Too much going on yesterday to post, but my kid made a sign for the protest we went to! The grown ups made signs too, but they weren’t as interesting. 😂
A sign that reads “Ban Trump from the server #congress”, and shows a Minecraft creeper character dressed as Donald Trump.

Spent a few hours ignoring the world and sewing myself a new shirt. Feeling happier. Now back to fighting the good fight.
A blue sweatshirt with a dark grey kangaroo pocket and dark grey turtleneck. The decal on the shirt has a cat with a sewing machine and other sewing supplies and reads “happiness is ignoring the world because you’re sewing”.

I need more eyes. I have some hot air balloon blocks that I’ve had forever, and I really want to finish the quilt. But I can’t decide what to use for sashing. I have two options right now, which one do you like better? Or should I keep looking? Blocks most likely to blend are with each option.

The basket is brown with a beige accent and the hot air balloon has yellow, brown, red and purple. #quiltsky A quilt block laid on fabric. The fabric is clouds with blue, purple and white.

News is terrible, as always these days, so I spent some time sewing my rainbow jacket! A little beacon of sparkly happiness for today.
A hooded jacket on a brown couch against a white wall. The jacket is rainbow colored, with swirls of sparkly gold throughout. The bottom and sleeve cuffs are mint green. The zipper is white, as is the hood cord.

America has frozen military aid to Ukraine and we are in a trade war with Canada, of all places. How have we come to this?

Anyway. Here’s some quilted bunny coasters I created. Remember to defend democracy, not dictators.

Two small quilt blocks with bunny heads, quilted and bound. Both blocks have green backgrounds. Both bunny heads have black eyes. The top block is a brown bunny head, and the bottoms block is a white bunny head.

In addition to sewing Ukraine support hearts, I also did some work on my sparkly rainbow jacket. Got the zipper in! Now I just need to finish the hood and topstitch everything down.
The front of a rainbow colored jacket with gold sparkly lines swirled among the colors. There is a white zipper with silver sparkly zipper teeth and a triangular shaped zipper pull with the same silver sparkles. The bottom cuff is a mint green.

Turned those fabric pieces into hearts. Trying to decide where to go next with it.

Four fabric hearts stacked in a spread out pile. The top two hearts are yellow with a blue background. The bottom two hearts are blue with a yellow background.

I’m still thinking about what happened in the Oval Office yesterday. I am so heartsick and upset about it. I went up to my sewing room today to sew some of my emotions. Not sure where it’s going yet, but I still stand with Ukraine.
Yellow and blue fabric, some sewn into half square triangles. These are the same colors as the Ukraine flag, a country which has been bravely fighting to hold the line for democracy and whose president deserves the upmost respect and not to be treated like the way the American president and vice president treated him on Friday, 2/28/2025.

I don’t have sewing pictures to share today, but just wanted to say that I’m an American that still stands with Ukraine.

The news has been feeling a little heavy lately, so I got up to my sewing room to work on some personal sewing. My sparkly rainbow hoodies has sleeves! And a hood! Next up, adding the zipper…

One of my favorite quilts. Red and white and cat all over.
A red, white and black quilt, with different sized squares and a few panels with a black fluffy cat. The white border also has this black fluffy cat.
