When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

Chicago was FULL today and I felt restored by being surrounded by my fellows, all caring and trying.

A multicolored embroidered mola with a loon, fish, and flowers

A red, black, and blue patchwork quilt with a multicolored mola of a loon, fish, and flowers in the center. The quilt is spread out flat on a neutral background

A mere SixTEEN YEARS in the making- learned a lot on this one and did my first ever hand quilting. I'm really pleased and so is my dear husband, the newly-cozy recipient #quiltsky

Done and asked friends. Thank you!!

Hey #bikechi we need more folks to file witness slips in support of HB2454, providing that a person operating a bicycle is deemed to be an intended user of every roadway and portion of roadway on which bicyclists are permitted to ride. my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/...

Base of bike lane bollard - potential hazard.

FYI #bikechi friends - watch out for bollard-less base in Franklin bike lane just N of Adams. I reported via 311. Hope it gets fixed before someone gets hurt.

Red, black, blue, and floral quilt bunched up with a colorful centerpiece inside of a wooden hoop.

My longest-running WIP and first hand quilting attempt- the center medallion is a mola we bought in Panama in 2009. The teeny stitches that artist made are very impressive/intimidating. It's cool to feel like I'm collaborating with her. #quiltsky

A source of delight I have been giving myself since 2020: a print club subscription to Starshaped Press. Each month I get a small bundle of local art, suitable for sharing, and I have an excuse to send a letter to somebody I love. www.starshaped.com

Wally Dion’s ‘Bison quilt’ against a blue and white sky.

Quilt and horse rider against a Saskatchewan rolling prairie.

“I was considering how all of these things worked together to create what is known as the 'prairie tall grass ecosystem... I wanted to highlight the invisibility of systems when everything is working well, as it should be.” - Wally Dion

We need to help people understand the harms that are happening, what's being stolen from them, and who's stealing it. The word fascist isn't the most important tool in our arsenal when doing that work.

Must be said again and again, the police are defunding us. Our schools our parks our trains, literally everything.

She loved it 😁

Guess who's fucking up again?

It's UIC.

Come thru. 12PM.

Jelly roll quilt with alternating ombre strips and batik strips in corals, pinks, and purples. The strips make an off-center X shape and navy fills in the edges. A modified version of the Adventureland pattern.

Done, bound, and ready for gifting tomorrow! This little cozy lap quilt is a surprise for a dear friend who said she likes "sunset colors" best. Every stitch with love, like my mom always says. 💕
