Frank Lloyd Wright inspired quilt. 25”x50” Horizontal wall quilt comprised of two exact blocks. Each is a pattern of various squares and rectangles, radiating from a plus sign shape in the centre, outwards. Medium brown, cream and dark brown to emulate the appearance of wood with many cutouts to replicate the inspiration for the design.

Commission for my World buddy, an architect & Frank Lloyd Wright fan. Replicated a light cover in Allen House from pics of an original & current wooden copy.
Simple colours, bit of artistic license. My most technically challenging quilt. 650 pieces & LOTS of seams.

“Since the Ontario Place spa was approved, Therme Group RHTG has posted yearly net losses…”

Therme has also experienced significant delays in getting some of their European projects built.

Looks like Doug Ford’s dream of a casino in downtown Toronto is close to coming true.

Mike Wilner: Blue Jays dodge L.A. sweep after an unlikely closer rings up Shohei Ohtani with the game on the line The Jays headed home Sunday evening with the best record in the American League and a four-game lead in the East.

I wrote about that incredible finish in L.A. today.

Mason Fluharty deserves a lot more than a save. #Bluejays

The patterns of light make the concrete and carpet next level. Nothing beats good lighting.

I lost the scale for a moment and thought this was the size of a courtyard, with people looking up to the lights. Not quite Lego sized... Lol.
Beautiful carpet btw.

Oh ya... Two and a half years in remission according to my wonderful radiation oncologist at Princess. Margaret.
Hell ya! 🙏

Nine photos of Doug Ford looking angry, sad, confused, deranged, and full of bees.

I was just reminded that Jill Dunlop - the fourth of five education ministers we’ve had to endure since the Cons took power - announced that teachers should keep politics out of the classroom.

I guess I need to rethink my Which Doug Are You Today? morning meeting check in.

Mountains. Flowers. A stone cottage. It’s heaven.

One of my sisters is hiking through the French/Swiss/Italian Alps right now so I’m stealing her pictures as reminders of this beautiful world we get to live in that is worth fighting for.

Will that shade move a touch quicker please. ... 🥵

A heart drawn in white sidewalk chalk is filled with a rainbow and the word LOVE.

Happy summer, loves.

17yo is off to her first job as a camp counselor up in Muskoka. It's also a whole summer away. So here, there's lots of feels... happy and some sad.... But mostly happy... And sad.... 🥲😅

How complicated would it be to run a poll and find market tolerance for $50 a day in parking fees and if that’s tenable. My guess is that the uptake on this would be so low that they couldn’t make this work financially. This whole deal from top to bottom, including the science center, stinks.

Stay cool friends!

Shawn Micallef: Let’s fix it: Toronto’s ‘ugliest intersection’ hides a unique strength under its shabby looks One of a series of columns that highlights places in Toronto that could do with fixing up — and how they could be improved

I wrote about what's sometimes called Toronto's ugliest intersection & things that might fix it. Bloor and Dundas, next to one of the biggest transit hubs in the GTA, much opportunity.

Welcome, summer.

We restrict multi-res to busy streets and insist on balconies and roof terraces, sculpted building forms to make sure the sidewalk doesn’t get any shadow; we force road widenings on road that don’t need to wider, desiring patios so ppl can sit in the grime/noise of racing traffic & then restrict 1/

Beautiful June weather and Die Hard is playing on some channel. I mean Christmas movies seem to come earlier each year, but this is a bit much.

Cares more about building than the vehicle. But what a work horse.
And guy just randomly popped out of his house. Over 700k on that.

Acknowledging our Treaties by King Charles III was pinnacle in cementing what my people have always known and stood for-Canada’s sovereignty.

Stronger together. Period. A’ho! 🪶🙌🏽🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #TreatyRights

BREAKING: King Charles III of the United Kingdom enrages MAGA world by proclaiming that Canada will remain "strong and free" amidst Donald Trump's efforts to turn it into the "51st state."

And it gets even better...

"The ‘True North’ is indeed strong and free,"

Today, I had the honour of attending the Speech from the Throne, delivered by His Majesty King Charles III to open the 45th session of Parliament! It was the first time a reigning monarch has delivered this speech in Canada since Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, the year I was born!

it's because nobody listened to my suggestion of changing the word "houses" to "breweries" so that Doug would prioritize building them www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Shawn Micallef: How this transit plan could finally make ‘Sufferin’ Dufferin’ a thing of the past There are 'RapidTO' plans to create transit priority lanes on Dufferin as well as Bathurst streets.

The Dufferin & Bathurst bus priority lanes are the only way to break the transit death spiral in Toronto. They must happen & the mayor needs to make sure they’re a raging success. Mission critical as future fixes rely on their success. My column this week. Pls read n share.

If you’d like to write to the Therme Canada team and let them know how you feel about their plans, here’s their mailing address.
