I’m late, but I love Halloween and this was it for 2025. Was not feeling very inspired this year though.

The boss is busy with Ruby Star Society’s new Geometry line and we LOVE IT! Looks like faceted jewels. 😍

This is going to be a gorgeous modern quilt! #quiltsky

Oh hey, I made this. My friend is adding the binding today because I finished making this quilt top a month after the fabric arrived 🤣 oops.

It’ll be displayed at Sew Senoia in Fayetteville, Ga next week!

A portrait of the author on a rock. And a reminder of my post-apoc, environmental, queer family story.

In honor of #caturday, I give you Stella

The good thing about not having a close circle of friends is that I have a lot more time to read and sew some quilts and other projects.

Exciting Saturday over here… studying for an upcoming mystery quilt program so I can make the sample. I’m happy about the sample, not excited about the studying.

It seems like I try to break a toe or something foot related about once every 10 years. Fingers crossed I didn’t break the bones above my big toe tonight 🤣

I’m so happy to have the day off today, but I have to post a bunch of stuff on FB for work 😭🫤

Look at this gorgeous #quilt made for the 50 Years of Moda contest! The maker is 14 years old, and we are so proud of her.

How are we doing with this whole work, live, play, and watching idiots run the US every day?

While I am frustrated, I have to keep hoping that the teensy steps taken each day are getting me somewhere. Somewhere better, and I hope for more than just myself.

What’s on the quilter today? 😍
When I first saw this quilt, I was in love. Kennedy did a beautiful job on this one!
Let me know if you’d like to be featured on #otqt (on the quilter today)! Or I’ll ask for forgiveness later because we can’t help but want to share these lovely quilts. 🤣

Also, Book Three in my queer, mmm witch series GREAT HEX comes out in a month! So a bit of shameless self-promotion to start my new journey here.

In the spirit of @dailybeanspod.bsky.social “good trouble” and leaning into art as resistance, I’d like to recommend creating for your people who are at center of the existential dread spiral. (I’m a self taught quilter so if you have any questions about the pattern please ask!) 🧵 1/2

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”

I really felt that.

I'm a horror and fantasy writer who likes to mash genres together like naked barbie dolls. I've been writing publicly for almost 9 years, have self-published a number of books, and edited a couple more. My latest is a dark fantasy horror titled THREADS OF ASH: SOUTH. All of it's on Amazon.

Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

My SM history pendulum swings between creative folks inspiring me with their works and being pissed off at world news updates.
