ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

The last two weekends, I spent making my first jelly roll rug. I love my bright rug. I used an old Alison Glass jelly roll. #quiltsky #sewsky

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

A cold but fun night cheering on the UP 200 and Midnight Run teams!

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

Finished up block one of the Starry Signs BOM from @wholecirclestudio.bsky.social. #quiltsky #starrysigns

Feels great to have this project finished. Bowl Me Over 2.0 from byAnnie patterns. Onto the next project. #sewsky #quiltsky #bagmaking

My next project. January has been all about finishing projects that have just been sitting around. Only a few more long overdue projects to go. #quiltsky #sewsky #bagmaking

This week's Internet winner goes to...

Shame on the NYT, we all know, we don't need to speculate.

Once you start sewing these, it is hard to stop. I made another 2 Bitsy Boxes. I just love using my leftover quilted Soft and Stable, plus my zipper cutoffs from other projects. I made one other but it was swiped by my youngest for her bag collection. #quiltsky #sewsky #bagmaking

Stop Breath Scroll through our photos and see if they don't relax you Breath some more Calm We got this Moose Monday

Thank you for a great season!

Tomorrow, Donald is going to return like the angry toddler he is. But we won’t just let this gigantic manbaby destroy our country. We will fight back in every way we can.

This just might be the cutest, tiniest bag I've ever made. It measures 2.5" square. The perfect little bag to use up my leftover quilted Soft and Stable and zippers. Pattern is the Bitsy Box. #quiltsky #sewsky #bagmaker

Had some leftover over quilted fabric from making the backpack. So I made the extra-large Hemingway Pouch from Center Street Quilt. #quiltsky #sewsky

Hi #quiltsky and #medsky. I’m making an intro to EPP series on YouTube geared towards surgical residents. First video (intro) up now. Check it out! Quilting for Surgical Residents: A wellness break that actually works youtu.be/HT_-0NHTajc

Nothing but love for Detroit

Finished this Back At Ya 2.1 from byAnnie.com for my youngest. She has been asking for months when I was going to finish it. Such a cute bag. She picked out the fabric during the Michigan Shop hop. #quiltsky #bagmaker

My favorite tip for bag making, use lots of clips and sew slowly. #quiltsky #bagmaking

This! h/t @littlemissvrb.bsky.social

A beautiful display of the truth.

Healthcare should never be for profit. Private equity companies suck all the good out and we are left with crap.

I love snowy days.

Working on my next project. Back At Ya 2.1 from byAnnie patterns. My youngest has been asking and asking when I was going to work on her bag. Finally started, love a nice quilted bag. #quiltsky

I fear there is deep truth here.
