The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

As a pundit, I have every incentive to say that Trump is not destroying our democracy, because if indeed he doesn't destroy it, I am proved right, and if he does destroy it, then I'm less likely to be jailed.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

I’m feeling very consumed by the world rn but this space is a brief reprieve since it is just sweetly sewing people for now. A little intro: I grew up around sewists and started making my own clothes in 2011, slowly ending my shopping habit. I am a social worker, now trainer, in Baltimore.

And another version of the previous self drafted sweater - cropped, narrowed, with an invisible zip at the neck for a more narrow collar. Fabric from #bmorefabricswap #sewsky #sewing #handmadeclothing

Another recent make. This unique fabric is a remnant from Mahlia Kent in Paris, pattern self-drafted. #sewsky #sewing #handmadeclothing

I made a starter pack for other sewists migrating over from meta-based apps. Includes home sewists, independent pattern designers, and some fabric merchants. If you have adds, please share them with me so we can grow the list!
