In 1978,I visited East Berlin,the wall up. The west Germans I was with pointed out the war torn streets, the cheap tin money,the Russian soldiers boots’ cardboard soles.Most disturbing was the downtrodden head hanging East Germans-Our country reminds me of this-preparation for authoritarianism.

Trump is so far up Putin’s ass he can see Sarah Palin’s house.

Ready to appliqué. #QuiltSky #RobinRuthDesigns #NoShrinkingViolet #TulipPinkUntamed. This quilt has made me happy. The fabric is beautiful and the pattern is a geometric puzzle. Great fun very rewarding because of the large Dresden fan pieces.

1st finish of 2025. #quiltsky #articstarqueen # I chose the colors of Kern County,CA where I live. The granite mountains studded with fir trees, the Kern River tumbles down bringing water to the valley Spring rains bring poppies,lupine and fields of gold. None happens without the sun. #SierraStar

YESSSSSS!!! Congratulations @laurashawquilts.bsky.social on the acquisition by the International Quilt Museum! What a beautiful outcome to this ongoing story. 🙌
Woo hoo!! Great news! The SAQA board voted unanimously to pull the entire show out of AQS (see previous post for details)

And the International Quilt Museum has acquired my quilt for their permanent collection!

We all could use some good news. Thank you everyone for making your voices heard!

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother
