I had fun compiling a collage of major finishes for 2025, and then put up a blog post on OPQuilt.com if you are interested. I’ve not even made my 2026 list yet, but there are already some contenders. #quiltsky

Monday! And hopefully I’ll finish up the quilting on this Utopia quilt, or as I call it, The Flower Garden quilt. #quiltsky. I alway have high hopes for the week on Mondays. #monday. More details in ALT.

I remember it vividly. Horrific.
Five years ago.

Glad I got my walking done this morning, before a) I read the news, and b) the rain started up again. #walksky #naturesky

Waking up to news of the Venezuela mess 🤪…and just when I was happily coasting on the Mamdani mayorship. 🤩
You know what? This year has actually gotten off to a pretty low-key, no breaking news, stress-free start wait nevermind

Loved this piece by Heather Cox Richardson as my great-grandparents were some who came in these waves of immigration.

Local shopping center Christmas tree. Everyone is relieved that Christmas is over, but sad to see it go. #christmastree

Making progress with my eight million small drunkard’s path blocks in this #utopiaquiltkit. Kidding. Not 8 million but it feels about like that. #quiltsky

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.

These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.

They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".
Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol.

Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?
