On our watch, with our money, the gov't is paying private contractors to detain humans, deny them due process, and medical care. Paying other humans to beat up, murder, anyone who disagrees with them? I wonder what they will do with those detention centers after the immigrant roundup is complete?

My first finish in 2026. No. 21 32" x 23" Small but packs a powerful punch. I love the organic shapes of the little arches! #quiltsky #modernquilt #halfsquaretriangles

Speaking of "...suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars [K. Noem referring to immigrants]..." how much are we paying ICE for human trafficking?

Truth matters. The distance is vast between what I saw and what you (k noem) said I saw.

Someone else, mel beach, offered a trade on her IG post. I wanted some, so I made some to trade with her. Had so much fun, I lept going. The extras are on my bulletin board.

I spent an afternoon this week making ATCs (altered trading cards). It was fun to revisit leftovers from quilts past. I also love that my succulents volunteered to host a photography session with the cards! #atc #art #quilt #miniquilt #worrydolls #succulents #queenvictoriaagave #play

Dark cloud in the distance looks like a mountain top peaking up through the saturated pink and orange clouds, but it’s not. Taken with iPhone through my binoculars. #austin #sunset

My garden spider disappeared from the center of her web. I found her here, with her two lovely egg sacks. #gardenspider

No 17. 84.5" x 84.5" So nice to have this one finished after a few false starts. You can read more about this one on my blog if you are curious. #modernquilt #quilt #Halfsquaretriangles #art #artquilt #minimalism #handstitching #quiltsky

But it was foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor who captured the larger story of Trump’s speech.
β€œA senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, β€œβ€˜This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”

No. 16. 50.5" x 40". It's a piece about privacy, or the lack of privacy, from a slightly humorous point of view. Original pattern, machine pieced, appliqued paper fish #halfsquaretriangles #koi #artquilt #modernquilt #modernhouse #mistyfuse #SAQAart #paper #paperart #quilt #privacy #quiltsky
