Friday date night was Wendy’s Wednesday Addams meal and the Season Finale of Wednesday. 🖤 perfection

It’s quilting season again :) The world is on fire but at least winter is coming. Bad brain fog today, darn it I was on a 3 week roll of functionality. I saw baby chores and miniature horses at the fair this weekend, along with regular size livestock. That was cool. I should update more.

It’s the Chesterville Agricultural Fair this weekend. I’ll have to go check out the quilts and home goods. But there going to be lots of demolition derby, tractor pulls and general tee-hawing in the evening. Readying my headphones.

Enjoying a beautiful day at the spa. This is 48 🌈💕

Working on the layout for my birdseed #quilt now that I have all my blocks made. FYI 108 flying geese and 102 #appliqué orange peel blocks 🙃 Only half the layout fits in my bed so I’ll have to fund some cat-free floor.

Continuing to enjoy @libselliott.com #BlockOfTheMonth and happy to have some nice pieces curves in this #quilt 💛🩷🖤🧡

Come hang out and craft in a quiet space with me today, in Ottawa. A friend is having a crafty social event. www.eventbrite.ca/e/a-queerly-...

My suggestion for date night was to go pick out Lego sets and then sit together and build them. He said yes 🤩 I’m building a café and he has a John Deere tractor

Just designing a #retro #quilt and watching #LiveAid on its 40th anniversary

My 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ pride #quilt top is ready for quilting. I think I’m going to take my time doing this myself. I’m happy with the rainbow colours and 80s vibes

I made a cute #nametag from @rubystarsociety #selvedge prints! #quilter #lgbtq

Block 6 of @libselliott.com #SewSquad block off the month was challenging! It’s #FoundationPaperPiecing in 4 parts. But it looks good! There may have been some swearing with this #quiltblock #botm

🎵 Despite all my rage I am still just a cat in gatorade 🎵

Still needs to be #quilted but I finished my Hello Curves Again mini sampler. I made it for a teachers course for #SewKindOfWonderful and love the purple ombré I chose 💜 🧵 🪡

As we celebrate Pride let us pause for a moment to remember. This is an image of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget. #HappyPrideMonth

Block 5 of my @libselliott.com #BlockOfTheMonth These were strip pieced and then the corner circles were appliquéd. I am loving these colour combinations.Its going to be a bright #quilt

When you’re trying to get work done but the kids want attention #cats

I just finished my #HappyTogetherQuilt 🌈 I@sewkindofwonderful pattern made #curvedpiecing easy. Fabric outfits are wax prints from @kenaquilts - stunning! Check out the SKW event next week at @madaboutpatchwork 💕 I’m so happy with how this #quilt turned out. Long-arm quilting by Janet St.George

Today was #plant Spa and #gardening day. I repotted the house plants, planted herbs and 💜

Country living, spring edition… One thing I was not prepared for is how LOUD the birdsbirds sing in the morning. They are having a gooooood time 😂

Just waiting for my coffee to brew and now I’m trapped 🐈 #CatProblems

I’ve finished the last #QuiltBlocks for my #HappyTogether #Quilt from #SewKindOfWonderful 😍 Tomorrow I’ll #sew the blocks together so it’s ready to get quilted. Having a great time sewing #Curves

I’ve made 30 “potato chip” #QuiltBlocks and now it’s time to turn them into a #quilt. I think I will add a black border to make it a bit bigger and give the eyes a place to rest. But I won’t add sashing since I love the TV static look! #UseYourScraps

My #AprilFinish just bound last night. It’s all hand sewn and #quilted. The top is all #EPP from #scraps. I hand quilted with Aurifil 12wt horizontally, about 3” apart so it will be nice and soft. It’s a 36” baby #quilt that will likely be gifted. Squishmallow for scale.

