Sasquatch.Stitches

John Lewis stands on the Edmund Pettus bridge with his arms crossed. Text reads "coming soon, Sew Liberal II, Good Trouble Edition, Mini Quilt or Bag Swap, Signups open 8/22/2025-9/6/2025, details in comments"

Shameless promotion of another liberal quilt/bag swap that we are hosting on IG. Hopefully, someday, this platform will have the capability to host swaps here. Co hosting with @ the_happy_sewist and @grammyjojo.bsky.social. details on my IG page, @sasquatch.stitches.

Keep your foot on the gas America!

This quilt is a donation to @mxdomestic.bsky.social for his fiber auction to raise money for @thetrevorproject.bsky.social. The auction begins on 6/22 and ends 6/29 - you can view auction items and bid over on IG, @mxdomesticfundraiser.

Colorful quilt comprised of Bear Paw blocks set in groups of four with thin sashing between the blocks and a wider border between the groups.

My most recent finish - this was made from blocks I received in the To Bee Or Not To Bee group. I had asked for Bear Paw blocks and received so many great blocks 💙 #quiltsky

Love this

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

I like that idea!

In fabric, two middle fingers and the words Fuck The High Road in orange ona white background. Below, the words Resist and Rage also in fabric.

Making some progress on my High Road quilt. I'm thinking of surrounding this with resistance words. Or I may just quilt it and bring it to the next protest. Decisions, decisions.... #quiltsky

On Wisconsin!

From abortion rights to workers’ rights, Judge Susan Crawford has a long history of protecting our fundamental freedoms.

Wisconsinites deserve a fair and common sense justice like her on the WI Supreme Court. Vote for Judge Crawford by April 1st!

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Truth - Chuck Schumer never should have caved. This is not our parent's political era.

I did- I'm still working on it.

A quilt with orange letters on a white background spelling "fuck the high road".

Dem's need to stop playing nice in the sandbox and garner more AOC and Jasmine Crockett energy.

Protest quilt in progress #modernquilt #protestquilt

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

*Not My Work* These are the mini quilt and bags that were made during the Sew Liberal swap that I hosted over on IG. It was an amazing group of creative craftivists, and many are continuing their efforts in the Bee A Craftivist community.

Blue background illuminated my an overhead light with white text "Bee a Craftivist! Signups are now open for a Craftivist Bee Block exchange, created for, and by, this that are stitching the resistance, one block at a time".

Sorry that this has to be kickstarted over on IG, but I don't mind raising a bit of hell over there. More information and the sign up form can be found on my IG account, @sasquatch.stitches.

Plainly unlawful and unconstitutional. No one can issue such an order; the President and his officers cannot simply ignore an entity created and funded by Congress.

Well said and well done Senator @schatz.bsky.social

They're still going!

Senate has been on the floor all night long. Tune in live here, we really have some amazing people in office.

Daily reminder that you should be a good person and support others when they are in danger. One way to do that is attend and/or donate to my seminar benefiting the @saluscentermi. You can also win this awesome quilt donated by @craftsdepartment, which we will raffle off at the event. #bjj

I think you should sew it up, I love it! Not to mention that sewing is cathartic.

It's a change for sure! Use #quiltsky on quilt related posts and find a good quilting starter pack. @mctavishquilting.bsky.social has a great one to get you started. When posting photos it is suggested to use alt text for inclusivity.

Why I'm Boycotting the American Quilter's Society — Io the Alien The American Quilter's Society has a long history of censoring artists. Read about their history of censorship, and why I'm boycotting AQS shows.

When I first wrote this blog post, I thought maybe 50 people would read it. In 72 hours, I've had almost 11k hits on my blog, from all around the world. I'm grateful to everyone continuing the conversation.

AQS has doubled down on their censorship stance & has yet to release a statement. Sponsors: Bernina @accuquilt.bsky.social Brother @handiquilter.bsky.social @husqvarnaviking.bsky.social Janome Innova Pfaff Superior Threads et al, I hope you're paying attention to who your $ is supporting

Woo hoo!! Great news! The SAQA board voted unanimously to pull the entire show out of AQS (see previous post for details)

And the International Quilt Museum has acquired my quilt for their permanent collection!

We all could use some good news. Thank you everyone for making your voices heard!

Bravo to SAQA 👏👏👏
