Main part of Jan-Jun 1958 #quilt top is done. Bottom purple rectangle bottom is low temp for the period. 2026 is visually much warmer for Jan/Jun (see post below) Avg Lo/Hi is 32/47 for ‘58 & 39/57 for ‘26! #100dayproject (on day 185) #temperaturequilt #quilting #climatechange #sewing

My #temperaturequilt (s) are almost finished through June. Jan-Jun of ‘26 (left) and 1958. Even not knowing the color scale, you can tell that ‘26 is hotter (pink polka dots are 85-89). High temp in ‘58 was 87 on (7/1). #quilt #quilting #quiltsky #sewing

Best sentence ever written: “4Chan Christian guns-and-God conservatives plotted to bomb the MMA at the White House over the Epstein Files but were foiled when one of their moms overheard an encrypted voice chat when she delivered hot pockets to the basement where her son lives. “

On today’s episode of Stuff Happening in My Neighborhood… This is about a block from my house. In the second largest city in New England. He looks like someone brushed his fur and used special fur conditioner on it. #bear #blackbear #citybear

A perfect thread!!!

I had no wrapping paper for baby shower gifts, so I made bags/envelopes. Great way to use scraps. The animal envelope is the same minky fabric as the back of a quilt I made for the same baby. And, of course, the drawstring bag has a naughty label on it. #sewing #giftbags #quiltsky

@kimkelly.bsky.social Could you please share this? My friend is the head of the SJU union. Thanks!

This is like a Magritte painting. Read the first line of the obverse. Medicare is fascinating. #medicare #retirement #insurance

My friend made me a voodoo pincushion and I’m ready to get stabby. #sewing #quilting #quiltsky

Bizarrely, I am friends with a group of “boys” I taught in 6th grade and high schoo - now 38ish. We’ve had a group thread for at least 10 yrs. One of them sent this pic today. His partner made him a calendar of things she thinks are cool about him. Today’s is in this picture. 🥹

I forgot to post this on day 100. #100dayproject Temp quilt through 4/10/26. Outer square is low temp. Inset circle is high temp. Squares with rectangles are average hi/lo for the month. I'm also working on one for the year I was born but I haven't started April. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt

We all complain about AI, but I have a good story. I'm making a #quilt & ran out of a batik. Neither store I shop could ID the fabric. I asked Copilot. 3 questions & a photo led me to the exact fabric & gave me a list of stores that had it. #quiltsky #quilting #batik

My cat, the cliché.

Baby quilt using “Jungle Romp Minky” (Betsey Cavalo/ Henry Glass). Special label from Kylie And The Machine. And that label really does say it all - I did not fuck it up! But I HATE sewing with minky fabric. Everything and I are covered in fuzz. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #sewing #babygift

I taught my friend how to do a bit of long arm quilting on my #Babylock Crown Jewel 2. Working with minky fabric is not easy, but she did a nice job. Wolf fabric is Wolf of Pink Street. Backing is True Colors. She headed off to bind it now! #tulapink #graywork #quiltsky #quilting #quilt

Absolutely amazing! But does AI learn from what Kyle called it out on?

Finally finished binding this baby quilt and remembered to sew in a special label on the pillowcase. Fabrics are Tula Pink. Label is from @kylieandthemachine.

Can confirm that TCM is airing Gaslight. Started at 8pm. Well played, TCM!

FYI (please share this): if you/a friend/someone in your family has a hearing loss, the @americanredcross.bsky.social will come to your house and install “bed shaker” alarms to wake you if there is a fire. Many people with hearing loss can’t hear the high frequency of a fire alarm. 🚨

@annies330.bsky.social I was at UMASS Memorial in Worcester today and I saw a piece of your art! I recognized it immediately, but checked the label to make sure I was correct. I was 😊.

