In the US, presidents don't censor the media. Freedom of the press sets us apart from dictatorships.

After Trump called PBS "radical, woke propaganda," Republicans want to cut $1.1 BILLION from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Another step toward authoritarianism.

This was so much fun to make. No wonder it’s called the Happy Stripes Quilt by Emily Dennis #quiltsky #modernquilting #happystripesquilt

No. Definitely the worst I’ve seen.

I have two of these, and they are way off also.

I love the mix of machine and hand quilting!

Why hasn’t the Supreme Court directed the military to strip HIM of power?

We keep saying this, but when will it be enforced? When will SCOTUS do its job?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

SAVE Act just passed House. It is modern-day poll tax that would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans, end online, mail + voter registration drives & require voters to register in person at election offices, forcing some rural voters to drive 8 hours to register. Total disaster in every way

I am not. I do feel quilting has helped my mood over these challenging weeks since 1/20/25. I see a lot of beautiful political quilts in my FB group. They are progressive. Wish they could move here.

So I realize we’re not going to even know the results of this no buy day because the companies won’t report, hoping we get discouraged and stop trying.

Improv pieced letters that read "To Create is To Resist". The letters are sewn from a series of tone-on-tone rainbow fabrics, with the first and last letter being red and the other letters mirroring each other, front to middle to back, in this order: pink, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple. The center word "Is" is pieced from tone-on-tone black fabric and the backing fabric for the entire 5 foot plus banner is white.

Not yet quilted, but this improv pieced banner is done, featuring one of my favorite quotes by concentration camp survivor and rights activist StΓ©phane Hessel

His full quote is "To create is to resist. To resist is to create." but I didn't have enough scraps […]