The palpable improvement in my mood and mental function after conservatives lost the election tells me I was impacted by the state of things more than I realized. Remember to take care of yourselves because all this uncertainty and threat can really hurt your physical and mental health 💕

Spring is here, open window #CatTV

Treated myself to a #manicure and some pretty paperback #books

I finished three more #QuiltBlocks today on my Happy Together #quilt 😍 Sewing curves is really fun when you get the hang of it. #SewKindOfWonderful I like that the bottom one looks like she’s wearing a scarf 🧕

That feeling when your co-workers are using AI to make human versions of their pets… Not sure if it’s worth the environmental destruction and impoverishment of actual artists to generate you a reverse #fursona but okaaaaaaaaay *crying and laughing and dying inside

I’ve been making “potato chip” #quiltblocks from my big bag of scraps with all the purples, greys and blues. All the pieces are 2”x3.5” so it’s an efficient way to #UseYourScraps! 💜🖤🩵🤍💜

Imagine if you had a limp, and every time your step faltered, someone reminded you to step more carefully. How frustrating would that be? How angry would you be whenever they reminded you? This is how it feels when my “careless” mistakes are pointed out so I can “pay more attention” next time. #ADHD

#quilting in progress after thread-basting on the dining room table.

A second #RollForQuilt block today, it’s super fun to get random #quilt blocks that I’d never imagine in these colours. #UseYourScraps #RoseCityOriginals This one is a bit wonky 🤷 but good practice

Playing #RollForQuilt with the random #quilt block generator from #RoseCityOriginals. I rolled for the block and the colours 🙃 and pulled fabric from my scrap bin #UseYourScraps!

Block 6 done but something weird happened and the section with the top hair is not quite wide enough… so I will have to fix it. #SewKindOfWonderful #HappyTogether #Quilting

Happiness is a rainbow 🌈 especially one of new #quilting #fabric 😻 Some @libselliott.com Phosphor colours for my stash.

Woken up by thunder so long and rolling and loud, it sounds like bombs going off… terrifying! ⛈️ ⚡️

Apparently when I wear makeup, my phone’s Face ID doesn’t recognize me 😂

Still here, still your trans genderqueer auntie. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💕 Protect trans people. Protect gender affirming care. Respect who people tell you they are. Full stop.

I enjoyed catching up on @libselliott.com #scrappy star workshop. A fun way to #UseYourScraps. Remember with y-seams to mark, sew, pivot, sew! #quilting

Another lovely Saturday Sewcial with the @libselliott.com #SewSquad Today I learned #FoundationPaperPiecing and I look forward to solving my scrap problem with it 😂 Completed Block 2 of our #BotM2025 What a lovely group :)

Not news but news to me; Missouri Star family are Mormon, on a mission in Africa 🫣 Worse, they bought majority shares of Robert Kaufman. I don’t want to support fabric companies tithing profits for conversion, oppression or colonialism ☹️ Sad because Kona solids are such an affordable choice.

You ever just feel so tired of being tired but you don’t have energy to do anything about it? *continues to rot*

I got my fabric for @libselliott.com #BotM and made another #QuiltBlock 1. I think I would love a whole #quilt out of these, so cool to look at! I decided on a bright, warm combo.

Today I’m making #PickledTurnips thanks to my father 💕 Sure to LIFT your spirits 😂 🇱🇧

Fun #QuiltBlock this morning, wonky star! This is piecing, not appliqué 🧵 🪡 I watched a #MissouriStar tutorial and had to try it. It’s giving #BogWitch #Pagan vibes 🖤

Pet peeve: When people say “vegan leather” or “vegan silk” - this means nothing. You can use “silky” or “leathery” as adjectives and then say what the fibre is. Is it banana silk? Is it rayon? Is it polyurethane? Is it pineapple leaves? Words mean things, be specific 🙏👍🙃

I started sewing rows together and want to make it larger. So I’m adding some rounds of big #hexis to this #epp #quilt. I might do a round of rainbow colours as well. #UseYourS scraps

A #CrazyQuilt patch for my memory #quilt. On my way to #QuiltCon I visited my brother’s fam, and my SIL let me go through her #scraps. Beautiful silk brocades, thanks Carrie!
