I got a late start on the quilt along by the National Museum of the American Indian. Patterns were free online and easy to follow. Shout-out to the designers. The last block pattern releases Oct 1st. I will post the finished piece when completed. @smithsonian.bsky.social #quiltsky

I am quite pleased with myself
An impressive debut issue of Killed By Junkshop Glam, a zine dedicated to the forgotten bands and singles of '70s glam rock. As bright and loud as the music itself, the zine offers a fun primer to glam history, as well as a deep-dive for those of us who have just toe-dipped the genre (via T. Rex, Bowie, Queen, etc).

Today was the last day for picking strawberries. I walked way out in the field where the weeds were tall but found so many gorgeous ones! I'm always a bit sad when it's over. Thanks to Nature's Finest Foods in Oshkosh ❤️🍓

Finished my "Forbidden Words" piece. I didn't attend Quiltcon but was so proud of all the fiber artists that had created their art quilts to protest against the administration removing hundreds of words and phrases from multiple websites and federal agencies. #quiltsky #forbiddenwords #artquilts

My Fiber Artisans group challenge is Bright Side Dark Side this year. I have always been captivated by the night sky. There are 4 hidden constellations (one towards each corner) and tons of hand stitched stars. #quiltsky

Best art/craft thrift store find ever! And yes I know it wasn't made for scissors BUT it's perfect for my Guggenheins which are hella heavy and super sharp. I made the weighted pin cushion with chopped walnuts and a couple heavy coasters. The best part is the label from my daughter! #quiltsky

My Great Grandmother moved from Germany to the U.S. with her parents when she was 10 years old. This is a double pillow case that she made for her wedding night. It must have been used for a long time ❤️ I added the doily which I believe she created. Thanks to my cousin for passing these on..

The story behind this quilt from 2016 that I felt the need to repost today - inarticulatequilter.wordpress.com/2… #Quilt #Quilting #SesameStreet #PBS #CorporationForPublicBroadcasting
Colorful Sesame Street-themed quilt. The design resembles a Mondrian painting, with blocky area of color set off by black lines. Several blocks have appliquéd eyes of characters from early 70s Sesame Street including Big Bird, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, Count von Count, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie. At the top right, a long, thin block has appliquéd letters like the Sesame Street sign

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

My fav Levi's. BUT the pockets are ridiculous. About 2-3 inches deep. Good for nothing. I hate putting my phone in the back pocket so I added one for it on the front and sewed the useless ones shut with embroidery thread. She's got a lot of hand mending on her ❤️ #quiltsky

A page from last year's stitch book. Tonight was Lester Holt's last broadcast on NBC's Nightly News. Every show I watched, I watched to the very end so I could hear him say these words.
