Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

My quilt group has been playing with variations of the Log Cabin pattern. Here is my interpretation- I just love how it turned out! #Quiltsky

They won the gold but lost all respect‼️

I was given a smart feeder for Christmas and finally got it running a couple days ago. Here’s a cute little House Finch to make you smile on these terrible days.

Well he got what he wanted. Nobody is talking about the Epstein files. They’re talking about the people he’s killed by his actions in Minnesota. He is a piece of shit.

The top is finally complete! All that’s left is quilting and binding. She wasn’t a fast one to make (all templates) and it’s far from perfect, but I love how it turned out. #Quiltsky

Dude interrupted the Survivor finale for THAT speech? Easy coast peeps must be pissed. Glad I live on the West Coast… And did you get the feeling he was told, “ You have 15 minutes. GO!” What a bizarre speech…

Whaaattt? Elena Habba was appointed illegally??? So shocking and surprising. Not…. Maybe we’ll find Jeanine Piro is illegally appointed too. Truthfully, all this couldn’t happen to dumber people…

Another row added to the Jen Kingwell Voca quilt. Still needs some blocks moved around and at least a couple more rows, I think.

Been working on this one for a couple weeks. It’s a templated quilt from Jen Kingwell’s new book, “Gathered”. She did hers in all low volume prints and I really needed to see it with more vibrancy. It needs some blocks moved around and more added but it’s a start. So far, I’m pretty happy with it.

Tied game!

Just a quickie project. Appliqué - cutting the legs was a challenge but I enjoyed the project when completed. Perfect for Halloween!

Now for the next comedian: All of us who got rid of subscriptions, canceled Disney cruises and theme park trips, we need to turn that energy towards getting Colbert his job back.

Bet your diabetic grandparents were thrilled when Biden negotiated $35/mo. insulin! Well, too bad for granny! Felon Trump reversed Biden's victory for seniors against price gouging. Even MAGAs didn't vote for this!

@bsky.app could you please limit the pop up ads? This is ridiculous and unacceptable. Thank you.

I know, I know, it’s still August, but I got in the mood for a new window quilt for October. It was so stinking cute I had to share it while we’re all sweating through this god-awful August heatwave.

Finally got my groove back. This is paper pieced. I made a trivet out of an extra block for a fundraiser.

The White House landscape now matches our national political one.

Another quilted project completed, this time a table runner. It’s paper pieced and I also did the final quilting. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I have a dilemma. I get a lot of followers (thank you!) but many don’t have: -a bio or a photo of some kind -any posts -or all their posts are simply reposts of others . I find it difficult to follow back when the basics aren’t there. Am I looking at this the right way? I could use some feedback…

The local quilt store asked me to sew up a quilt for them and I foolishly said,”Yes” - without taking a look at the pattern. Almost every piece was either 1” or 1 1/2” cut to some length. Lots of flippy corners. It’s super cute but I have a vision of a beginner buying it and being frustrated. Sigh.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, step moms, and grandmothers!

I took a Dresden class yesterday. It was lots of fun! I only got one Dresden completed but it is very cool. Looking forward to making more - they are really fun!

For the gardeners out there😄

I'm just gonna leave this here.

If you’re a veteran, you’ll be unhappy to hear that tRump wants to rename Veteran’s Day to Victory Day in honor of World War 1. He has cut services to the Veteran’s Administration & called the military who died or were injured “suckers & losers. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

The Tesla board is reportedly opening a search to replace Elon Musk as CEO. Their sales have declined. They can replace Musk all they want but I believe Tesla is dead as a company. I wouldn’t buy a Tesla because I would bet that the board shares a lot of his values. The cars are a hard pass for me.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com just reported that it’s been projected that the Liberals have won in Canada.🇨🇦

No Kings protest in Redlands, Ca! The town turned out and took over many blocks in our center of town.

This is so funny - and so true!

See you there!

For those of you into genealogy, here’s a terrific article about why we love it so much! www.genealogyexplained.com/fb/blog/the-...

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

We had western bluebirds visit our backyard for about a week, both males and females. They LOVED my little fountain! Yesterday, it appears they’ve decided to move on. Such a shame - they were a fun addition to my backyard habitat. Sorry for the poor quality pics - an iPhone doesn’t take closeups.

The stupidity of these tariffs - and the pain it’s causing - is breathtaking.

Finally! The chevron quilt is completely pieced and borders have been added. I hadn’t planned on adding borders but it so dramatically made it look better, that I had to add them. I’m thrilled with how it’s turned out! Final steps - backing, batting, quilting, and binding - and then gifting!

I don’t know who needs to hear this today (I know I sure did)…
