Hope you stay safe!

Quiltcon is so much fun. It takes a full day to see all of the amazing quilts!

Thanks!

A small quilt made of pairs of bright colors with a random curve sewn into each block. The binding is Seagram green. The quilt is laying on a wooden deck.

Finished the mini improv curves quilt and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. I even entered it in my local quilt show coming up in March. #quilt #sewing

If you find yourself spiraling in negative thoughts, please take a second to look at this cat blep and take a few deep breaths.

This is why I, at 42 years old, wear orthopedic shoes around my house.

I was 2 minutes into wrestling with a 84”x84” quilt on my tiny machine when the immense regret of not sending it out for quilting hit me.

Look for “longarm quilting services” in your area. Sometimes local quilt shops offer them, or know of people who do. You will provide the quilt top and the backing, the longarm quilter usually provides the batting.

A screenshot of a news email showing two extremely Caucasian adult men with the headline, “Newly elected NC Republicans move to end use of DEl policies in two agencies” and caption, “The announcements by the N.C. Republican elected officials come after President Donald Trump took executive action to end DEl policies in the federal government.”

You mean these guys who look like they think mayo is too spicy don’t like DEI programs? How fucking shocking.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

A large tabby cat is asleep on a John Cena fleece blanket.

Apparently being locked in the bedroom for 19 hours didn’t traumatize him, since after 3 hours of freedom he demanded we get into bed so he can lay on his John Cena blanket again.

Unfortunately the company told me (at 12:30pm) that they weren’t going to be able to come out today. I was not about to be locked in a room with those furry demons for another night, so I spent 3 hours just getting all the powder off the floors. I did more squats in one day than the rest of my life

That’s beautiful!

At least I know the fire department can get here within 5 minutes.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was tempted to go upstairs to my neighbor’s apartment and be like hey can you hug me I’m in chaos right now.

In the meantime, my cats and I have been locked in my bedroom overnight so they don’t come in contact with the powder. They’re rebelling, and I got 3-4 hours of sleep between their noise and nausea (presumably from the adrenaline crash). I just want to sob.

I called a local company and I’m hoping they can come out today to help clean up, and then maintenance can put in a new dishwasher. I’m lucky that I currently have the means to pay people who know what they’re doing and have the proper PPE for the job. /2

Last night,after the insanity of the day,I had an electrical fire (my dishwasher decided to die spectacularly). The fire department came very quickly and confirmed the fire was out. But the mess from the fire extinguisher was too much for me to handle last night, and it was making my throat hurt. /1

That’s beautiful! And the quilting choice is perfect.

A black and white cat is laying on two folded up quilts on a table beside a sewing machine. The wall behind her has various quilting rulers, scissors, and rotary cutters hanging on it. The cat looks like she gives no fucks.

There are only two quilts in this apartment I don’t want her to lay on, and she absolutely knows that.

Norovirus spreads via the fecal-oral route. Don’t eat poop. Wash your hands after you use the bathroom and before you eat. Hand sanitizer doesn’t kill norovirus.

This is so perfect omg
