Sometimes dark teal can be such a warm color--an unexpected touch for the holiday season. Or maybe you want to use it against the warm browns and golds of autumn. What do you think? #etsy #tablemats #quilted #holidays

2019: Trump was impeached for withholding Ukraine's aid for a political favor. 2026: Trump may have colluded with Russia to drop Ukraine’s air defenses, all to lower gas prices before a midterm. Both started with a phone call from Trump. Time to investigate.

Money is flooding the midterm elections in unprecedented amounts, including Elon Musk’s reported $366 million to help GOP candidates. It all shows the need for an effective ban on such spending from federal contractors.

Trump wants you to “pretend he’s on the ballot.” So, A vote for a Republican is a vote for: The Iran War $4.23 gas in Minnesota $6 heating oil in Maine $6.49 diesel in Michigan $1,000 a month groceries in Florida $1,800 a month healthcare premiums in Iowa $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%

What a nice surprise. My quilt "variation on dawn-VI" just sold from my show at the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, MA. Of course, I will miss it. #artcomplexmuseum #artquilt #quiltvisions #quilt #wallhanging
Variation on dawn-VI is a contemporary art quilt with the yellow sun rising into the sky with its many shades of lavender and orange. The hills in horizon are the rich dark blues just before sunrise while the nearby land has soft shades of blues and teals. #quilts #original #art #portfolio #pieced

Hope is not a sentimental optimism that things will somehow work out; hope is the subversive conviction that injustice and death will not have the final word and acting on that belief. Hope is not passive waiting it's active persistence. Hope prays, peacefully protests, weeps, and keeps showing up.
