I am hosting some free Zoom Conversations. #1 is Ap 15. No cost. They are my offering toward creating a more beautiful and just world, together. Conversations, not lectures No confidence required No obligation No hidden motives #freecalls #bravery #newideas #coaching #conversation #community

One of my first embroidery kits that’s not a sampler. I learned I *really* do not care for satin stitch. BUT I realized: this is my piece of cloth - I can do whatever I want! The body of the bottom moth has some new-to-me stitches. Keep the joy out there #stitchsky #embroidery

Coming along! Looking forward to getting a few more stitches in later today or this weekend. It’s a great weight and very cozy! Question for the hive mind: how do you mark or sign your quilts? #stitchsky #quiltsky #queerquilter #quilts

My first quilt top, and the point here is to finish and by hand. It’s going surprisingly quickly! My little boy can’t wait to snuggle it, so thank goodness for small graces. I actually really like that the stitching is an uneven. Guess I’m not a Type A quilter? #quiltsky #queerquilter #stitchsky

A cheerful way to spend this chilly mud-season day. At this rate, this quilt will take probably 12 years to finish. Maybe by then this field of rainbow flowers will only be a rainbow, and not need to be a sign to others #stitchsky #quiltsky #queerquilter #epp #quilt

@standupforscience.net thankful for your organization of this! Caregiving and illness makes crowds hard to navigate, but I need to add my voice. Sign up here if you’re in the same boat, friends.

Recently discovered I’m genetically predisposed to multicraftual startitis #knitsky #stitchsky #craftsky? The pink one is for my boy who is so comfortable with himself that this will be his second pink hat. His joy is unrelenting

I started my 250th Birthday quilt today! A word of warning: my first degree was American history. #quiltsky #craftivism #stitchsky #quilting

Not complete but maybe could be? Starting a new side project because I’m waiting for transfer paper that actually works to arrive for my main project. #stitchsky #crossstitch #craftivism #queercraft

Completed, still had #crossstitch #stitchsky #craftivism So far it’s looking like the Word of the Year for me. Maybe a lot of us.

I’ve had #crossstitch #stitchsky #craftivism

I cut up fabric to sew back together. Trying to take small steps when I can.

Because Danger is my middle name, I cut up a layer cake on four hours of sleep. I think they are square and the right size but I’m sure I’ll found otherwise in the next few days. Excited to try this fabric and pattern! #quiltsky #quilting

Finishing my first quilt today! And wow am I having feelings about the quilting. My head knows the first attempt at anything is usually…suboptimal. And that’s okay! It’s how it’s supposed to be. My eye wishes for straighter lines but my heart is happy that it’s almost done! #quiltsky #stitchsky

Been working on this Needle Case from Jo Verso’s Complete Cross Stitch Course. But I needed more color and inspiration than what the pattern called for. Needles are mighty, y’all. Give yours a good home and put it to good use. #stitchsky #craftivism #crossstitch #xstitch #fiberarts #WIPWednesday

@muellershewrote.com Mainah here. We’re excited about the Dem senate primary! But I’ll tell you why I like Mills: remember back in February at the Gov’s conference when she stood up to Trump right to his face? “See you in court,” she said. And she’s been doing it ever since.

Inspired by @bannedcamp.bsky.social White-knuckled it through 1984, shuddering through A Brave New World #WIPWednesday #crossstitch #stitchsky

So I’ve tried my hand at freehand embroidery #WIPWednesday #StitchSky #embroidery

Slow and steady WIP. In addition to all of this *gestures wildly*, our family has faced loss, diagnoses, and new realities in the past month. Seriously considering designing a phoenix pattern. It would be my first. #stitchsky #crossstitch

WIP. I started this pattern before the inauguration because I was afraid of what was coming and thought this was a good representation. I had no idea. Now it’s my meditation for radical acceptance as I choose my next actions. #crossstitch #craftivism

uh idk why i suddenly have 3K more followers than last week, but i assume it's because of Black History Month and if so i have a book coming out, THIS ENDS IN EMBERS, sequel to SO LET THEM BURN, and tbh i'd rather you buy it or repost this so other people might buy it 😘 bookshop.org/contributors...

It may be cold outside but I’ve got my eye on the future. Lunch WIP #quiltsky

WIP update. Becoming more clear. Listening to the commentary and analysis of the inauguration. Seems fitting.

WIP update. Perfect for the cold weekend. Surprisingly cathartic.

WIP update.

WIP.

The book says it’s a two-hour project but I don’t mind that it’s not.

Delighted to be joining the generations of women with a proper sewing tin and teaching my child resilience in disappointment

At our house, Jan 6 is a birthday. She’s not a childless cat lady, but she is a cat lady. Who reads. Happy birthday to my wife!
