Since the election I’ve learned something: even sweet, churchgoing women in their 80s aren’t offended by words like “cocksucker” when used in reference to Trump. That’s not crude…it’s a vital sign. People aren’t shocked. They’re done.

Pulled Funds Threaten Historic Quilts Visit the post for more.

Help the #JERPano document critical threats to public history.

Like the withdrawal of a $460,000 federal grant to conserve more than 3,000 African-American-made quilts (c1860s), which, without preservation, now risk irreversible decay.

Annie Andrews Launch Video: "Unafraid" YouTube video by Annie Andrews

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Home Missouri needs you. Join the movement.

You know how Mike Johnson ran unopposed over and over again in Louisiana and is now Speaker of the House?

We aren’t doing that anymore. I’m the Executive Director of Blue Missouri and we are the organization that funds Democrats in the reddest and toughest districts.

Join us! bluemissouri.org

My sign for the May Day protests was my best work yet, IMO. Go ahead and sing it. You know you want to. #resist

Sometimes I just need to make something from other people’s patterns. This adorable teapot is by Jo Westfoot (crafty nomad) and is part of a whole series of awesome blocks by several British designers and I can’t wait to name my finished quilt “Please Adopt Me, UK.” #quiltsky

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Excited to teach my Accordiin Variations class here in a couple of weeks! Though it does mean cutting kits, which is tedious. #quiltsky #accordionsewnhsts

An unplanned disassembly of thirteen blocks that I decided needed a different fabric in the middle. Good times, but made more fun with my new razor sea ripper I got from @bucklebee.bsky.social

A quilt depicting a dozen fried eggs with poofy yolks on a dark grey background. There is a fabric “craft tag” attached to it that says “The Price of Democracy $3.65 by Pam Brisse” A close up of the front of the tag that says The Price of Democracy $3.65 by Pam Brisse A closeup of the back of the tag which reads “Average price of a dozen eggs in November 2024 - the excuse used to vote against a woman president”

My quilt, “The Price of Democracy”, a statement about how some people used the price of eggs as an excuse not to vote for a woman president in the year 2024, knowing that the other choice would try to destroy democracy here and abroad.

Bought the fabric to make masks in 2020. A friend asked for a bit of it and surprised me with this 🤣

I was really hoping that I could throw this pin cushion away and never use it again, but something possessed me to keep it. So here we are. Using it again. #quiltsky #resist

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

My quilt guild’s tree for a local library festival of trees based on Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many Colors” children’s book because Dolly is the queen. 60+ little coats sewn by the membership topped off by Dolly’s big personality. It was the talk of the decorating night.. @realdollyparton.bsky.social
