Finished this book some time ago, but needed to go crazy with the post-its to feel like I’m ready for the talks! Thanks, @michelleicard.bsky.social, I’m really thankful I discovered this book before I really needed it 😆

Completed my third quilt! It was made during my improvisational quilting studies earlier this year where I used only t-shirts! This one tells an icy Lake Erie story: ice crashing, geese flying, and lake glass tumbling. I gifted it to my daughter on her 11th birthday 🧶 #quiltsky

Feeling proud of the quilts I’ve made the past six months in my “Improv That Block” workshop with @sherrilynnwood.bsky.social I couldn’t have imagined I would create these functional pieces of art and now I can’t stop! I used only t-shirts and they are as snuggly as you imagine! 🧶 #quiltsky

Had this little sweetie hanging around our yard for a few days. We named it Albert, cause, you know, the hair! #bird

Staining the bathroom sink at home like real punk rock girls. Also I think I was subconsciously inspired by my paint by number when planning out these colors?

All I wanted was the Waldo Stick from my childhood for my birthday. Today I turn 42 and my wish came true.

Hourglass improv complete! This one is an homage to the tie-dye of my teen years and how that doesn’t seem very long ago and also a lifetime ago all at once? Time is weird! Made with only t-shirts from my collection 🧶 #quiltsky

Still need to figure out its final form, but I love the little pop art pup quilt I made during a workshop with @iothealien.com! All new techniques for me and of course I just used what was on hand, including vintage daisy printed fabrics and my daughter’s tattered sweater for batting! #quiltsky 🧶

Growing up, my parents had Kliban books and I would often sneak them away to peek inside 👀 Still have the books, and I can’t resist a cat when I find it.

Thanks for your contributions to the world, Derf! Rereading Punk Rock and Trailer Parks right now!

Our neighborhood deer ate most of my tulips (left the bulbs though!) so I decided to just snip the rest and enjoy ‘em. Our new fence can’t come soon enough!
