Just a middle aged Canadian mom constantly learning, doing my best, and asking WTF??
Canada quilt in progress, wonder if I'll manage to get it done before Canada Day? #canadianthings #ohcanada #mapleleaf #quiltsky

Pride Quilt Top 2025 is done! I wasn't sure I was happy with how the orange parts blended with the yellow, but I've decided to leave it as is. Now to decide on a backing and quilt it. #quiltsky

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.

This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Almost finished piecing my Pride quilt, need to add a black top and bottom border and then I can quilt it. This one will be donated to a local Pride organization.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Chaos Block Quilt assembled, I may or may not add an outer border, haven't decided yet. I think I might practice free motion quilting with this. #quiltsky

Quilters of bluesky - I recently got a new iPad, my old one was 9 years old and was basically only good for watching videos, so I'm not up to date in my Apple app knowledge (I have a Samsung phone). I usually draw out designs I want to quilt on graph paper and colour them in, but I'd like to (1)

My little quilted table topper is done! It ended up a little bit bigger than I anticipated but that's fine, I'm happy with it. Now to figure out what else I can put something quilted on, maybe the piano? 🤔 #quiltsky

Placemats! Man, I love the instant gratification that comes with a small project. Just deciding if I want to add a border or not. #quiltsky

I decided to go with the yellow stripe for the binding, and I like it! It feels fresh and doesn't detract from the actual topper. Now, to hand stitch the binding on. #quiltsky

I'm making a topper for this little table, and I just need to select a binding fabric. I'm trying to use up all my striped fabrics for bindings (I was gifted a lot of stripes) rather than buy something. I've narrowed it down to these two - does one look better than the other? #quiltsky

As a cis woman, I am way more afraid of the men busting into women's bathrooms and assaulting women that don't conform to the way they think a woman should look and act than I will ever be of the transgender people they claim to be protecting me from.

Quilted table runner is done and I love how it looks! Is like to make something coordinating to replace the quilts on my couch now but maybe in low volume neutral tones and not exactly the same pattern but using HSTs. The flowers were my mothers Day gift from kid 2. #quiltsky

All quilted, and the binding half stitched on, ready for finishing. I tried a striped binding for the first time, I think I like it. I'll hand stitch the binding to the back tonight. #quiltsky

Table runner almost done for the coffee table, just need to quilt it now and bind it. That'll be a project for tomorrow because my neck is really sore now. #quiltsky

Did anyone else suddenly get a few hundred new followers in the last couple of days? I'm totally confused because I'm really not that interesting, and I have no idea where all these people came from. 😂

Narrow sashing or wide sashing? I'm not sure which I prefer. #quiltsky

We had a visitor in the front yard this morning. I didn't mind him snacking on the crabapple tree but I wasn't impressed when he went for the mayday. The dogs weren't fans of our guest at all, especially when he walked up to the window. #canadianthings #mooseontheloose

It's ridiculous how much I love making these freeform scrap blocks - no pattern, no plan, just bits of this and leftover pieces of that. It's like a puzzle. I think I finally have enough blocks to put them together. #quiltsky

I was yelling at my laundry today listening to her announcement. She sure as hell doesn't speak for me.
Danielle Smith does NOT speak for Alberta.

#quiltsky - I want to make a duvet cover for my bedroom and I need to get brown, beige, and grey to play nicely together. This is as far as I've gotten but it's not right yet - what does it need? A more mid tone grey? More white or cream? I'm trying to keep my whites to a minimum because dogs.

That time I stepped on a wasp (or maybe a bee? I'm not sure) inside the house but didn't realize that's what it was until the next afternoon. 😬 It got me on the underside of my middle toe, in the crease, it's been more than 24 hours and it's so freaking red and itchy a d sore still!
May 2, 2025 at 4:08 AM
Done! I think I'm not going to add a border, I'm going to do a bright colourful striped binding instead. #quiltsky

please stop sharing this. it is completely misinformation. it is putting vulnerable people at risk.

1. the number given is for the Canadian Trans Lifeline, not suicide hotline.

2. the US Trans Lifeline, 877-565-8860, is still operational

3. Trans Lifeline is not part of the US 988 network
