My interpretation of the "Alaska" quilt pattern by "Laundry Basket Quilts". All fabrics from my stash. I've had the pattern for several years now so I'm pretty stoked that I finally put it together 😁
Alt text written by A.I. A handmade quilt top called Alaska designed by Laundry Basket Quilts, pieced by DeeDee Maker. The quilt features intricate eight-pointed star and diamond patterns in rich shades of gold, brown, and cream, arranged in a symmetrical layout. A narrow dark inner border and a mottled golden outer border frame the luminous design, giving it a warm, autumnal glow.

Especially when we have a government more into the money than the people...
A yellow-orange infographic with a black-bordered two-column table titled “ACTION” and “WHAT IT DID.” The table lists four rows: 1. One Big Beautiful Bill Act — Initially attempted to ban state AI regulation for 10 years, but that provision was removed before final passage. 2. EO 14179 (Jan 2025) — Revoked prior AI oversight rules to clear the way for aggressive AI innovation. 3. ‘Preventing Woke AI’ EO (July 2025) — Imposed ideological neutrality mandates for AI systems used by the federal government. 4. TAKE IT DOWN Act — Enacted federal law against non-consensual intimate AI-generated images.

Found a surprise art show at the fishing hole this morning 🎣✨ Hearts, stars, and smiles carved right into the earth. Nature’s canvas, human touch. #FoundArt #StreetArt #ArtEverywhere #SimpleJoys #ArtSky
Drawings traced into sandy ground: a smiling face with rays like a sun, a heart, a five-point star, a house with windows and a door, a mushroom-shaped figure, and what looks like a birthday cake with candles. The sketches are childlike and scattered across the dirt, giving the impression of playful, temporary art left behind.

A tip for the sharp tips 🪡
I often pin bias binding rather than pressing it in half, prior to attaching, and this works well for that!

Close-up photo of a sewing pin stuck through yellow fabric with large white polka dots. The pin has a small silver earring back on the sharp end Below the photo is a tip titled “Pin Safety.” The text explains that using earring backs on directional pins can prevent accidental pin sticks and keep pins securely in place until quilt rows are joined. Tip submitted by Joyce McCutcheon of Hohenwald, Tennessee.

These three feathered friends love your heart and your sentiment
Watercolor illustration of three birds side by side, each labeled beneath. On the left is a Flicker, a woodpecker with speckled plumage, a red patch on its head, and black markings. In the center stands a Dodo, a plump, extinct bird with a curved beak and small wings, set against a soft shoreline background. On the right is a Titmouse, a small bird with blue and yellow coloring perched on a leafy branch. Together, the first letter of each bird name creates -->> FDT

Cartoon-style graphic of a black bomb with a lit fuse, surrounded by a bright red and yellow explosion burst. Across the bomb, bold blue letters spell out the phrase "Truth Bomb", emphasizing the idea of dropping a blunt or powerful truth.

🧻💩🧻
Cartoon of Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters in a suit and tie, red-faced and sweating, awkwardly trying to jam a square block into a round hole on a toddler’s shape sorter toy. The brightly colored toy emphasizes how basic the task is, while his struggle highlights political incompetence and misplaced priorities.

It looks like you’re trying to choose between reality and denial. Need some assistance?

Cartoon Clippy, the Microsoft paperclip assistant, cheerfully pointing at two buttons labeled ‘Take the red pill’ with a red capsule and ‘Take the blue pill’ with a blue capsule. A speech bubble above him says, ‘It looks like you’re trying to make a choice. Would you like to take the red pill or the blue pill?

On the right, a dandelion plant with a large, spreading root system remains in the ground, representing how it grows back stronger if not pulled from the root.

After making Tula Pink's Butterfly Quilt, I swore I'd never make another person's "Orphan Block" quilt again 🤪 If you feel confident, make your own blocks to fit inside a heart the size you want 😁 Orrr, pay up and have fun! I paid for this pattern, and modified it my own way 😀 Either way; ENJOY!
Large, colorful quilt featuring a symmetrical butterfly design made from patchwork blocks in a rainbow gradient from purple at the top through red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Each butterfly wing incorporates intricate geometric patterns, with realistic human eyes peering from the upper corners and intense dragon-like eyes in the lower center. The background is dark with subtle tree-like patterns and scattered appliqué butterflies, framed by a multicolored butterfly-print border.

Still chugging along with this Somerset Garden pattern. Eventually, it should be about kind sized...but for now, we're here 😁 I really do enjoy English Paper Piecing... just need more time 🙃

#quiltsky #epp
English Paper Piecing quilt project in progress, based on the Somerset Garden pattern. Six large hexagon-based floral and geometric motifs in purples, greens, aquas, and blues are arranged around a central star. The work is laid out on a tan carpet, with each piece made from many tiny hexagons.

Finished and able to be gifted before Halloween!
That's a win for me 🤪
I'm still overly humored by glow in the dark fabric 😃

It measures 35x30 inches and the pattern is "Mystic Whiskers" by Quilts of Whimsy

#quiltsky #fpp
A completed 30x35 inch quilt. The quilt features a black cat wearing a tall witch’s hat, perched on a tree branch in front of a large full moon. The cat is reading an open book, and the scene is set against a starry night sky with colorful autumn leaves scattered throughout. The same quilt shown in the dark to highlight the glow-in-the-dark fabric. The full moon glows a vivid green, revealing the silhouette of the cat and witch’s hat in front of it.

I'm only doing 4 blocks a month on this "Alaska Pattern" but I tossed the ones that are done on the wall for a look...

#quiltsky
Kaleidescope quilt blocks on a design wall. The quilt is obviously unfinished as there are blank spaces where future quilt blocks should go. The quilter is following the Alaska pattern by Laundry Basket Quilts and the colors are shades of brown from light to very dark.

A hand holds a small clear plastic container filled with neatly stacked, colorful English Paper Piecing (EPP) fabric shapes in front of a calm pond. The fabric pieces are primarily purple with striped and floral patterns. The background shows a sandy shore, blurred water, and trees. An arrangement of English Paper Piecing hexagons, Jewels, diamonds, and half hexagons are laid out on a black cutting mat. The pieces form a circular mandala-like pattern with vibrant purple, blue, and pink fabrics featuring stripes, floral designs, and starburst motifs, surrounded by light grey hexagons.
