Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

I think the median American position on trans rights is something like “I don’t understand why that man wants to wear a dress but by God it’s his right as an American” which is pretty good, you can work with that

Boy, this was good! Terrific coming-of-age story/murder mystery with world building that I really, really liked. An academy at peak exam time featuring five students who all have their own compelling stories that are slowly revealed over the course of the novel. #booksky #fantasy #reading

WIP Wednesday: laying out the leaves for border number 4. #quiltsky #applique

A wide applique border of green vines and morning glory leaves on rust background fabric. The top edge of the border is cream and pale blue chevrons. Below the leaves are small traditional blocks set on point and a fan block at the corner, all in blues, creams, and pinks.

WIP Wednesday: border number four in the scabrous stage, and I'm trying to get used to wearing a thimble again. So much faster and easier once accustomed, and no risk of running the very fine needle end into my finger. #quiltsky #applique #quilting

A wide border in rust-colored fabric spread on a table. At the top edge of the border are small traditional blocks set on point in blues, creams, and pinks, along the bottom edge are chevrons in alternating light blue and cream. Down the center of the border, green vines are being appliqued in place. Some pieces are basted in place and some are fully sewn. Because some of the vines will be covered with leaves, the appliquer is skipping the parts that will be hidden, so the vines have gaps. On the table above the border is the fabric used for the vines and a pencil case holding applique notions: needles in a fabric scrap, silk threads in various colors, pens and pencils, small scissors, etc.

WIP Wednesday. Getting started on the last border, only 349 steps to go! #quiltsky #applique #quilting

Two wide quilt borders with rust colored background fabric laid out one above the other. Both feature morning glory vines and European robins. The top border is complete; on the bottom border cut out shapes of leaves and flowers and a collage of the bird are pinned in place.

WIP progress pic, Friday 7/10/26. I really like dark backgrounds, but you gotta use light colors so the applique shows well, and that means you have to line them or back them so the colors stay true and the seams don't show, and ugh, just so much extra work! #quiltsky #applique

Wide applique border strip. The background is dark rust; on the left side are small traditional blocks in blues, pink, and cream, along the right edge are cream and blue chevrons. Morning glory vines with pale blue flowers fill the center strip and in the middle of those is a white blob shaped like a bird or a ghost basted in place. This is the lining for a fancy applique bird that will be sewn in place over the blob, and that will keep the dark background from showing under the bird.

WIP Wednesday. I swear this will look refined and elegant like the collage next to it when it's done, but right now this applique is definitely a 100% hot mess birb.

Western bluebird fabric collage resting on an unlit lightbox next to a partially finished applique version. With extra seam allowance all around, the applique is... bulgy, and rather odd looking. Various sewing tools are scattered around the two pieces: needles, a box of pins, scissors, and several spools of thread.

Offhand, I think this is mine: milk glass from my grandmother's collection, still being used as a sugar bowl.

Milk glass sugar bowl, roughly 2.5" tall by 4" across. It's heavy white glass, decorated with embossed mulberries and mulberry leaves, with a scalloped top edge and a small scalloped foot. It's sitting on the counter next to the coffee pot, filled with sweetener packets.
