I’m so proud of how this Oxbow tote turned out! Just spent the last couple of days working on it, and added an interior zip pocket and a key leash. I attempted a luggage strap but it ended up just a bit too narrow so I opted to make it a slip pocket on the back instead.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

Well that is ridiculous and very disappointing. I love it and your statement behind it is very moving.

I usually get 2 yards for a top or pants, maybe 2.5-3 depending on long sleeves or wide leg pants, 3.5-4 for a jumpsuit/dress. 1.5 for something simple like a jersey tank top or T-shirt.

Trying to push out all the bad and terrifying things happening in our country and focus on sewing. Proud of all of these sweet stars for my Nova Star Quilt.

Just flew through this book. Loved it. If you need a little escapism this week, this is a great read about family dynamics and relationships with money from a wonderful storyteller. #booksky

Somehow it’s been about 4 months since I’ve made a quilt. I just started this scrappy Nova Star Quilt- I’m loving the first block!
