jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 18/08/2026The neighborhood feral cat that we adopted last year, with the crooked tail and damaged back leg I named Ojo, frolicked with a young local girl this spring. Lo and behold, kittens! Lionita's human dad tracked us down and Salvador is now part of the family. Lucky us! 🍀🤞❤️🐈⬛🌈 040
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Finished my sunflower quilt and using it as a table topper. It's so bright and fun to look at! #Quilting 🧵✂️ #Sunflowers🌻 2241
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Bought this amazing perennial last year at Butterfly Effect Farm in Westport, Massachusetts. Love the orchid like flowers and pretty pinkish bracts. #GardeningFeed🌱 011
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 12/07/2026#booksky 💙📚 Great writer! A thriller and true page turner, filled with descriptive characters and scenes. 0100

jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 28/06/2026#booksky 📚💙⌛ I can't shake this protagonist, and I don't like her. This novel opened my mind to the 'trad wife' movement and what some people are grasping for. 120
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 28/06/2026#booksky 📚💙 Very enjoyable and well written book about Miss Bessie Coleman, our first black female aviator from over 100 years ago. Carole Hopson writes with passion about this courageous woman who lived a life of her own choosing, following no one but her own desire to fly. Much respect! 050
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 25/05/2026🧵✂️ I'm joining my first quilt guild, #RIMAMQG, and this was their first block of the month challenge: 'All sorts o' strip happens'. Frustrated with a problem (dealing with an elder's care), I decided to take my mind off of that and see where this challenge would take me. I like it! 😊 4280
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 25/04/2026🌱 My rhubarb is SO red this year, no doubt due to the big freeze we got in New England this past winter. Cooked green rhubarb isn't as attractive, though tastes the same, as ruby red or pink tinged, and looks matters. I'm dreaming of an iced rhubarb souffle with strawberry sauce...😋 030
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Had fun rearranging my arrow blocks. I'm thinking I will go with the medallion look, filling the center with a black square. Thoughts? 🧵✂️ #modernquilting #quiltsky 2200
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 18/03/2026📚💙#booksky I learned to sail in college and have met many a friendly sailor, including those who have lived on/with the ocean. Incredible. 060

jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 27/01/2026💙📚 A historical novel focusing on the Dutch women painters as well as societal classes in the 1600's. Thought provoking! 020
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 13/01/2026🍽️Johnny Cake! I added a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, but not sure it was needed. I melted the butter, whisked in the milk, then all the dry ingredients were whisked in. Baked at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes. The texture is dense and delicious. 041

jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Some of my amaryllis bulbs producing. They spend the summer out in the weed bed, most of the winter in the cellar stairwell, then in the southern exposure windows for spring. 🌱☺️ 120
jmcgi.bsky.social @jmcgi.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Living in a basement apartment on Comm Ave in Boston, winter 1982, I crocheted this hat. Bought the yarn at Woolworth's around the corner on Harvard Ave. Who'd have thought we would both still be useful this many decades later? 061
