I find joy in my little human’s laughs, hugs from my spouse, kitty snuggles, good books, long baths, and cutting fabric and sewing it back together (quilting). 🏳️⚧️🌈📕🪡🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛🐕
Here is another amazing protest - by the US Army Choir. I hope it is shared far and wide. I’ll bet many of the people applauding are clueless about the meaning behind this song, aka the French Revolution. youtu.be/pIQh_5dZUwI?...

Welcome to class. What a privilege to be your teacher today. I know we bring diverse work experience — some of us are quilters, others studied ready-to-wear, but today we are all going to learn to make bias tape.

I’m participating in @toadandsew.bsky.social’s mystery quilt along. I have my fabric selected and all cut up. I have no idea what the pattern will be, but I’m excited!

Affordable child care is essential for a thriving economy – it removes barriers for parents entering the workforce and makes life easier for families.
I just announced new grants that will create 1,400 new child care slots across the state.

Years ago, ACT UP protested at hospitals cutting off LGBTQ+ people from their care.
They didn't stand for it.

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs.
They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.

I work in the grants world for my job. This isn’t just impacting higher ed. This is impacting every single community in our state.
On a happier note, I’m excited to pick out fabrics for the mystery quilt sew along by @toadandsew.bsky.social ! #mqsal #quiltsky

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.
Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

Throw back to my 1st quilt in 2019, when my spouse and I decided to journey down the path to parenthood. This quilt was made for baby Rowan, who was stillborn on May 4, 2020 at 18.5 weeks gestation.
Quilting became my way to process grief, from the loss of Rowan and two more miscarriages.

I am now at that stage in my life where finding a “Jenny Missouri Star Quilt Company” branded Oliso iron at a thrift store for $9.49 is the most exciting thing. Because, it *WAS SUCH A GOOD DEAL!* This iron is like $199 new!
