A Joshua tree quilt from #quiltingthenationalparks which was published out this week! I made this as a test two years ago and had been dreaming of this photo since then. Huge thanks to Mark for holding it up patiently on an impossibly windy evening at our campsite a few weeks ago.

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

The last tiny Ohio star grid - I started assembling the entire top yesterday but had to lay them out one last time all together ✨

A courthouse steps bee block (and a sneak peak at the top) for my quilt bee quilt from last year! Finally getting around to making the last few blocks so I can finish this one ✨

Some Ohio stars for my son’s big kid bed (he got the bed a year ago but slept under a rotating hodgepodge of random house quilts. Currently he sleeps in his camping gear on the floor (his choice - as long as he’s sleeping we aren’t fighting it) so there is clearly no rush on this one. #quiltsky

So I have the #flashesapp now and I feel like the world’s biggest Luddite - I can’t figure out how to make it so I can post there but not here? And not show all my old bsky posts? I am very particular about what photos go on a grid, I am very aware this is a Me problem 🫠) it looks cool though!

Some sewing actually happened 🎉 some candy colored February bee blocks, just under the wire.

pouring one out today for my local Joann’s, which is ten minutes away from my house and is on the list of proposed store closures 💔

Work has been crazy so, not a lot of time for sewing lately, but here is some recent scrap bin lone star patchwork ✨

Had the energy for some after work/bedtime/kitchen cleaning patchwork, which hasn’t happened a lot this month! I am embarrassingly imprecise when I sew these scrappy lone stars (no pins, only ripping out the most egregious mistakes) they feel so freeing and happy to make ✨

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

Making a pineapple block for the first time since my scrap bin is overflowing and I am between projects. No plans for this one but, it is nicely satisfying and part of my new years goals were to try sewing blocks I’ve never made before ✨
