Quiltcraft

The cradle Catholic in me calls out to St. Francis, St. Rita, St Barnabas. Pray for humanity, saints of peace.

Image shows an app logo of a beer glass with the number 2500 over it.

Shoutout to Fattey Beer in Kenmore, where they just poured the 2500th beer I’ve logged on Untappd. I had a London Gentleman ESB from Lucky Hare in Oswego. And it was tasty, my friends!

Sláinte!

Stunning!

Crazy quilt made of many different prints and colors

Well, I truly wouldn’t dismiss all of Joann’s stock as crap. I’ve made quilts for years from their materials.
It’s just economic reality for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I will have to really curtail my quilting hobby if materials now run upwards of $170 per quilt.

Small blue and white quilt of mountains and volcanoes

I was trying to learn to piece equilateral triangles but wrecked all the points of my mountains. So they are now peaks shrouded in violent storms ❄️ or exploding volcanoes. 🌋#quiltsky #patchwork #quilting

Thanks for the post. I didn’t realize I could have my settings require alt text. Much better than trying to remember!

There is a LOT of reporting on IMLS right now, but it's being done by people who know what it is. The DOE being dismantled is overshadowing this and that's being done INTENTIONALLY.

But anyway, DOGE is in the IMLS offices right now destroying it.

Say goodbye to interlibrary loans + more.

Gorgeous work, with so many storytelling references! Cinderella’s carriage is my favorite element ❤️

Played #Chicken! at Mortalis Brewing in Avon NY.

All of my chickens were eaten by foxes, but the beer was divine. #board games #bgstats

Rematch! 🍺🐣

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Eliminating the Institute of Museum and Library Services is just one more way of coming for the most vulnerable people in our country. #IMLS

I miss the old days when you could ignore political news for *hours* at a time without finding out the world ended while you took the kids to soccer practice

I’ve started to explore it in the last couple weeks. So grateful to see how many folks are quilting (and crafting & creating in general) as a way of building community.

It’ll be about 36” square, for a wall hanging. It was just the right size for a shorter project.

Patchwork quilt

Crafting is my new method for disassociating from current events.

New crazy quilt taking shape

Loved this one! I just finished reading the first three in this series but my library doesn’t have book #4 yet.

I’m on book three of the YA series Edinburgh Nights by TL Huchu, which has a real Rivers of London vibe.

Reading The Jasmine Throne / by Tasha Siri, and listening to The Girl in Red / by Christina Henry.
