I like the Miami Dolphins, books, quilting, and animals. I have a corgi named Cankles. Tacos are my favorite food. The duck-billed platypus is my favorite animal.

Is it time for the Beyoncé Halftime Show featuring the Ravens vs. Texans as the opening and closing act?

Wow, Netflix. We're in pregame coverage, and there are already buffering issues. Nice work. I'm quite certain NFL fans will revolt if this doesn't get resolved immediately.

Why does Disney+ think it's appropriate to cut When Love is Gone from A Muppet Christmas Carol? I understand it's a sad song, but it's a pretty important plot point.

A Muppet Christmas Carol will always be a Christmas classic. And possibly the best adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

But Dan Campbell should 100% be Coach ot the Year. Whatever he is doing in Detroit is nothing short of magic.

I'm a lifelong Dolphins fan. But Josh Allen is the MVP this season. He just keeps getting better. I appreciate greatness when I see it.

I let my dog out back to potty. I slid across the sheet of ice that is my patio on the way out. Be safe out there, Iowans!

Also - Amy is a walking fire hazard. Who leaves their fireplace burning when they leave their house!? The Fabric of Christmas aka A Cozy Christmas Quilt is a standard Hallmark-style film, but so many fire hazards for having a firefighter as a main character.

My mom while watching The Fabric of Christmas: "Sewing machines don't rumble! They whir. Who makes these things!?" I hope the Quiltsky community can appreciate this. #quiltsky

Watching The Fabric of Christmas. I wonder if the hot fireman will be able to make a quilt for his sister in time for her Christmas wedding. Will he ask the local quiltmaker to assist? Will love happen? I can just never predict how these Hallmark films will turn out!

Fruit Cake is weird. That's it. That's the post.

Season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race. I absolutely love Luxx Noir London's confessional commentary. "People don't wear hats enough. Maybe they do wear a lot of hats. I don't know. I don't pay attention." I agree with all of this, girl. About hats AND paying attention. @luxxofficial.bsky.social

How am I just now learning about nail rings!? Where were these in my youth when I wanted fancy nails?

I'm up to season 14 on my rewatch of RuPaul's Drag Race. This season has so many firsts and twists that I almost have whiplash. Wish there had been a makeover challenge and puppet, but this cast was A+.

Dear #Booksky Strangers and Friends - I have ADHD and I'm trying to fall back in love with reading. I'll take any suggestions for books that are fast-paced. I love history and culture. I love both fiction and non-fiction. I definitely do better with narrative non-fiction because I need a story.

If anyone ever finds some of the sexy Founding Fathers fabric at a reasonable price, I need it. In fact - Joann Fabric needs to bring this back. I have so many great quilt ideas for this! So American!

What happens when I let my corgi dress herself. It's called FASHION! #corgisky #cankles #corgi #fashion

Fun Fact: You cannot use the word "boobs" in the description on Venmo.

A Drag Queen Christmas was last night! I want to applaud the incredibly talented and hard-working performers. Seeing some of my favorite Queens from Drag Race was an absolute treat! Crystal Methyd, Nina West, Sasha Colby, Brooke Lynn Hytes? In one show!? I am looking forward to next year's show.

A Drag Queen Christmas was absolutely delightful, high energy, entertaining, and lots of fun. If you get the chance to see it in a town near year, I recommend it!

I'm at A Drag Queen Christmas in Omaha. There were about 10 protesters outside. Inside - packed house. #lovewins

Cankles the Corgi got her own Thanksgiving meal. I call it her Canksgiving Feast.

The Miami Dolphins will always be my team. Win or lose. I'll always keep my Fins up. Plus - there's always next year! If that doesn't manifest - there's always tacos! 🌮🌮🌮

You can't eat leftovers the following day. You have to wait until the next next day. Jesus said so.

Being a Miami Dolphins fan can be very, very painful. It's even more painful today. My sister is a Green Bay Packers fan. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

Cankles the Corgi is ready for the holidays and Miami Dolphins football! Only a few hours until dinner and sportsball!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Humble brag here. This is the quilt I finished on Monday. It's ~80x80. Pattern is Mirage by Laurie Shifrin. I am incredibly proud of how this one turned out. #quiltsky #sewing #quilts #mirage

Quilters are the nicest people. Ask for assistance with a pattern, and all of them want to help!

It says a lot about our imagining of the past that in the video game Oregon Trail, you can die of cholera or typhoid or dysentery but not of consumption, even though consumption was the most common cause of death in 19th century America, especially among westward travelers. In this essay I will

I bought a quilt kit at a quilt show a few months back. Kit is for a quilt measuring 61x77. Pattern provide has instructions for a 62" square. I am not even remotely experienced enough to figure out what to cut to add on the extra 15". (An email has been sent to the vendor for assistance!)

I finished an 80x79" quilt top in 2 days. 43 rows. My spine is displeased with me, but I have a completed project.

For no reason, here is a picture of my Poke Bowl.

Have you even been cutting fabric for a quilt, come across a portion of instructions that seemingly make zero sense, and then walked away from the cutting table? Me either.
