IT by day, fibre arts by night. I believe in kindness, diversity and equality. She/Her and sometimes “that crone”
Made a cute spring table runner as a gift to my mom. It’s been three years since I’ve last seen her. I hope she likes it! #quilting #quiltsky

Look at Pam’s stupendous opus of fucks! It’s inspiring! It’s vibrant! It’s entirely warranted and in step with world sentiment! Take a bow Pam! I hope this gets the visibility it deserves! #quiltsky
It’s done, I’m officially out of fucks. I’m thinking about hand quilting it so I can stab something about a million times. #quiltsky #improvquilt #ragequilting

Last year, when one company experienced losses for supporting a trans influencer, MAGA jeered "Go Woke, Go Broke."

Now that every company is experiencing financial uncertainty for supporting Trump, can we all reply: "Go Anti-Woke, Go SUPER Broke"?

October ‘24: he’s not serious about the tariffs
February ‘25: he’s not serious about the tariffs, it’s too crazy
March ‘25: ok now there is a date but it is just negotiating leverage
April ‘25: ok he did it but he’ll roll them back right
May ‘30: these tariffs can’t last forever, that’d be insane

It is quite curious that every election I get a voter card for someone who does not live at my address, hasn’t lived there for at least 15 years, or more likely, ever. Even more so when I report it every single time, yet the following election, it happens again. #ontariovote #provincialelection #huh

As much as Doug Ford wants us to believe this election is about tariffs and the economy, it's clear he wanted this election well before Trump was elected. And he picked the dead of winter, hoping he could just coast into a third win. Get out and vote today to prove him wrong. #ONpoli

Absolutely spectacular. I consider myself a pretty fair quilter but dang, the artistry on this one is just phenomenal.
Congratulations to Veruschka Zarate for winning Best in Show at QuiltCon!

Simple fact.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Found a very simple abounds jacket pattern and cut pieces after work. I knit and quilt but is my first attempt at garment sewing, so fingers crossed that it turns out.

But first out to shovel ☹️

Good for them!
Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most.

Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location.

Eastern KY activists bought land where feds wanted to build a prison
Rep. Hal Rogers has wanted another prison in eastern Kentucky for years. Local and national activists say the new land owners have better plans for Letcher County.

Went thrifting on Saturday and got a nice selection of fabric sheets to turn into clothing, fingers crossed. Spent a very snowy Sunday laundering and unpicking the seam on what will hopefully become a light jacket.

Adding some orange to reds and purples does create a nice look of fire and warmth. Here is my quilt "dayspring" for FebruArty. What do you think? #februArty #artquilt #orange #artyear #quiltsofbluesky #landscapes

Been playing with my stash a lot lately. These looks like they could make a nice quilted spring vest. I made a (very) simple sewing pattern, now to figure out how to put together the patchwork.

She makes these amazing quilts I would consider to be collage (Fabricollage or Appliqué)