I completely agree! This is my favorite movie of all time. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it at least 50 times. (Slightly less than once a year since it was released)

This quilt pattern (along w other patterns) is 20% off from Cotton & Bourbon with the code TheFWord. Her patterns are beautiful and very well written. If you are a quilter and you’re on IG, she’s @cottonandbourbon over there. A % of each goes to immigrantjustice.org #quilting #quiltsky #quilts

My second needle felting project was a detailed aerial view map of my house. I chose pink as a background because it needed more contrast due to all the green of the trees. I got this idea from a Valerie Goodwin class on making maps with fabric. #felting #needlefelting #feltingart #womensart

I made this thing several years ago, but today stuffed the bulbous part with fiberfill wrapped in fleece and stuck it on the heater vent. Light speed timing for the cat to get in it. My neighbor called it a Rasta flying saucer. #quiltsky #sewing #caturday

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

So glad @quiltlovinlisa.bsky.social inspired me to pull out a quilt that I quit in 2022. I’ve now finished the top&bottom rows and the 2nd and 2nd to last rows. The middle 3 are single rows. I assume I’m sewing blocks together after I finish all blocks. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt

This is beautiful. And if you don’t tear up when you watch it, you are likely dead inside. #ladygaga #mrrogers youtu.be/gMFQmOBO6D4

My daughter suggested that instead of making a temperature quilt, I should make a quilt with a color for each book I read of a certain genre. In theory, an excellent idea. In reality, if I assigned red to any thriller/ murder book, I would have a big red quilt. #quiltsky #quilting

This is the best thing I’ve read recently. Thank you, Qasim!

Finished! Wall hanging for a friend. 9 wonky triangle log cabin blocks, presents under the tree, a little “Starry Night” quilting action. Faced, no binding. Designed by me. Possibly, though not necessarily probably, covered in snot because I’m sick. Nothing purchased! #quiltsky #quilting

Christmas wall hanging for a friend, pieced and needs to be quilted. Strip quilt wonky triangles. Stars in the night sky. Presents under the tree. Bows on the presents (except ones to add after quilting). Design by me, mostly while I had a fever or on drugs. 🤧 #quiltsky #christmasquilt

Another toddler (should have been baby) quilt and pillowcase done! Now both have been mailed. And, 🤔, I made a 🌈 quilt. Does that make me a groomer 🙄? 🎼 🎵 You may say I'm a groomer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one 🎶

I made my 1st quilted #adventcalendar for my Irish friends! They were away until 12/15, so had to open days 1-15 last night. numbers aren’t on the quilt yet. Quilted and backed w sheer fabric so that it looks like stained glass when backlit. Still needs a little more work. #quiltsky #advent2024

I’m finally finishing 4 very late baby (now toddler) quilts. Here’s the first one. There is a pocket that holds letters so that she can spell names of people in her family, and her own name. (And a bag to wash the letters in) #quiltsky #quilt #quilting.

If you have a cat (and extra money because the kids are grown), the only thing you need to get for said cat is some wall or floor furniture from www.maupets.com

A mourning dove flew hard into my dining room window. Unfortunately, it gave its life for my window, but not before leaving an impressive outline of itself. You can see individual feather impressions in the 2nd picture. This happens relatively often (I just ordered decals to thwart the birds).

I made a spool chest nto a side table. The “DEXTER” drawer is on the top. A charging port (2 USBC, 2 USBA, 2 regular plugs) is in the bottom drawer. I reinforced the bottom to install the hairpin legs and make a cord channel. Forstner bit came in handy! #woodworking

Today was the first time I saw a product price online that added in a tariff surcharge AND told me that it was added. I’m not buying this particular product (too $$$), but I will buy from the company. Good for them for letting us know the tariff surcharge.

Scroll through. Especially to the image @geoffbowser.bsky.social made of the DOL posts since Labor Day. JFC! Not the America I see everyday.

Most people who don’t use cannabis don’t understand what is said below. “Patients don’t want to get high, they just want to get better.” U.S. laws have made research on how cannabinoids work for different situations impossible. So we are out here self-medicating and 🤞🏻finding what works for us.
