I'm here for joy, not doom, not politics. Reader, editor, quilter, hermit, ignores most dms (but not from Maggie because she has Linus stickers). If you complain about entire generations of humans, I will block you.

And what if we took the punishment we often give difficult women - the gossip, the banishing, the denials, the roadblocks - what if we gave those to harmful men instead? sh1.sendinblue.com/mk/sc/0Enhm0...

Hot take, but as a parent I actually don't think parents should be able to say "I don't want my kids reading that in school"

Tula bag update: I've cut out the heavy stabilizer, the foam, and the non woven stabilizer. All that's left is the 3,012 pieces of lining fabric and woven stabilizer. 😂 I told my friend when she chose this pattern: there are a gazillion pieces. Cutting them all will take a long time. I was right.

I'm making Sallie Tomato's Tula Tote as a Mahjong bag for a friend. I've successfully cut out all the main and contrast fabric pieces, so what' left is interfacing, lining fabric, foam and stabilizer, which is about 8,493 more pieces. 😂

Every time I see the Stolen Neighbors quilt it makes me cry. Let's create a country where quilters quilt to keep people warm and share beauty and love - and not because we have to protest the actions of our own government. Elections are coming. Vote like your life depends on it.

$50 down! Two hours left to raise another $150, which will force us to add $200 in matching funds, and go to help keep a disabled grandma and 2-y/o grandson housed!

All right, local needs early tonight, for a reason. Regina is a disabled grandma raising her 2-y/o grandson. She is $880 short on her September rent [and she should be spending this week raising October's not worrying about eviction].

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

update: 11 days. An estimated 11 days to get a small parcel from WI to WA. That's a sad average of about 180 miles per day. Have we gone back to using ponies? @repricklarsen.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov #FixTheUSPS
A super depressing USPS tracking screen showing a parcel that started in Fox Lake, WI on Sept 15 before 8 a.m. estimated to arrive at my home on the west coast on Saturday the 26 - 11 days later.
I'm rural. We don't get mail on Saturdays. So it'll be Monday the 28th.

@repricklarsen.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov This is the latest update, which I feel compelled to add because it seems so completely unlikely to be true. #FixTheUSPS
a screenshot of USPS tracking showing the shipping label created before 8 a.m. Sept 15, the parcel received and "package acceptance pending" on the 16th at 2:18 p.m. It's Sunday the 20th. There are no additional tracking updates.

Proof of completion! The darling's name is Ivy Rayne. The fabric line is named after a nearby (to me) body of water. The quilting in the rows is (supposed to be) alternating rows of ivy and wind/clouds/rain. The raindrops on the binding all fall down! The backing fabric is the same as the binding.
Baby quilt with plum, cream and teal batiksclose up show my attempts at wind cloud rain and vine-y plant stitchesright side of the quilt binding demonstrating the the rain drops in the fabric are falling from top to bottom.

Ok. The directional binding is on the baby quilt. I ripped out a row that had railroad tracks. It was a lot of work to rip out that row, putting to rest my fear that if a thread got snagged, the whole row would pull out. Gotta re-quilt that row and then calling it done.
