We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

North Bend is actually its own city on the coast, just north of Coos Bay. 🙂 I still hope the helicopter is moved back to Newport, which I believe is busier and more likely to need it.

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Picture of a quilt and patchwork painted scarecrow. Quilt is a teal, turquoise, and oranges plaid pattern, featuring gnomes, pumpkins, and other fall items.

Finished the quilt top, then it took me a month to get a picture. 😅 Pattern is Friendship Plaid from the book “Quilting for Joy,” which I inherited from my grandmother. Fabric is mostly “Snuggle Season” from Lewis & Irene.

Don’t mind me over here, a soprano who has performed this piece, working out the appropriate note placement of lyrics for the lines to follow “and saying…” I think the addition of “For the Love of God” in place of “Glory to God” would work stylistically… 🤣

Quilt blocks with fabric featuring fall-themed gnomes and vegetables on turquoise and teal fabrics. Each block is separated into quarters by pumpkin-orange fabrics.

Blocks ready to stitch into rows (probably after squaring/rectangle-ing?). Looking forward to showing the full quilt top in the near future! Pattern is Friendship Plaid from a quilt book I inherited from my grandmother.

Fabric is Snuggle Season from Lewis & Irene.

A stack of unfinished quilt blocks. Fabric shows fall-themed gnomes, pumpkins, leaves, & acorns, all in fall colors on a dark teal background, with a narrow strip of pumpkin-orange polka dot fabric down the middle.

Quilting for my mental health. Pulled out a project I made good progress on last year, but had to put away to work on other things. More pictures and information to come after ironing.

I had missed the video credit; thank you for drawing my attention to that detail.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

At least half a million people across the U.S. marched in more than one thousand Workers over Billionaires demonstrations on Labor Day—but you wouldn’t know it by the amount of coverage media devoted to it. trib.al/ghoRZJ3

Thanks! It has a lot of room to walk & twirl, so it is a lot of fun to wear. 😄

Thank you! I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Thank you! I was overheating a bit in long sleeves, but it was the best color-match I could find in my closet. 😅😄

Thank you! I love having pockets, so I try to make sure anything I make has at least one. 😄

A woman standing on a large rock in the middle of a creek, wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt and a skirt made from white, green, and multicolored quilt top.

Skipped my project queue and made a skirt from a $5 estate sale quilt top. I look forward to wearing it to quilt shows. 😄

Before washing: two antique, age-stained quilts with a light background and diamond-paned stars of various colors.

First quilt on its first soak in the bathtub: water is brown, and smells as bad as it looks.

First quilt drying on the deck in the bright sunshine, reveals a much brighter & whiter background and the variety of colors in the stars have held up, other than one blue star which needs careful repair work. The binding and backing are actually supposed to be yellow! 🤣

The second quilt, in worse shape (though still reasonably solid for its age). Its design of a larger lone star and many of its surrounding stars are missing large pieces of fabric, and many rusty stains remain. It still looks much brighter and smells much better than before.

Made use of the heatwave of the last few days to wash & dry two antique quilts that belonged to my grandmother. Both quilts look and smell much better now. 😅

A sawtooth star-type quilt block with bear paw blocks in the corners and a center panel with the phrase “Let your light shine.”

First block (of twelve) complete! Pattern is a test for a friend, fabrics from my stash.

Happening now in Camarillo, protesters are desperately facing off against ICE to try to defend America’s farm workers.

A rainbow of fabric with a series of 8 squares with unicorns and sayings like “you add a little sparkle wherever you go,” “let your light shine bright,” and “you are one of a kind.”

Next quilt to start: a quilt pattern test for a friend! Panels will be the centers of stars with a rainbow for the rest of the quilt on scrappy white background.

Feeding the country lies isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice.

I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here’s the truth:

They are awesome! Of that set, I’m partial to the coffee cups. 😄

Please share!!!

What a wonderful find! For repairs, I usually hand-appliqué on patches over shredded blocks (after trimming and stabilizing as needed with some very light interfacing). Sounds like you have a good game plan. 🙂
