I’m pouring all this political stress and drama into increased quilting creativity and production. I will not let them steal my joy.

Attention white women who thought, "they won't do anything to me." Christian nationalists want you married, barefoot, and pregnant. You are subservient to your white husband. To have any goals outside caring for your husband and children is to go against God.

Trying to piece away the stress and worry… Progress on this ad lib indigo stars project. I think I’ll need to sew a couple more large white star blocks for balance, then on to the indigo sashing and layout decisions. Thank you for following along with me and this project! #quiltsky #quilting

Still adding new blocks to this indigo star study. Currently 4 different star blocks ranging from 4” to 16” and countless fabrics. I’m including some blue teal to brighten the mood. Not sure of the final layout but this keeps me from dwelling on the dRump regime cruel antics. #quiltsky #quilting

Work in progress. Just free wheeling blue stars from all scraps on dark indigo background. #quiltsky #quilting

Border focus on two I-Spy baby quilts I made with animal fussy cuts as Sawtooth Star centers and themed piano key borders. Wild animals border is leopard, zebra, and giraffe prints. Farm animals border is eggs, chicken wire, honeycomb, and gingham prints. 2019 and 2022 #quiltsky #quilting

Final finish for 2024, using a gifted charm set of 5” squares, (Moda) and some yardage. 54”x64” free-hand free motion quilted, Pfaff powerquilter 16.0 sit-down long arm. The selvage reads: “Life is better on the bay.” I call it “Serenity Now.” Bonus points if you know the reference. #bluesky #quilts

Now all 12 blocks are pieced using “The Secret Life of Squirrels” fabric plus bits from my stash. Next up is trimming, sashing, and sewing the blocks together (my least favorite part of quilt making…). #quiltsky #quilting

Three more “The Secret Life of Squirrels” blocks done, and I’m having fun using random leftover scraps for the stars. My fave so far is the lower right — squirrels roasting marshmallows! (Happy to see I’ll keep my points.) #quiltsky
