I don’t think Kevin Kruse knows when I’m having a less than good day, but I’m not sure. Every time my day is icky, he starts a “my man” thread and my day is immediately brightened. And this is a particularly good one! Thank you, Kevin!

Because I figured it was coming l, I screenshotted Lake Ontario on 8/27 and 8/30. What a bunch of cowards at #google by “renaming” it to Lake America. 🙄

August 27 Google Maps shows the proper name for Lake Ontario.

8/30 Google Maps shows the idiotic name, that is NOT the actual name, Lake America.

Walked 6+ miles on a beautiful day in #Boston. Went to the #Mapparium, which is a 30’ diameter stained glass globe that you walk inside of on a bridge. Built in 1933, the countries and borders are what the were then, not now. #localtourism #stainedglass

For those of us who didn’t even remember why vitamin K is an critical shot for a newborn, but knew for a FACT that it is critical for the health of a newborn, this article hammers it home. And it is very hard to read.

I would go so far to say if you are an independent or a Republican you should also call it like it is. Remember, independents are a larger group than Rs or Ds nationally (self reporting- actual reg is about 27%). In several states, independents are bigger group than R or D.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

My #temperaturequilt (s) are almost finished through June. Jan-Jun of ‘26 (left) and 1958. Even not knowing the color scale, you can tell that ‘26 is hotter (pink polka dots are 85-89). High temp in ‘58 was 87 on (7/1). #quilt #quilting #quiltsky #sewing

I had no wrapping paper for baby shower gifts, so I made bags/envelopes. Great way to use scraps. The animal envelope is the same minky fabric as the back of a quilt I made for the same baby. And, of course, the drawstring bag has a naughty label on it. #sewing #giftbags #quiltsky

Sewn minky envelope with button closure and mother of pearl button.

Sewn envelope using Tula Pink fabrics. 2 buttons to close the flap.

Bag made with Robert Kaufman effervescence fabric. Grommets and elastic cord for drawstring.

Label on the drawstring bag that says “I didn’t fuck it up”

Bizarrely, I am friends with a group of “boys” I taught in 6th grade and high schoo - now 38ish. We’ve had a group thread for at least 10 yrs. One of them sent this pic today. His partner made him a calendar of things she thinks are cool about him. Today’s is in this picture. 🥹

I forgot to post this on day 100. #100dayproject Temp quilt through 4/10/26. Outer square is low temp. Inset circle is high temp. Squares with rectangles are average hi/lo for the month. I'm also working on one for the year I was born but I haven't started April. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt

100 blocks of a temperature quilt. High temps are squares. Inset circles are lows.

We all complain about AI, but I have a good story. I'm making a #quilt & ran out of a batik. Neither store I shop could ID the fabric. I asked Copilot. 3 questions & a photo led me to the exact fabric & gave me a list of stores that had it. #quiltsky #quilting #batik

Baby quilt using “Jungle Romp Minky” (Betsey Cavalo/ Henry Glass). Special label from Kylie And The Machine. And that label really does say it all - I did not fuck it up! But I HATE sewing with minky fabric. Everything and I are covered in fuzz. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #sewing #babygift

I taught my friend how to do a bit of long arm quilting on my #Babylock Crown Jewel 2. Working with minky fabric is not easy, but she did a nice job. Wolf fabric is Wolf of Pink Street. Backing is True Colors. She headed off to bind it now! #tulapink #graywork #quiltsky #quilting #quilt

This quilt pattern (along w other patterns) is 20% off from Cotton & Bourbon with the code TheFWord. Her patterns are beautiful and very well written. If you are a quilter and you’re on IG, she’s @cottonandbourbon over there. A % of each goes to immigrantjustice.org #quilting #quiltsky #quilts

My second needle felting project was a detailed aerial view map of my house. I chose pink as a background because it needed more contrast due to all the green of the trees. I got this idea from a Valerie Goodwin class on making maps with fabric. #felting #needlefelting #feltingart #womensart

I made this thing several years ago, but today stuffed the bulbous part with fiberfill wrapped in fleece and stuck it on the heater vent. Light speed timing for the cat to get in it. My neighbor called it a Rasta flying saucer. #quiltsky #sewing #caturday

So glad @quiltlovinlisa.bsky.social inspired me to pull out a quilt that I quit in 2022. I’ve now finished the top&bottom rows and the 2nd and 2nd to last rows. The middle 3 are single rows. I assume I’m sewing blocks together after I finish all blocks. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt

My daughter suggested that instead of making a temperature quilt, I should make a quilt with a color for each book I read of a certain genre. In theory, an excellent idea. In reality, if I assigned red to any thriller/ murder book, I would have a big red quilt. #quiltsky #quilting
