Anybody wanna gift me 151 mil? (the extra million is for my retirement)

Black and white cat sleeping with his head resting on the arm of a green and white monstera print armchair.

This guy cuddled with me for a little bit this morning and then fell asleep waiting for @pipewrangler.bsky.social to get up.

A grey and red fabric stand with pockets for sewing accessories. Pattern shows the name "Sew Organized"

Finished up this little stand this morning before work. I bought the kit at the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild's Mall in the Hall event last year (basically a huge quilty garage sale that supports the guild and a few charities).

Quick finish and so cute! #quiltsky #sewing

Beautiful!

Yes! I dug out some solid black already. Thinking an inch or two of that then maybe something to bring out the orange. Pumpkins maybe.

Love the idea of a black binding too!

A Halloween panel sits slightly off center in a quilt top. It's surrounded by hexagons made from repeats of the same fabric.

Finished up the first stay of this One Block Wonder panel quilt today. Right now it's approx 52 by 62 and I'd like to add between 15 and 20 inches to the width and the height. Would love suggestions for borders if anyone has any.

I think I made them nervous with similar pointing a week or so ago. 😅

Really beautiful work!

John Green's 'Looking for Alaska' among 14 more books 'Moms for Liberty' group wants pulled from Fauquier schools The local chapter of the activist group Moms for Liberty is asking Fauquier County Public Schools to pull from school library shelves 14 more books the group considers too sexually

Ask the people over at Mom's for Liberty I imagine you don't have the same definition. www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/john-gr...

I'm sympathetic but my point stands: who gets to decide?

And should it really be a blanket rule for all kids all schools all whatever?

A quolt hanging sleeve where the print looks like people waving at a departing ship.

Finally found a use for this weird vintage border print I bought a decade ago. Wonder if I'll be the only weirdo at this year's quilt show that fussy cut the fabric for a sleeve. 😅

A black and white cat sits in a quilt piled up on a sewing table while it's being bound.

This guy is going to be disappointed when I hit the next corner of this binding. #shopkitty #quiltsky #starstorm #vfwquilts

A teal pyramid shapped pin cushion sits on a desk. Has a little yellow beak and beaded comb plus little beaded feet that just dangle uselessly in the air.

A friend gifted me this pin cushion after I helped her finish a old quilt top. Those little dangly beaded feet just crack me up.

The problem is always this: who gets to decide what's offensive? I read Breakfast of Champions as a freshman and I turned out fine. Plenty of the wrong sorts of people want that banned from schools.

This one isn't far off. 😂

Black and white cat laying on a carpeted shelf near the ceiling and looking at a camera.

I feel like @jacksongalaxy.bsky.social would be impressed with the amount of cat furniture we've bought/made for this cat.

It is for me that's for sure! 😅

Will I get this book form the library before a whole ass movie gets filmed and released? Time will tell. 😂

Just finished The Wonder by Emma Donoghue. The narrator for the audio book did a spectacular job. I haven't loved a book this much in a while.

Adorable! 🐈

Oh yay! I hope you have as much fun with it as I am. Ive been thinking about making a one block wonder for YEARS and it's exactly as much fun as I thought it would be.

A Halloween quilt panel surrounded by hexagons made of repeating triangles cut from six repeats of the same panel.

I am so pumped about this one block wonder. Gonna have to figure out some borders for size but really loving it so far. #quiltsky #oneblockwonder #Halloween

Lovely! That pale pink is such a surprising and excellent choice.

Got a new quilt cut out and started sewing yesterday. Been thinking about a One Block Wonder for ages and found a cool Halloween panel when I was down in Paducah for the quilt show.

A quilt on a longarm frame. Big star with lots of lime green and teal plus a big orange and white stripe.

Another quilt on the frame this weekend. Not sure how I want to quilt it so I'll probably baste it and then spend most of the day procrastinating. #quiltsky #starstorm #vfwquilts

Quilt on a longarm with cream blue fusia and gold squares on a black background. Dark Grey quilting waves around the colored squares.

Got my second quilt of the day on the frame. Really digging the texute from these somewhat structured wavy lines. #quiltsky

Came and sat next to me just to fall asleep immediately. #catsky

Should you let pets sleep next to you? (Does it even matter what the experts say?) Lots of pet owners let their animals sleep on the bed with them, even though it's probably disturbing their sleep.

In fact, it doesn't matter. But also Shop Kitty is a sweet angel that would never disturb my sleep. 😇
