Southern Living is putting up egg free recipes because reasons I guess www.southernliving.com/breakfast-re...

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.

Machine quilting in progress:

I finished up the back for the blue quilt yesterday and got it basted & ready to quilt.

I made around 26 heart blocks every month in 2021, and finished this quilt on Valentine's Day 2022.

Quilt top I finished last week for a donation campaign in my area. I made a very labor intensive franken-batting for this and will be making a pieced back as well.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

Working with the kids on a batch of gluten free cinnamon rolls with egg, and a batch of egg free cinnamon rolls with regular gluten flour. I wish we started somewhat earlier. Dietary restrictions are fun!

If you see something you don’t like, shut it down. If you can’t shut it down, make the harmful agenda more difficult. That’s exactly the sort of minor mayhem I have caused for years. Slight chaos. A burr under the saddle. A thorn in the side. A constant irritation. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Beautiful sunset sky, one year ago from today.

Delicate Arch is cool, NGL, but the crowd there is the worst. Hot tip: If you've done this hike before (which I have), do the viewpoint hike instead. Zero crowds. #utah #archesnationalpark #delicatearch

I finished reading The Westing Game today. I've never read it before. I did find the plot somewhat confusing through much of the story but I loved the ending!

I might be working on a secret holiday project.

Foundation paper pieced butterfly. Free pattern is by lillyella stitchery. Might make another one tomorrow. #fpp #quilting

I'm pretty sure that wood from the trees that fell during the bomb cyclone last week cannot be used as firewood any time soon. #wawx

I made a quilted pocket for this purchased hoodie, inspired by @nextgenquilting on ig. Drawstring is an upgrade as well.

Quilters, do you know about the Lunar Quilt Block Challenge? The deadline to notify the Kennedy Center of your intent to submit a 12.5" quilt block is 11/20. Block images are due on 12/10. www.kennedy-center.org/whats-on/fes...
