This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy. These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6. They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

Finished! My Economy quilt, started in the #scrappymeetsthriftchallenge this year is finished. More on the blog post. #opquilt #quiltsky opquilt.com/2025/12/14/g...

Back of the quilt in dappled sunlight (on Tula Pink fabric). #quiltsky It’s photo-the-quilt day, if I can get the light right.

Perfect song.

While in a meeting, I took screenshots of my Apple Watch’s radial design. It was actually a pretty good meeting. #radialdesign #applewatch

I arranged all the squircle blocks just to see if I should keep going on this project. I liked it better than I thought I would! I’ll keep going for at least another 80. Free pattern. Link in bio. #quiltsky

Textures from this morning’s walk. #naturesky

Where is this? It doesn’t look like *my* front porch. 🤔

And now we are getting warnings about AI. Are we listening?

Classic.

Glenn Frey releases “The Heat is On” 41 yrs ago today, for “Beverly Hills Cop”. “I was between projects, the Eagles were done,” he said. “But that film had an energy to it. .. Radio grabbed it .. Suddenly I’m out playing this thing and crowds are going nuts — fists in the air .. I’m proud of that.”

A-a-a-a-nd finished this one, too. I loved it. (I had a lot of quilt sewing to do.) I was a bit confused with minor characters' names, but I think @richardosman1.bsky.social has another hit on his hands (not part of the Thursday Murder Club series). #booksky

Finished. #louisepenny Now on to a new one by Richard Osman, who writes The Thursday Club Murder Club mysteries. #RichardOsman

This aisle of paper goods in Costco (unusual) cracked me up. Usually it’s just one bin. #costco #thanksgiving

In Southern California clouds in the sky are a big deal. Final clouds after our rainstorms this week.

Pelosi had political acumen and a brilliant wit.

Gag.

I had a fun trip to Mood Fabrics in Los Angeles this week. What a great place for fabric! #moodfabrics #sewsky

Our neighbors did a great Halloween display. And since we’ve been having nice weather with windows open, you could hear the cheers when the Dodgers won Game 6 of the World Series. #worldseries2025

This is the best.

Yes, I’m fascinated with the Royals, but I totally agree!

Another quilt from the Carrefour Quilt Show (Alsace, France). #carrefourquiltshow #quiltsky There are four towns in this quilt show, and over the next little while, I'll be putting up blog posts on my website, OPQuilt.com, showing off all the quilts!

Some sights from the Carrefour Patchwork Show, held in Alsace France in September 2025. #carrefourquiltshow #quiltsky Yes, that old Theater is one of the places they hung quilts!

I went to the Carrefour Quilt Show, and I wrote my first blog post about the quilts. There are more to come! #quiltsky opquilt.com/2025/10/27/c...

A stunning quilt of recycled linen from Olga Stang, in Germany. Title: "Monet's Pond." #carrefourquiltshow #quiltsky More photos and details are on my blog. OPQuilt. Link is in bio.

This Spanish quilter outdid herself in tiny lines of quilting on the figure on the quilt, creating movement and texture. #carrefourquiltshow #quiltsky

Another quilt from the #carrefourquiltshow from this past September, held in Saint-Marie-aux-Mines, in the Alsace region. This is by Miranda Renard, and is titled Threading New Directions. #quiltsky

In September, I had a chance to attend the Carrefour Quilt Show in Alsace, France and saw a lot of stunning quilts. This one is from their main contest: Avant Garde. See ALT for more info. #carrefourquiltshow #quiltsky

Let's discuss some lies this morning. #USDemocracy

Put the blue borders on tonight and I’m happy how it tied the blocks together. #BOM from A Quilting Life online. (I stopped at nine, instead of doing twelve.) #quiltsky #logcabinquilt

I sewed up a mini-quilt for Halloween: This and That for October. #quiltsky opquilt.com/2025/10/20/t...
