Republicans took away your healthcare. We refused to fight back. Please rush us $3

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Where is this?

Oh! I saw that book this morning via my Quiltfolk magazine subscription. They showed the Yellowstone and I loved it. Yours is going to be so beautiful too — I’m sold! Placing my order 😀

Is that a Quiltfolk book?

Missed opportunity for “love in a tangle” 😂

Yeah I like to think I'm going to find some real gems at the bottom of the scrap bin, but really it's just the "what was I thinking?!" fabrics. Still fun to see what you come up with!

Oh but I think you made this one interesting! Love seeing your fabric choices.

Amazing! Love them all but I vote for the “+” (3rd on my screen)

For me it was the 90s and so someone called me Chandler Bing. I had no idea I talked weird. Wicked embarrassing.

This makes me happy! Grew up in coastal New England. Talked like this. Moved to Chicago and everyone thought I was obnoxiously sarcastic. Lots of awkwardness until I broke habit.

Same. Maddening. What a waste.

Love this! I’m planning to make this pattern (full size) soon. Any tips or tricks to share? Should I buy their finishing kit when I buy the pattern?

My family did a SLC-SF Amtrak trip a few years ago! Give yourself a full day to explore Golden Gate Park end to end. All agreed was fave part of trip. And since it’s a stop on the way, take a day in Sacramento to tour Capitol bldg and grounds — lots of art. Enjoy!

I made a quilt like this in a diff colorway that gave effect of stars. I hated making it so much — I became a petulant teen! But yours is WONDERFUL and may inspire me to try this pattern again!

This is all great advice! Also I think there is a diff between muddiness of dye in washwater (solved by color catchers) and contact staining when a fabric sits directly on another when wet and xfers onto. Thats why I toss in another blanket I don’t care about — I think it helps the tumble. But ???

Nice! — love the layout you chose for that fabric! I always wash & dry on warm with lots of color catchers and another basic blanket to even the load. I don’t prewash bc hate to iron yardage. Only time stained was a cheap dark brown fabric and even then it wasn’t awful. I think you’ll be fine.

Nice! I’m convinced!

Ah! I’ve been thinking of doing this for 2025! Would LOVE to see pics of your other months — please post!

You taught me how to make my first quilt! 💕

I went from a Brother to a Janome 8900QCP 6+ yrs ago. The Brother was fine but the Janome is a dream. Fussy about bobbins (get Janome) but otherwise no drama. Routine tune-up once every 2 years. Otherwise I don’t even think about it and it does everything I want.
