Quilt guild meetings are often the highlight of my month and I say that with pride

I genuinely have a great and busy life and still quilt guild meetings are time well spent

Certainly an interesting development in the quilting world. craftindustryalliance.org/missouri-sta...
My personal take is that I will be shopping at my local family-owned small business quilt shop and switching to Paintbrush Solids.

I’m a quilter, but I have to make a garment every now and then just to remind myself how much I like quilting

This project was in collaboration with two friends Erin (@seamrippersociety) & Elysha (@quiltblocked). It documents the amount of miles a person must travel in the USA to get abortion care during May 2024. We based this off of the NPR map which I have linked in my bio.

We believe in choice. 💙

My latest, the “No. quilt”. I just submitted to #quiltcon2025

Based on some of the best advice I’ve taken to heart as a young woman:
