Edith Edmunds, who is 99 years old, the art of quilt making is inextricably linked to the Black struggle for freedom. That's why she plans to be sewing Thursday on Juneteenth.

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

Oh hi there, this Atlantic Yellow-Nosed Albatross chick wants you to have a wonderful day. #WorldAlbatrossDay

I was testing this block.Ignore the fabric combination,I was interested in how difficult it was to match the points.It was difficult because the grey was 3/4 inch before it was sewn.Also,I did it on copier paper and all the seams went the same way and didn't nest.The focus would be a 4 pointed star.

Westward Ho!

View from our holiday cottage! Very pleased this morning.

Eleven years ago today, Lily came to live with us. She was nearly one year old. She had been with us for just an hour and had settled right in.

Lily's helping again.

Worth reflecting on this as the UK televote supposedly gives 12 points to Israel.

I think we just dodged holding next year's Eurovision on the West Bank.

Tough. Very tough. #Eurovision

I quite liked UK (surprisingly).

Iceland!

My first zip.

I suppose I will just sit on the floor then...

GODDAMIT. IT’S NOT A RESURRECTED DIRE WOLF. 20 edits in 19,000 genes. IT’S NOT GOING TO AID CONSERVATION. EVERY WRITE UP THAT SWALLOWS AND REGURGITATES THIS GUFFERY WOLFSHIT IS DOING PR FOR A FUNDING ROUND.

This is Lily. She is very miserable because she apparently had a fight and got her stomach (and intestine) sliced open. She has to wear her post-op suit for at least another week. She also has to go out on a lead because she won't use a litter tray. She is drugged up and slightly weird.

Sewed twenty-one 4-patches and QC rejected three. I am Quality Control.

Last two.

Trying a few blocks from Tula Pink's Modern Blocks book.

Using some scraps to try a 3-D block.

Perfectly sized for 8.5-inch blocks.

This morning's email from Jordan's Fabrics was very sad. I'm so sorry to see Donna has passed away. I learned so much from her videos(almost everything as I am completely self-taught)and enjoyed watching them as she was so relaxed and calm. She was a real inspiration.

I made a little pancake for Lily. It appears that she loves pancakes, and I have never given her one before. I feel terrible because she is nearly 12 years old.

I like making Woven Star blocks, so I made another. (And another in progress).

Woven star block.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Former Conservative MP and British Attorney General Dominic Grieve:

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
