Yeah I'm glad to see that people are protesting. Hopefully that's a good sign for the elections. My heart hurts seeing all of this happening.

I don't understand why not more of the big media outlets convey this message, that the new administration is doing things that are unlawful. And thus, that there are tool to fight back and protect democracy. People would feel more empowered, I think.

For context: The National Science Foundation founds a lot of basic research in the US. This new policy asking program officers to "review" grants based on a list of keywords containing words lie "biased" or "female" does not "just" attack DEI but all serious science. In the end it hurts everyone.

For this project I bought several shirts in a second hand clothing store (goodwill) and added some scraps from my stash. I chose the colors at the beginning basically by following what felt good 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words! The shape emerged somewhat organically by using shirt sleeves. As you probably can picture we'll, when you cut open mens sleeves, you get these pretty curves on the shoulder ends, and large wedge shapes as the sleeves are tapered. That was the starting point!

Do you have any experience with / tips for repurposing leather from old boots? I have a pair that I've had repaired multiple times but seams are now catastrophically failing. Still, the leather on the shafts looks too good to me to just throw out.

I think many will but not sending a loud public message along with it will still have a damaging effect on dei efforts. We have to counteract this as much as possible within our own little spheres.

Today I was reminded of this quilt I made a while ago for an exhibition of our guild #dcmqg about "patriotism". It reads "Ich bin froh, nicht stolz, Deutsche zu sein" (I am glad, not proud, to be German). Things I didn't do anything for but that benefit me are a privilege not a source of pride.

Thank you! It's simple but effective. The only downside is that you need to use bias binding to get a nice cornder. The first time, I tried this on an even smaller project: hot pads

Here's a little video showing each of them more closely. This size is perfect to practice free motion quilting 😉

I love the texture of these #placemats when they get hit by the low winter sun! This project started in a "scrap play" workshop with Sherri Lynn Wood last January. We sewed "scrap jelly rolls", which I then sandwiched between larger, sandy-colored scraps to let the colors pop. #quiltsky #scrapplay

I've come to the same conclusion! Too many tops that still need quilting are stacking up in my house. Would you mind sharing a recommendation for a longarmer in Germany/Europe for modern quilts? DM is fine too :)

Ah you think so? It's one of my (many ;)) favorites, especially when combined with blue or teal! I'm curious why you find it tricky.

Second, a quilt I started quilting but have a shied away from recently because I'm unsure of the quilting plan and it's very heavy (thanks to a heavy repurposed linen sheet for backing). The quilt started in a workshop with the late Sarah Bond at Quiltcon 2020.

I want to give this a try. Hopefully we can create the same kind of supportive & inspiring community that we have on IG but without supporting spineless billionaires. Here's a collection of my work to kick things off! #quilt #modernquilting First, my most recent quilt finish: "The space between us"

Quilt made from shirt sleeves and other repurposed clothing fabric in an improvisational style. Two opposing corners have curvy wedges in black, blue, red and orange tones, separated by a light pink space.

It's gorgeous! I love both the design and the colors
