When I designed this in 2017 in response to the "Muslim ban" I knew things were going to be truly awful. We are yearning to breathe free. Let us put that yearning into action.

Mainers, flood Susan Collins’ office with calls, emails, and voicemails asking if she’s watched the video of the lawless and brutal public execution of a Minneapolis man guilty only of dissent. Tell her his blood is already on her hands, but it’s not too late for her to actually do her fucking job.

In response to a call for art by the amazing Karen Miller for her book, The Art of Mothering. As I was food shopping alone the other evening, I was suddenly struck by how “empty nested” I felt. I’m going to write about it in an upcoming post for my Substack, A North Atlantic Narrative.

I had a phenomenally encouraging time at the Hands Off protest in Augusta, Maine today. Huge turnout! This was my sign. Let's keep this up, America!

The rug hooking supply chain is vulnerable, more so now with tariff pressure.
Will we be back to our historical roots of recycling, reusing, and repurposing?

Putting the finishing touches on 'Prey.' I *never* use glue on a fiber art piece except, well, when it's the best way to affix some sea glass. 🙃

Not a ton of progress on this one today because I had other stuff I had to get done, but I did go through my stash to see what else might go into it.

I'd love to see your yarns! I do a lot of hand dyeing of wool yarn and fabric, and sometimes locks and roving, however I have not yet learned to spin or weave.

I found this TapRoot Fibre Lab yarn in Nova Scotia last week and knew immediately it was right for my fierce woman in "Don't Play Small." Fiery wool in the background is "Dragon's Breath" dyed by Shane (the Dye Guy) at Encompassing Designs Rug Hooking Studio in Mahone Bay, NS. Buy Canadian! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Today's project is putting together kits for an upcoming beginner workshop. I don't often teach with kits anymore, favoring student deisgned and color planned pieces, but for specific venues and circumstances it makes sense. There's no single way to structure a beginner experience.

Working on a Substack post about my weekend in Quebec. I have family on both sides of what used to be a friendly border. The destruction of this international friendship by fascist pigs in America is obscene. No matter where this ends up, I will side with Canada.

I just want to pop in here and say how much I appreciate the thoughtful engagement this post is getting. I didn't expect it to catch the notice of this many people and your perspectives are incredibly valuable.

Elizabeth Miller/North Atlantic Fiber Arts @northatlantic.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
I see your point, but a strike in the US would stop a lot of essential services and some production. If you think of people whose work you interact with every day - in all of the stores you might visit, people who work on farms, restaurants, all of that - there'd be disruption if they stopped.

Elizabeth Miller/North Atlantic Fiber Arts @northatlantic.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
I'll bring this idea (again - because I think so many of us want this) to some local organizing groups I'm attached to and see if we can come up with anything. I hate to admit that humans need charismatic leaders to show up truly en masse, but yeah, we do.

Elizabeth Miller/North Atlantic Fiber Arts @northatlantic.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
Thank you for the thoughtful dialog!

Elizabeth Miller/North Atlantic Fiber Arts @northatlantic.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
I've been saying this for a while. We have to scale UP with some centralized organizing. Who can be this kind of leader?

Elizabeth Miller/North Atlantic Fiber Arts @northatlantic.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
Same! I actually wrote a whole Substack post trying to explain to folks why a 1 day boycott feels performative because we aren't going to break the ruling class by sitting out Target for 24 hours. And a few people got after me for that, saying I was bringing "negativity." :(

Elizabeth Miller/North Atlantic Fiber Arts @northatlantic.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
When you wrote, "I mean no shame to this person..." I assumed that was directed to me since I made the post you reposted. If that was not your intent, I misunderstood.
010
Elizabeth Miller/North Atlantic Fiber Arts @northatlantic.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
No, I know you're not saying either of those things. I'm saying that's what I'm getting out in the world and that's why I made this post.

Oh, I've known this for a long fucking time, but every time I bring it up in public I'm gaslit like it isn't true or else told I'm bringing 'negative energy.'
