I want to give this a try. Hopefully we can create the same kind of supportive & inspiring community that we have on IG but without supporting spineless billionaires. Here's a collection of my work to kick things off!

First, my most recent quilt finish: "The space between us"
For context: The National Science Foundation founds a lot of basic research in the US. This new policy asking program officers to "review" grants based on a list of keywords containing words lie "biased" or "female" does not "just" attack DEI but all serious science. In the end it hurts everyone.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Today I was reminded of this quilt I made a while ago for an exhibition of our guild #dcmqg about "patriotism". It reads "Ich bin froh, nicht stolz, Deutsche zu sein" (I am glad, not proud, to be German). Things I didn't do anything for but that benefit me are a privilege not a source of pride.

I love the texture of these #placemats when they get hit by the low winter sun!

This project started in a "scrap play" workshop with Sherri Lynn Wood last January. We sewed "scrap jelly rolls", which I then sandwiched between larger, sandy-colored scraps to let the colors pop.
