Feeling all giddy with these two upcycle items coming together to make overalls to wear to Quiltcon!

Just living my best life as the future eccentric old lady that everybody is sure is a witch but ends up having the best estate sale ever after she shuffles off the mortal coil.

Word of the day is Cognitive dissonance

Welcome to my unhinged rant from a liberal quilter who gives no 🦆s

On the long list of things I do when not being “the BadAss Quilter”….. professional neonatal kitten rescuer- yeah, it is really a thing.

Warm winter salads for the win! There is just something that feels indulgent and fancy about a warm salad… this one was amazing. Cara Cara oranges sautéd in honey and vinegar, on top of a bed of wilted greens, candied walnuts and feta.

Good Day Sunshine cowl is starting to peek the suns! .. from Catherine Clark at Boston General

I want to be working in this, instead I am laying in bed with a heat pad on my neck because it seems this is what one does on occasion when almost 57. ZERO STARS

I have some serious Gladys joy right now! Patches are on their way! - stitching on the LEFT side of history.

11 pm- how’s about I make a fake book? - There is not a single project that I can’t make more complicated than it needs to be, it’s a skill.

Mind you, I am S H I T at giving myself rest, but I am trying to learn.

Playing with vintage fabrics today..

Getting pretty excited that my grandkids will be getting large, shiny gold platter sized belts instead of caps and gowns for graduations in the future .. yep this is fine, just fine. 🤯

Oh you know, making bullion roses to take a couple of minutes to escape the building dystopian hellscape, as one does! 😬🙄#dystopianselfcare

Hey Hope, you enjoying using that Sewtites mat as your personal grooming station?

Did I mention that I am also a progressive prepper? Prepper as in, has what I need to share and support myself and help my community , NOT -I hoard stuff and live in my basement. There is a huge difference. And… got me a new book!

Well I guess I am doing this thing! If you are a politically liberal quilter/sewist/crafter I would love to get to know you! I am Maddie, eater of cheese and believer that radical diversity and equity have a place in the quilt world .. and kittens, since, you know, kittens.
