Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Going to the Houston International Quilt Festival in October! I didn’t think it would get in because it’s been turned down 3x before from other shows. Just goes to show ya. You never know. “Bloom”, 63 x 41 inches 5592

Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Hey, I wrote a post over on Substack full of studio tips to make quilting easier on the body and Nancy had this most excellent set up to share: bonus is seeing the Felon in Chief’s 34 indictments being read out by Alvin Bragg.

Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Hey! I’ve decided to start a Substack . . It’s free of course (for now 🙃) Just a place where I can write more detailed accounts of what it’s like making art in a world increasingly hostile to artists. So if you’re interested, head on over and give it a subscribe laurashawquilts.substack.com 1392

Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 27/03/2025I’m doomscrolling but is it really? I mean the doom is real. So wouldn’t it be more accurate to say I’m keeping informed? Here’s a shot of my sewing room, where I go to escape. 3450
Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Threw my back out during a zoom exercise class this morning but I’m still gonna table-baste this quilt. ‘Pushing through’ is the theme of my life right now. #undeterred #neverthelessshepersisted 3510

Reposted by Laura Shaw QuiltsJohn Scalzi @scalzi.com · 13/02/2025Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them. 839198543633

Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Thank you for covering this! As an artist working in a medium that’s often considered ‘craft’ it feels so good to know the art world has our backs. 16214

Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Woo hoo!! Great news! The SAQA board voted unanimously to pull the entire show out of AQS (see previous post for details) And the International Quilt Museum has acquired my quilt for their permanent collection! We all could use some good news. Thank you everyone for making your voices heard! 1822218

Laura Shaw Quilts @laurashawquilts.bsky.social · 29/01/2025My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year.
