This tiny quilt (32” x 48”) is officially my favorite thing I ever made 😊 It incorporates my love of scraps & color theory in a way that feels very ME. It was a very challenging puzzle I enjoyed. I will pursue this technique further! #QuiltSky

Seed company: “Buy loads of our wildflower seeds and toss them in the snow for beautiful spring blooms later!”
I’m sorry, is this a tie-in you’re running with squirrels??

There's a super-viral post going around on here with replies and quotes disabled that is just a rip-off of someone else's image from more than a decade ago. See old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinte... for what *might* be the original source but it's hard to say.

I went to Etsy, where I also sell, to support small fabric shops, but have yet to find the products I used to find so easily at JoAnn’s.
As an independent artisan who supports local like it’s a religion, I admit I’m very much missing JoAnn’s right now. I mostly bought unbleached muslin there, for curtains, for quilt backing, in many widths. Now trying to buy muslin with a finished selvedge, online, is proving incredibly frustrating.

Going to keep hammering that morale is a thing, and it’s important to every resistance movement from the beginning of time.
Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good
