Created more hearts to spread peace and love in my community by leaving for others to find. Sometimes leaving them at medcenters where someone facing difficult/frightening situations might need a little love in this world where hate is normalized. #quiltedhearts, #quiltsky, #sewing, #quilting

Still spreading peace and love by leaving these for others everywhere I go. Trying to fight hate one heart at a time. #quiltedhearts , #quilting , #peace, #sewing

As an old lady quilter on the eve of the no kings protest, I’m honoring the hippies who came before me, I’m doing the peace love thing by leaving hearts like these around town for others to find and keep. Love and peaceful protests conquers hate. #quiltedhearts , #peace, #quilting

I finally finished this small Van Gogh ish poppies and starry night quilt today. It’s shown on a queen size bed for size comparison.

I took this artistic Van Gogh ish panel and cut it into 12 pieces and added the sashes to create the typical attic window look. Nine pieces shown on right. On my design wall tonight. Still in progress. #quilts , #quilting , #sewing , #quiltart , #sew .

I’m beginning the design process for an Ukraine quilt . The blue looks darker there than in person. I may quilt in , or appliqué on, sunflowers or peace doves. #quiltsky , #quilts, #quilting , #sewing . Finished quilt will be donated.

Here’s to my fellow strong women, I’m so proud to stand with you and I relay that through my textile related art as well. #women, #RBG , #strongwomen, #womensrights , #equality.

Finished my Van Gogh ish quilt, it is just a throw size. Salute to Van Gogh when he was in the mental hospital working on his irises, so I created a window perspective. #quiltsky , #quilting, #quilts , #sewing .

My quilts aren’t ready to show yet but my bear , made of fabric depicting old 1915 suffragette buttons, is clad in RBG robe and collar. Nods to Susan B Anthony and Ruth Bader Ginsburg fights for women’s rights. Now the torch is in our hands.

I finally finished ripping out stitches, replacing them, then binding it. It’s on queen size bed for size comparison. So many mistakes in this but finally completed. Entire thing is pieced together with 2” wide triangles in 4 fabrics. Took months to do. #quilting , #quilts , #quiltsky , #sewing .

Women comprise over 50% of our population. We shouldn’t have to fight for equality but here we are. So here’s my salute to strong women everywhere, starting with Susan B Anthony and RBG. #sewing, #womensrights , #motivation #equality ,

Yes I settled on a beige border so that the window would be more prominent.It’s lying across my long arm’s frame now but I haven’t yet pinned it onto the frame to quil it. The border looks larger than it will be when finished because the backing is also shown and it’s 5” more on all sides.

Working on this Van Gogh-ish window quilt. On my design wall tonight. Trying to decide on the border colors because it’s a tad too small without borders. Quilting keeps me somewhat sane during these insane days. #quiltsky , #quilts, #sewing , #quilting .

Sometimes world domination is not enough. My cat is obviously beginning her research in preparation for Universe domination. (I needed a smile during these insane two weeks, maybe you do as well :-) ). #cats, #astronomy
