I cannot wait for the day when I do not hear/read that horrid man’s name on the news. What a glorious day that will be.

Groceries were 150% of what they were last time. I think the economic #trumpslump is starting to infiltrate our everyday life. Super.

This is Ella, an almost 12yo species of particularly invasive lap fungus. She’s got 5 thumbs, a birthmark on her eye, and we named her for Ella Fitzgerald because she walks around singing. She has been wheezing and getting thinner and thinner lately, and scans show cancer in her lungs. I’m broken.

Every left-leaning woman in your life is getting heavy into arts and crafts right now because they don’t know what else to do with their rage

A handstitched embroidery on denim for my quilt panels. I found a sparkly earring in the junk box at the charity shop and added it for that little touch of bling ✨️

Can JD be impeached too? Bc it seems to me that he totally is as culpable in this travesty as the Don.

It’s been a heck of a week. Lots of quilt ideas swimming around in my head so I can respond to current events in a more constructive way than just worrying or mouthing off. *sigh*

FebruARTy … #quiltsky #quilting #februarty #inspiringartists I made this quilt based on a section of a digital painting I designed in Procreate a few years ago, testing a technique I hope to teach someday.

How I spent my retreat this past weekend… pattern testing! I promised this pattern by the end of the month so I was walking through my instructions and making sure I had all the diagrams I should have. Getting much closer, and I have something pretty too! #quilting #cherrywoodfabrics

Made this using Sam Hunter’s “Quilt Talk” book in 2021. I haven’t finished putting it together because I think I want to size down his name a little bit so it isn’t the longest line, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I think it’s time.

I’ve made 10 of these. Two aren’t shown here because I either don’t have it anymore (I took it apart because it was too small for Santa’s elves) or because it was the prototype and isn’t quite right. But after a year of hard work, I think I finally have figured out this garment pattern stuff.

I’ve been hard at work getting my GenX Jacket pattern finished and ready to go. I’m excited but a bit worried about being able to keep up with orders… because of the size of it I’ll only be able to sell physical copies and I don’t enjoy the shipping part.

I’ve been away. I’m tentatively peeking back in. *sigh*

Finished the handstitching on this [FINALLY] and now my question has been answered— yep, it works. Didn’t know for sure until now. #cherrywoodfabrics #opticalillusionquilt

Maaaaaaaaaybe we will get home tonight but I’m honestly not optimistic; every single flight we’ve watched go through this gate today has been delayed and ours isn’t until 8:45.

Currently 31 hours into an epic saga of trying to get home from a wonderful family trip. Yesterday our travels took us on a 15h tour of the northeast US that finished 115 miles from where we started… and even further away from our desired destination.
