I’m not perfect, I make mistakes, like not voting against Trump the first go around. The problem was that I stayed home & didn’t vote at all. But I learned from my mistake & am doing better. I speak out every day for freedom and democracy. These 32 blocks aren’t perfect; the next 32 will be better.🏳️‍🌈

I received this beautiful gift today. It made me consider how we survive today’s world in the United States, one stitch at a time…each day we get up, we speak truth, we stand up, and we fight for democracy.

Learning to Log Cabin and considering how far we’ve come from community…today I see more hate than love so I’m creating a quilt of many colors. Love is love and you deserve the freedom to marry an adult you love and loves you back. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Building up a yarn stash for the winter. Lots of knitting will be in my future!

More spinning to keep me knitting through the winter…

Sometimes you just have to find one thing that makes you smile…today, this is that one thing.. I’m in love with this yarn spun from Hello Yarn Raven’s Wing fiber from my August subscription shipment. I loved the deep moody colors as I was spinning it and today the finished yarn makes me happy.

Another supported spindle! A productive fidget!

Spun up this Raven’s wing Bluefaced Leicester wool top from Hello Yarn over the weekend on my Schacht flat iron wheel. It’s so soft and squishy! Might be my favorite spin yet!

2 oz of Falkland wool spun up…I’ll finish the other half and create a 2 ply. Will probably be fingering or sport when all is said and done. #helloyarn #besotted #eew6.1 #spinningwool #fiberjoy

Attempting to learn how to spin wool on a Russian spindle. I think I’m starting to catch on but there is a lot more to learn.

Fall is my favorite season…I love waking up and enjoying a latte under a cozy blanket with my pups. Rest and relajado are importante especially in these days of democracy under fire. Watching @laurakampf.bsky.social live as she talks about being a creative. Is this a path I want to traverse?

Refurbishing this beautiful Singer 27 treadle sewing machine built in 1899. This is a reminder of the women who came before me who contributed to the world around them. A reminder of the women who were not allowed to leave their abusive spouses, have bank accounts, or vote. #NeverGoingBack

Been getting some knitting in so I have some new fall sweaters.. have 3 more sweaters that are nearly complete. 😁 given the level of inflation this is really helping me out. Thank goodness for the stash! 🧶

I have no words because I still feel all the lies Bush told us before he started the war in Iraq. Therefore I give an unrelated picture with hopes that you will seek out truth and take breaks for self care. Even in darkness we can find light…we just have to look harder.

My first time starching fabric before a project. This was for the Dizzy class by Kelly Ashton at KCRQF last week.

BleueSkye @allthingsfiber.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Did a mini quilt-a-long a couple weeks ago. I’m starting to get an itch to spin again but for now quilting helps me miss my grandmother a little less. I can’t imagine what she’d think of the world today. She was lucky to graduate college as a librarian when most women didn’t get the opportunity.

BleueSkye @allthingsfiber.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

The world has been too much and I’ve needed time to refresh so I can return strong. Quilting has cleared my head and given me space to support those around me. Needing time doesn’t mean we’ve given up or stopped speaking it means we are preparing for the next battle.

BleueSkye @allthingsfiber.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Tonight I cut 3 quilt blocks…ready to be sewn tomorrow. Taking a class to learn something new helps me sit my brain down for a little while and in this day and age I need to appreciate those moments. Tomorrow it’s back to the fight against fascism.

BleueSkye @allthingsfiber.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Trump’s post is complete and utter BS! Kansans I know who live in western Kansas attended this meeting. None of them happy about the state of this country! Trump and his cronies are simply lying!

BleueSkye @allthingsfiber.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

It’s important to know your limit so you can rest and get back out to do more. I try to find ways to stop my brain from ruminating on what’s happening in the world so I can walk away refreshed and ready to go. Learning new skills occupies brain cells. Today it was cutting fabric for a quilt.

BleueSkye @allthingsfiber.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

This world is full of hate & CPAC seems to be the breeding ground for fascism. WTH carrying a chainsaw? And all those salutes? It’s taking a toll but I’m not giving up. This afternoon I took a brief respite to try some quilt blocks & practice 1/4” seams. #quilting #BernetteYaYaHanB79 #StayStrong

No one elected Elon Musk! This is a tech billionaire perpetrating a coup. Call your elected officials and tell them to fire Elon Musk.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they shut down this agency anyway. They care about keeping women barefoot and pregnant but not one bit about any child after it’s born. #IWillNotBeSilent #LGBTQIARightsAreHumanRights #EndRacism #FightFascism

Loss is such a difficult feeling to grapple with… my grandmother was an amazing quilter. While sewing makes me feel closer to her, I miss her and wish she were here to teach me. #BernetteB79 #grief #LoveIsLove #LearningNewSkills #FindingJoyInAWorldGoneMad

America is finding itself on the wrong side of history supporting hate and racism. Despicable action by the criminal and his shadow president.

Boycotting the 2025 Super Bowl to show my support for #ENDRACISM. I hope the players will not just take a knee but walk off the field completely! #BoycottSuperBowl We must stand up to the fascist!

This knit has been so enjoyable! So much so that I’ve ordered a second kit in purples. Let’s hope the criminal doesn’t tariff the rest of the world. He’s already mucked up my weaving class kits which come from Canada. Have his supporters figured out he wants to be a dictator forever yet? #Westknits

Definitely going to be a learning curve! Need to do some research getting the fiber off using a diz. #fiberarts #blendingfiber

New reading material to build my faith while I knit, spin, crochet, and sew. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is such an inspiration to speak the word and the implications of the word with bravery. #Mercy #Faith #Growth #WhatJesusWouldDo

The only people who owe the American people an apology are the criminal and his hoodlums. Every single word she said is biblically supported! Every. Single. Word.

I tried multiple times to block the inaugurated criminal on Instagram to no avail. I should not be forced to see his creepy and hate filled posts on any platform. There once was a day that blocking someone meant they didn’t show up in any searches.

Spun up this beautiful single while I thought of all the trans folk in the US. They deserve so much better. Please support your local and national Trans organizations and above all Don’t Out Anyone! Single in Maya and Roving in Yaya from Chameleon Fiber Co. Not an exact flag match but inspires me.

I finally broke down and picked up the kit for a scarf I fell in love with in 2023 when I picked up my first copy of Handwoven. With 45 hell bent on starting World War III, I need to find at least a little joy wherever I can. What are you doing to find a little happiness this year? #ShiftingShadows

It is up to us to live our best lives and speak our truth to the world. To do all that we can to correct systemic issues and call out the falsehoods leaders use to rewrite history and brainwash us into thinking their lies are truth. Women of all races have power! Let our voices be heard! 💙

BleueSkye @allthingsfiber.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Let your beauty shine bright in this dark world. Never let their hate take that away from you! For me, the darker it gets the brighter the fiber I choose. It helps me rise to a new day with a little more hope that my voice can and will make a difference. #RiseUp💙

The more I can create on my own the less I need to depend on the Walmarts, Musks and Zuckerbergs of this new America. Now I’m learning to weave for my pups. Collars, dog leashes, and harnesses. I expect a learning curve but well worth it. I can do this!
