It looks fantastic!

Hooray, it’s back!

Adorable!

Anybody know what happened to the QuiltSky feed? It has disappeared from the list of feeds.
(Not the hashtag — that’s still functioning.)

Two navy and white socks with Scottish Darning patches in blue.

The navy sole of a sock is stretched across a mending loom (a wooden disc and metal plate with hooks that flip back and forth.) The weaving in progress is a plaid of blue, white, and orange. Loom by AlexonVer on Etsy; thread and very long darning needle by Sue Spargo.

Booklet cover: Sock Mending Guide by Holli Yeoh White paper with black text, and a photo of a pale hand holding up a striped sock with a blue and yellow woven patch.

Summer is for hand sewing. As a change from EPP, today I learned two ways to darn socks! Thanks to @ninetenpub.bsky.social for the instruction book.

Congratulations, and happy quilting!

yeah like, we can disagree on rent control and taxes and shit but basic human rights need to be a bright line and if they're not, then i'm not spending any time with you

White text on blue background tavalen (poster’s name) disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and "differently abled" and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. activism framed around "we are just as CAPABLE" means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around "we are just as WORTHY" is fundamental to radical compassion.

And then there's "a rich person said a thing that they asked chatgpt, which answered with shameless bigotry: maybe the fascists have a point! p.s. young people are doing something and i don’t like it."

Oh yeah, EPP is a looong term project for sure. I have 4 different ones on the go right now 😁

Well done!

That’s such great fabric!

I love your fabrics! What are you piecing?

Booooo.

A double-sided quilt is no easy thing. It looks great - good job!

Congratulations!

It looks fantastic!

Journalism is about objectivity, not neutrality. Neutral "journalism" is a canard.

Neutrality and objectivity are not the same. Objectivity is a slave to facts in pursuit of the truth. Neutrality is the art of presenting fact and fiction as equal.

Neutrality evelates lies. It's de facto bias.

“There is nothing inherently left wing about democracy,” he says. “Nor does the left have a monopoly on fighting corruption, holding power accountable and making sure companies pay for the social and environmental damages they cause.”
