When you revisit some strip sets you made last year when practicing the drawing of organic lines with your rotary cutter, then put them away because you couldn’t decide what to do with them and liked them too much to simply start cutting them up and sewing them back together: a new quilt emerged

Wow Lisa, this looks fabulous! You can hardly find the individual sketches; they have all merged into one composition. Beautiful colors too!

I remember avoiding my long arm machine at first because I was afraid of it. And my serger when I first got it too. Once you “get” the red snapper technique you’ll be fine. It will take diving in. I have no idea how they work so can’t help there I’m afraid.

It might just be what you need. Something were new at (and therefore don’t have full command over) is frustrating especially for us adults who master everything else in life based on experience. It’s hard to be a beginner again. That’s normal.

I pin the back to the leaders, float the rest. Find it meditative actually. What is it specifically that you dread about it? LMK and maybe I can help. There are definitely non meta videos for how but I think you’re saying it’s more in your head. Is that tied to the process of loading or the result?

Yes it was! Thank you. It’s so different to see your work on a white wall vs the typical pipe & drape display of quilt shows. Very happy 😃.

I was honored and excited to speak at the launch of “Lichtbrekers”, a literary novel by my sister Janneke van Eijk, at deBalie in Amsterdam this weekend. It was a great event to celebrate a truly masterful book. For the Dutch readers, I’d say check it out at Www.lichtbrekers.com

Interflow #4 is part of a series of abstract quilts exploring the interplay between form and space, where figure and ground continuously shift, dissolve and reemerge. Photo was taken before every seam was closed. But the design wall is taken over by the next project. New photo will have to wait.

We, the People. Yes, dissent! She may have stayed too long, underestimating her deteriorating health, but she dedicated her entire life to achieving equality under the law, for ALL of us. And she changed the world with her legacy.

Step 4: Home Screen top left horizontal menu bars, click feeds. You’ll see all feeds listed incl the lists you created. Here “pin” your lists so they appear at the top of your Home Screen. Voila, you have different curated feeds only looking at what you want to include there. Hope this is helpful.

Timna, you can easily set this up within Bluesky. I have different feeds pinned to my menu bar at the top and can choose if I want political/news media or quilts. Here’s how: step 1) on your Home Screen click the menu (3 horizontal bars in top left), Then click lists.

Inspired by the @tarafaughnan.bsky.social exhibit at #quiltcon, and when you sometimes just want to sew on auto pilot for a bit, her Double Wedding Ring is great for color exploration and scrap busting. A single block at the start of a day is a perfect way to get me going. 4 down, ? to go. #quiltsky

My personal favorite (apologies to the other three quilts) is “Serenity”. My most recent quilt. I’m so happy it was selected to be part of #QuiltCon #quiltsky #quilts

Sorry we didn’t run into each other. I was on the floor all day yesterday and today and admired your quilts together with Annie.

Quiltcon is as always a whirlwind. From walking the floor of the exhibit, admiring and studying the quilts, shopping at the vendors and seeing many friends. Day 1 was exhausting but exhilarating. This is “Another Dance with the Dragon”, in the Negative Space category. #quiltcon #quiltsky

A wall quilt with black & white elements on a neutral background that is overlaid with a deep red seeping in between the elements.

Not at all dumb! Double Wedding Ring. It’s a classic quilt design that dates back to the early 20th century. I would have spelled it out if it wasn’t for the character limit.

Thanks! It was so much fun to pull the scraps together for these DWR blocks. Red and lime is a favorite combination of mine.

Looking at my quilt photos as a distraction from the madness all around us. “Modern Marriage” is a DWR with a modern twist, meant as a reflection that a loving partnership between two people can have many forms, with or without a marriage certificate, and between any two people regardless of gender.

Same. I just read WIRED built software to monitor the status of over 1,300 government web domains and has detailed reports on sites or pages that are being taken down. Great work and reporting!

Terrific news Laura! The pulling of the whole show was the only viable option i.m.o. and I’m so glad SAQA made that decision. And congratulations on the acquisition!
