#makersmARTch #ink Picatso: The Art Thief. Inspired by one of Picasso's lost works, stolen from a Paris Museum in 2010. Inked, painted, raw edge appliqued and free motion quilted. #artshare #artsky #artyear #picasso #cubism #paint #textileart #catsky #cats #catsinart #abstract

No-Pattern Skirt – Digital Sewing Pattern The No-Pattern Skirt is a beginner-friendly digital sewing guide for a comfy knit skirt. No printed pattern needed—just your measurements, fabric, and a sewing machine!

The March prompt for the OKCMQG challenge was Three and Green. A shamrock is probably too obvious of a choice! I drew the leaves by writing a 3 and then making a the leaf shape. So my piece has the number 3, three leaves, and green. #quiltsky #textileart

Artists hanging out at First Friday! I love having studio space that allows me to hang out with artists who work a variety of mediums. It provides both support and inspiration. #quiltsky #art

Sunflowers on a field of blue. IYKTK. I call this technique thread scribbling since I free motion stitch all the pieces. #Ukraine #quiltsky #art #textileart

My sewing student this morning had a beautiful Bernina she got from her grandmother. It stitched like a dream and so did my student. Her first sewing project ever was this lovely tufted pin cushion ♥️🪡. #sewsky #quiltsky

I feel like I'm about to ditch Meta. I've done it before with no ill effects. It is helpful in connecting with people who want sewing lessons & many guilds/groups I'm in use FB as a primary means of communication. Anyway, here's today's micro vlog. #quiltsky #sewsky #vlog

My Saturday started early with a sewing lesson, but after that I puttered about the studio tidying up and organizing. The weather was lovely, so I got to take a couple of walks around the Paseo. #quiltsky #sewsky #art

My sewing students today did a beautiful job on their tote bags! #learntosew

I was so happy to get out of the house and into the studio. I completed the Phoenix, and I'll make a longer video about it soon. Final title for the piece is "Rise Up." #quiltsky #art #resist

This cold, dreary, icy weather has me working from home for my "real" job. Lots of Zoom meetings. I notice everyone has white, plain walls. Meanwhile, even blurred, my room is a wild mix of color, art, and plants. 🧵🖼️🪴

Studio Hours for 2/21 & 2/22 Come warm up at the Paseo Arts & Creativity Center and drop by for a chat!

I'm Amy at Sew Bewitching. I create fiber art that transforms unwanted textiles into something magical. My work reflects my values of creativity, sustainability, & resistance. I am firmly anti-fascist. I want to connect with textile lovers who are stitching for a better world. #resist #quiltsky #art

Today I finished listening to Sharon Blackie's "The Enchanted Life." I give it 10/10. Although it was written 2018, I think it's never been more timely. I especially appreciated her words about myth since my current textile art focus is on myths and fairy tales. #booksky #quiltsky #resist

I've finished the feathers and the legs on the Phoenix. I used a variegated thread on the legs and am please with how they came out. Next up will be the tail/flames. I'm embracing the resilience of the Phoenix with every slow stitch of this project. #quiltsky #artsky

To all my new OKC friends here on @bsky.app, I'll be in my studio this evening for First Friday in the Paseo Arts District. I would love to meet you! #oklahomacity #quiltsky #sewsky #resist

I’m totally appreciating @accuquilt.bsky.social’s blog post today. It strikes me as a direct response to the censorship of the AQS. I see you and appreciate you, Accuquilt! www.accuquilt.com/blog/news/10...

My plan for the week. How about you? #quiltsky #sewsky

I had a sewing student this morning who has not attempted to sew since she was a child. She did such a great job! I can't wait to see what she makes next. #sewsky #learntosew

NEW: US government websites are disappearing in real time, including sites for the US Agency for International Development, foreign assistance, neglected diseases, and children in adversity. We analyzed more than 1000 .gov websites to track what's been taken down—and what's next. wrd.cm/4aFMs5A

More work on the Phoenix. I've stitched all the red and green bits and am working on the blue. I like the way his belly looks! I started using shimmery threads but didn't like them. I'm using silk and cotton threads now. #quiltsky #art #fiberart

This quilt exhibit runs from mid-Feb to mid-April at Moreland University In Kentucky: www.moreheadstate.edu/news/2025/01... #folklore #quilt #textile #folkart #textileart #folkloring

The Phoenix has been painted and fused to the background fabric. Next step is the fun part: embellishing! I'll be adding beads and quilting with shiny threads. The final piece will be mounted on a 9x12 stretched canvas. #quiltsky #art #fiberart

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother #quiltsky
