Serendipitous matching fabric patterns along a seam (twice!) and practicing some free motion quilting after about a year of doing nothing on the longarm. Both were particularly satisfying this past week. #tinyjoys #quiltsky

First I've heard of making a lemon pig for luck, but I'm giving it a go. I unfortunately squashed one of his clove eyes. His tail is a bent sewing pin. Used the oldest penny from my purse (1951). He leaks a bit, but looks optimistic and smells nice.

It took almost 10 years, but I put borders on my Allietare! Miss Freddy approves. Did I pull out another of my many unfinished projects to work on? No, no I did not. Always wanted to make a Florabunda quilt. I'm on a @quiltville-bonnie.bsky.social streak this month! #quiltsky

My #tinyjoys for the past week. My favorite coffee mug. Perfect weight and size. Showing it's age since I can't find another. Tried a new recipe, cranberry cake, and it was yummy! (I don't feel much like cooking lately, so that was a win).

First was Challenger, we were watching in school. Second, fall of the Berlin Wall.

Making me happy this week, the red Holiday cactus is blooming, and I got to snuggle a random garage cat. He was a purrfect chonk!

Making me happy this week: Progress on the scrappy strippy borders, and stopping to admire the moon and Venus. I might have this quilt top finished by the end of the month!

Here is my write up in @thenation.com about yesterday’s awful anti-trans hearing at SCOTUS. If I made the arguments Alito and Barrett made when I was in law school, I would have gotten an F. Unless my professors were bigots like them.

Hope top is complete! (Pattern from GE Designs). Celebrating an empty bin. Next up, Allietare. (pattern by Bonnie Hunter @quiltville-bonnie.bsky.social) My first mystery quilt; it's been waiting for borders since 2016! Favorite part? Moo fabric. 😂 #quilt #quilting

Making progress on getting the Hope quilt blocks together! (Pattern from GE Designs). Slowly but surely! Love the colors, and think it would be good in a more monochrome palette.

So what’s your favorite Thanksgiving dessert? My #1 and #2:

Happiness this week, more roses and a blooming Thanksgiving cactus. Plus Freddy has a new toy, so she's ecstatic! I'm just glad it quit squeaking after 5 minutes.

Playing in the pile of unfinished projects. I don't put pressure on myself to finish quilts. This is fun, not a stressor. Finished Chunky Churndash, Bonnie K. Hunter free pattern. Fabric from coworker cleaning out a relative's estate. Trying layouts for Hope, GE Designs. #quilting #quiltsky

Things making me happy this week. Last roses before the first freeze, new kitty niece that is fearless around her dog siblings.

Real person, just not a prolific poster. My sister calls me the fun sponge, my boss tells people I'm actually funny, and the dogs are happy to see me even when I don't have food.
