Thanks! Now to try going the other direction 🙃

First try at this #quilting motif. More practice needed, but super happy with this as a start! #longarmquilting #freemotionquilting #maker #modernquilt

Quilt squares up close to show the quilting, or stitching, that I've been practicing.

Practicing my quilting after fixing the longarm. I have also been calling my representatives to demand accountability... even if it doesn't help, it makes me feel like I'm doing something. Aarrrgghh! #quilting

This!

I did! I left the computer on and youtube live going for the whole 24+ hour speech. I didn't listen to the whole thing, but got lots of bits here and there. Was hoping there would be a line of Dems ready to do the same thing when he finished.

Who's up next after Booker? @senatedems25.bsky.social

Hope you don't have to wait too much longer.

Are military people okay with all this? Will they uphold their oaths to the constitution? Jeffries better find a backbone to help support and protect our military.

We should organize Co-Ops to buy up the farmland before Wall Street does.

Yeah... WHY? YOU are the one to do something!! Now you're asking us as if we didn't elect you to do this job. Where are the articles of impeachment? Where are the arrest warrants for breaches in National Security? If you never hold them accountable, they will NEVER abide by the law.

Frustrated. Both by the current regime, and my back. I'm trying to walk more (need to move more!), but as soon as I stand up, my back starts screaming. I'm doing 2 different sets of exercises to help too, but they're not helping. It's been like this forever and I just need a break from feeling it.

Thanks Marcia! 🥰

Thanks! 😊

Thanks!! I'm really happy with it!

This #quiltpattern test was a success! Just have to layout a cover for it, then a print run! I'll have these booklets available on my blog soon! #quilt #modernquilting #maker

Oh... poor baby. 😹

It's #caturday and Taz says hello.

Close up of a hand holding two stitched hexie pieces from an English Paper Piecing project. The top hexie is blue with polka dots and the bottom hexie is yellow.

I put the wrong sides of the hexies together and do a ladder stitch -starting in the middle, work to one side, then to the other, then back to the middle (double stitched).

Sew cute!! 😻 Have you tried sewing them with wrong sides together?

This is always on my playlist too!

Why not STOP THEM FROM SHOOTING rather than worry about the ammunition? @schumer.senate.gov VOTE NO to CTR. Why are you plugging your ears to what the constituents want?? Who is paying you off???

Deplorable.

Just try. Just a little - please! Make them own this. Don't legitimize their plans by playing diplomatically. Being submissive and not speaking out against this authoritarian regime (even censuring those that do) makes you a big part of this current rise of fascism.

Hope you feel better soon!

I get those when my iron storage is low (ferritin). It's something Dr.s don't usually check or think is important... but I believe is important to watch!

This is the last block in my #quiltpattern test. I get to start piecing all the blocks together tonight! Planning to print these once this test is done. #quiltprocess #quilt #quiltsky

Just heard: Tesla Chainsaw Massacre and can't think of a better name for this horror show!

The heart doesn't mean I like this fact... but that I can totally relate! 😅
