The second go around I joined groups, wrote postcards, and voted down the line for candidates who believed in freedom and democracy for all. I continue to speak out and can only hope it helps someone stand up rather than staying home or choosing silence.
I’m not perfect, I make mistakes, like not voting against Trump the first go around. The problem was that I stayed home & didn’t vote at all. But I learned from my mistake & am doing better. I speak out every day for freedom and democracy. These 32 blocks aren’t perfect; the next 32 will be better.🏳️🌈
I received this beautiful gift today. It made me consider how we survive today’s world in the United States, one stitch at a time…each day we get up, we speak truth, we stand up, and we fight for democracy.
This is my first log cabin and I’m loving it so far! Nice to meet you!
Learning to Log Cabin and considering how far we’ve come from community…today I see more hate than love so I’m creating a quilt of many colors. Love is love and you deserve the freedom to marry an adult you love and loves you back. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Building up a yarn stash for the winter. Lots of knitting will be in my future!
More spinning to keep me knitting through the winter…
Sometimes you just have to find one thing that makes you smile…today, this is that one thing.. I’m in love with this yarn spun from Hello Yarn Raven’s Wing fiber from my August subscription shipment. I loved the deep moody colors as I was spinning it and today the finished yarn makes me happy.
Another supported spindle! A productive fidget!
Spun up this Raven’s wing Bluefaced Leicester wool top from Hello Yarn over the weekend on my Schacht flat iron wheel. It’s so soft and squishy! Might be my favorite spin yet!
2 oz of Falkland wool spun up…I’ll finish the other half and create a 2 ply. Will probably be fingering or sport when all is said and done. #helloyarn #besotted #eew6.1 #spinningwool #fiberjoy
Attempting to learn how to spin wool on a Russian spindle. I think I’m starting to catch on but there is a lot more to learn.
When you are studying Spanish and your phone auto corrects words from English to Spanish…😂😉
Fall is my favorite season…I love waking up and enjoying a latte under a cozy blanket with my pups. Rest and relajado are importante especially in these days of democracy under fire. Watching @laurakampf.bsky.social live as she talks about being a creative. Is this a path I want to traverse?
Finished 9 blocks for the Laundry Basket Quilts 2025 Mystery Quilt-along in Dahlia.
Refurbishing this beautiful Singer 27 treadle sewing machine built in 1899. This is a reminder of the women who came before me who contributed to the world around them. A reminder of the women who were not allowed to leave their abusive spouses, have bank accounts, or vote. #NeverGoingBack
Thank you!
Thank you!
Been getting some knitting in so I have some new fall sweaters.. have 3 more sweaters that are nearly complete. 😁 given the level of inflation this is really helping me out. Thank goodness for the stash! 🧶
Pumpkin Spice season is upon us so what better than a pumpkin spice quilt? In today’s world I’m looking for any bit of joy I can find. I hope these blocks bring you joy! #joansews pattern #pumpkinspice
I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.
I love that it protects my spindle from getting broken in my bag and stops anything getting into my fiber.
#tourdefleece2025 Day #3 my only commitment is five minutes a day to reduce stress. Love this little spindle for on the go spinning.
I have no words because I still feel all the lies Bush told us before he started the war in Iraq. Therefore I give an unrelated picture with hopes that you will seek out truth and take breaks for self care. Even in darkness we can find light…we just have to look harder.
My first time starching fabric before a project. This was for the Dizzy class by Kelly Ashton at KCRQF last week.
So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco

From a place of watching America slip away from us, I encourage my Canadian friends to get out and vote. Don’t let what happened to us happen to you! Use your voice and cast your ballot!
Thank you!
Did a mini quilt-a-long a couple weeks ago. I’m starting to get an itch to spin again but for now quilting helps me miss my grandmother a little less. I can’t imagine what she’d think of the world today. She was lucky to graduate college as a librarian when most women didn’t get the opportunity.
