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

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

"Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

"If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not 'inalienable' and they're not 'rights.'

"We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

"And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with."

I've been screaming this for years.

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.

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 ☹️

Thank you! I love the colours, and the throw is large enough to fussy-cut and pattern match to make it really good. Can’t wait to cut into it!

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.

A)breathe. B)YouTube videos on basic machine maintenance for your brand/model. C)practice sewing straight lines on lined papet (old needle, no thread). D)Take two small scraps of square fabric. Put them right sides together and saw on one side about 1/4” from the edge. you’re sewing! go from there.

A square of fabric with various peach and pink flowers overlaid with navy blue is surrounded on three sides with folded squares in various shades of pink, peach, and blue fabric. A large square of light cream fabric is on the right.

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.

Planning. Cutting. Piecing. Basting. Quilting. Binding. Hours of work, even for the simplest and smallest of quilts.

Nope. No matter your quilting choices, the words “quilter” and “lazy” just cannot be put in a same sentence.
