I’m pouring all this political stress and drama into increased quilting creativity and production. I will not let them steal my joy.

Attention white women who thought, "they won't do anything to me." Christian nationalists want you married, barefoot, and pregnant. You are subservient to your white husband. To have any goals outside caring for your husband and children is to go against God.
Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Trying to piece away the stress and worry… Progress on this ad lib indigo stars project. I think I’ll need to sew a couple more large white star blocks for balance, then on to the indigo sashing and layout decisions. Thank you for following along with me and this project! #quiltsky #quilting

Still adding new blocks to this indigo star study. Currently 4 different star blocks ranging from 4” to 16” and countless fabrics. I’m including some blue teal to brighten the mood. Not sure of the final layout but this keeps me from dwelling on the dRump regime cruel antics.

Border focus on two I-Spy baby quilts I made with animal fussy cuts as Sawtooth Star centers and themed piano key borders. Wild animals border is leopard, zebra, and giraffe prints. Farm animals border is eggs, chicken wire, honeycomb, and gingham prints. 2019 and 2022 #quiltsky #quilting

Final finish for 2024, using a gifted charm set of 5” squares, (Moda) and some yardage. 54”x64” free-hand free motion quilted, Pfaff powerquilter 16.0 sit-down long arm. The selvage reads: “Life is better on the bay.” I call it “Serenity Now.” Bonus points if you know the reference. #bluesky #quilts

Three more “The Secret Life of Squirrels” blocks done, and I’m having fun using random leftover scraps for the stars. My fave so far is the lower right — squirrels roasting marshmallows! (Happy to see I’ll keep my points.)

On a whim, I bought this silly Clothworks “Secret Life of Squirrels” fabric last year. My sister-in-law’s mother loved it, so I’m doing a quickie throw quilt for her. Each center will be a different scene of squirrels camping and the stars will be bright colors from my scraps. #quiltsky #quilting

No matter how anyone tries to whitewash what we saw in real time with our own eyes on January 6, 2021, I’ll never forget the awful day trump and his allies plotted, conspired, lied, inspired, instigated… and ultimately failed at its violent insurrection attempt to overthrow our free & fair election.

A modern quilt for my daughter. Sunset Hike pattern by Alison Hamby, In the Light Quilts, with my modifications to make it king sized. Center squares are My Hero Wears Cowboy Boots by Blank Quilting. Perfect for a Colorado mountain home at 9000 feet. #quiltsky

Bison live in a matriarchal society. Grandmother leads the herd with the dominant bull tagging along, and generations follow. In this case she's leading her flock up through Lamar Canyon, by far the easiest route is the road so, traffic will just have to wait.
