Speak truth, Friends! Quakers died for these freedoms.
This is morally wrong.
The spirit of Christ, which leads us into all Truth, will never move us to fight and war against any man with outward weapons, neither for the kingdom of Christ, nor for the kingdoms of this world.
~ George Fox
II Cor 10:3 (KJV) “We do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” — Human warfare is neither moral nor effective. It has been wrong in the Gulf for the last 35 years (and many more).
Good point. I didn’t realize!
This - Mind the Light - and if it tells you to speak, use your voice every time to speak Truth
Sarah - I hate to give advice because your gorgeous quilt has so much white and such bright colors but….. I have made several similarly colored quilts and just washed them on hot with some Synthrapol detergent. They have been fine. YMMV!!
I have never done Facebook and don’t do Google but you are correct about Duck Duck Go
This is an amazing essay. I will be thinking about it all day - and it ends with art. What we make. I will die, but there will remain dozens of quilts that exist because of my hands, my brain. Yes, it’s hubris to call them art, but will they carry my ghost?
You all are so cool. Not really my demographic (overall) but I’ve watched your stuff over the years and love how effectively you portray what you’re depicting.
I have seen those grid fusibles and always wondered. Your R2D2 looks great though.
Yes. Literally physically ill.
This is unconscionable. Nursing homes are chronically understaffed. The only way to force the management companies to increase staffing is by state and Medicare regulations (and oversight).
Sometimes you just want to do some stitching. Hand quilting bits of an old panel I had leftover from something else.
This is a continuing shame. Don’t talk to me about MAHA until you make it safe for ALL women in pregnancy and childbirth.
Mine do too! I wonder what causes that? What’s the physics behind how they fall?
This was true 23 years ago, 33 years ago, and is true today.
One of many reasons we strongly oppose automatic registration for the military draft ⬇️
“This extensive data gathering poses a significant risk of weaponization and misuse, particularly with the potential for targeting the most vulnerable such as immigrant and transgender young adults."
Speak Truth
Thank you for persisting and for representing your people. You are a true example of a *professional* nurse advocating for real health care. Caring for the health of the community.
And the worst thing is that they are profiting from foolish women and injured babies. As a sibling of an older adult with CP how could you risk that purposely? Unconscionable. We were grateful he lived, but to choose this?
Who knew! I am both a nurse and a quilter and have not heard of this technique. This study shows promise. I’m so glad it turned up in my #quiltsky feed
Masked ICE agents raided a church in NC on Saturday, causing fear in a place where everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome.
“We thought church was safe and nothing [was] gonna happen,” a 15-year-old witness said. “But it did happen.”
This must stop. 👇
St Martin predated Geo. Fox on Pendle Hill but both were right
Worth remembering that the Christian nationalism that fueled the empires in The Great War seeded Europe's turn away from Christianity for the next century.
Historically, Christian nationalism is the enemy of true faith. It is a false gospel whose fruits are known mostly in war.
I’m reposting this in case anyone is forgetting what it really is about. These things are the *what* that we should remember and act upon.
Ha - why are there always 5 corners when binding a quilt???
I’ve come to this very late - I think they have finished their run, but am listening through from the beginning (MK Thailand)
Some idiot in Wisconsin is trying to diss the older folks who were protesting by mocking the nickname "grantifa" -- one I wear proudly. If he thinks that's an insult, he's dumber than I thought. Grandmas will always oppose fascism.
And Quakers
