Thank you.

Funky embroidery on an old quilt piece. Margaret Atwood quote: “men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”

It’s all about the Patriarchy today, no matter the news. Everyone in the system loses something.

Disconnect: #AndrewM-W arrested for sharing state secrets but not for abusing girls.

Margaret Atwood quote from The Handmaid Tale.

No idea but to be accurate I should call them “old” instead of antique!

Embroidery on an antique quilt piece. The word say: “be kind. Make art. Read good books. Take no shit.”

Raw edge appliqué. Because I am not very patient, most of my work is this method. Though not like newer collage quilters since mine is pretty much unplanned with no patterns. I let it unfold. The bark quilt was inspired by photos of bark.

Thanks! The whole concept of deconstructing and reconstructing totally caught me off guard. Fascinates me as well.

Funky embroidered sampler on an antique quilt piece. The words say “the game of love. Do not pass. Go.”

Tiny art quilt with an old valentine.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We need more love in the world.

Over 20 years ago, I was given a very clever valentine, which I’ve kept and repurposed more than once.

First, I made it into a tiny art quilt, then use the words to make one of my funky samplers.

Stitching on antique quilt piece, this piece says “only the wind knows where it will carry our dandelion souls“. “By AR Asher. As we continue to resist, we need a little whimsy and inspiration.

I hope all of you have something to buoy you in these times. A place to dream and find wonder as we continue to resist.

I love the notion of a dandelion soul, resilient, tough, and light enough to be blown by the wind.

Quilted pillow of a woman with red hair and a very frazzled and frustrated attitude.. It’s all about showing up no matter how we feel in the moment.

We show up even when we’re frazzled, frustrated, scared, overwhelmed.
We keep resisting in all the ways we can because it works.
We keep linking arms with others.
We all have a part to play.
What’s yours?

Yep, it is aspirational!!

Funky embroidery on an old antique quilt piece. The text says: doing things without knowing how to do the things I am about to do. It’s what we’re all up to at the moment in confronting the crisis in the world.

Seems like, at this moment in history, we are about doing things without knowing how to do the things we are about to do.

Like defending our neighbors, democracy, nonviolence, speaking out, showing up over and over.

Make noise, rise together,rest, repeat.

I went to a wildlife refuge and witnessed 27,000 snow geese. I thought of Minneapolis and all the places that are now having to make a lot of noise, peacefully.

These geese inspired me to make more noise.
