When your granddaughter asks you for a climbing wall for her doll (making harness, etc. next), you make it happen

Unexpected pleasure: I knew I'd love this art gallery opening in Torrance (friend's place, homage to local surf/skate culture), but didn't expect the music.
This band found each other bc they were working on a remodel together & started playing a little during breaks. Holy @# & shades of Nina Simone

4/ Crossword inspired quilt for a crossword lover, map quilt (front & back) for a grandchild who loves to pour over maps - I usually shy away from panels, but this national park one was too perfect to pass up.

3/ Twin size, freeform quilting (was actually fun to do). Each quilt block has a little animal in the center of it. Extra blocks were turned into pillows for gifts.

2/ I completed 6 birthday quilts, trying to match fabric/pattern to recipient. Pretty much nailed it all. :)

All pieced & quilted using a Bernina 770QE.

Quilting pattern on this green one is prob my favorite, though omg, the amount of ink (washable, of course) that covered this quilt was insane.

I'm not planning on making cross-posting a habit, but want to thank bluesky & followers for an obvious change in engagement 💙.
I don't feel silenced anymore

"You Will Lose Everything" (Jeff Foster) has held me thru more than one tough time.

When one of my pups was slowly dying (I knew, he thought things were just fine) & my heart was breaking as we walked one of our last walks together, I'd repeat 'For that which will be lost has not yet been lost...".

One feather is gone with a grandkid already, but I still have the other :). These are the crows who like to come visit.

69. A very good age. :)

Rye bread, avocado, bacon, shoyu eggs, yuzu furikake, & honey balsalmic.
And the local crows just left me two feathers on the front step. Life is good.

Can't wait til the labeling system is in place @support.bsky.team - a bunch of adoptee refugees from the bird site are regrowing our community here, one invite by one invite.
Any idea on when this will be released?
