Quilts are math and project management with perseverance! This Jelly Roll Quilt in a Weekend took a lot of weekends - I took it apart three times before the lines matched up. Then, I hated the binding so I took that apart and redid it. Now, it drapes on my chair and I love it so much.

A few weeks ago, I made this cute bag. 🐝 It is wonky, has flaws, but it was my first attempt at sewing different weights of felt. I need to practice creative stitches, buy better stabilizer, and keep trying!

This was a two year process to finish this Kaffetastic Rainbow Star quilt. This quilt is pure joy! So many errors, so may crooked lines - so much learning for a first quilt. 🌈🩷

I’m obsessed with quilted bags and rainbows. A fun, small bag that I made in summer 2023. Pattern from @thelittlegreenbean (her reels and videos are helpful!)

8/ "The only real solution for farmworkers, for farmers, and for all of us, is far more fundamental change in the American immigration system. It’s a pathway to citizenship for the people who feed us.

And until migrant farmworkers are free and safe to work with dignity, none of us ever will be."
