I need help picking headshots for our website. 1, 2 or 3?

Trying to get better at posting over here

First quarter 2025 is booked…future me needs a nap

Remix of the Black Panther panel with a different border. Gives the quilt a different vibe.

The Black Panther quilts are always a crowd pleaser. I’m honestly amazed that Marvel didn’t make more tapestries for other properties. The demand is there.

2018 me prayed for days like today. It really all does work out in time.

I read the Big Leap because of @kevonstage.bsky.social and it helped me do my first big leap a couple years ago. Now I’m gearing up for another. It’s scary but I’ve done it once, and I’m gonna do it again.

Today had hands. I think I won based on points, but I’m gonna lay down.

Not me having a good idea AND executing it!

My boyfriend sent me this, but dis me with my cats lmao

Practice makes progress. This demon slayer quilted wallhanging was one of our earlier works, and I still love it. We have learned a few new tricks since. I’m excited to see how we look back a year from now.

Sometimes I look at my cat and think how lucky I am to have him. Then other days I look at this demon and think “have you considered not doing the most for 5 minutes?! You might like it.”

Many years ago I invested in a proper hooded dryer. It hurt at the time, but this thing runs like a tank and has always done right by me.

Our tv segment drops today!!!

Speaking of supporting your local library. The Libby app is free and you can check out books and audiobooks available at your local library. All you need is a library card!

Exactly! Plus I’m enjoying the hunt for quality. There is a rush of finding what you wanted for a good price

I say “the recipe is a little different every time so I can’t guarantee the flavor” at least once a month lol. Love that movie

If you would have told me last year that I would casually be making gallons of bone broth, I would have laughed at you. Now I got a chest freezer full of bones and tendons lol. Life comes at your fast

Maybe they do better marketing outside of the USA. I would love if they leveraged their IP better with strategic partnerships. I should have an official Lego set of Howl’s Castle. Spirited Away should have its own kitchen line. They have a beautiful universe of stories. But the promo could be better

I’m a quilter. Taking random bits and making some magic. JamesLaurenBeauty.com

Porco Rosso and The Cat Returns. If you have Max, give them a try because I feel like they don’t get enough love AND ghibli needs better merch.

Big same. I am amazed at the people who constantly go viral. While you get a lot of love, all the random negativity looked stressful. I had a handful of posts that did decent and the response was enough for me to stop posting.

Gentle reminder: You are way too fine and way too amazing to be thinking you’re not.

It is!! So worth the watch

My comfort movies are the 1999 Mummy and Princess and the Frog.

I have come to terms with never watching all of one piece but I get the hype. We also used sparkly gold thread for the coins in this quilt. So the coins shimmer.

My favorite color is green so this might be my favorite traditional quilt of the year

Just finished episode one of the new Alex Cross. Wow….that was amazing.
