Chakra Quilt Start

I recently started on another Chakra Quilt. I’m calling it the Third Eye Quilt. I thought about naming it Ajna Quilt, but I think a better understanding will come with a more descriptive name. This quilt represents the sixth major Chakra in the energetic system of the body. It is the center of intuition, where…

FYI: for home-school teachers, and people who just are interested in American History, might I recommend an excellent…

Anarchist Jurisdiction

Ha! This new moniker given to Portland really cracks me up. There is so much happening in the world that I’ve been a bit overwhelmed. I took a bit of a break from writing here because quilting seems so unimportant in comparison to things we should be dealing with right now. We made a T-shirt…

Black Lives Matter (too).

I’ve kept my quilting blog away from politics, but life is politics. Right now, we are fighting for EVERYONE to have the same right to breathe, to sleep, to run, to play, to eat without fear and terror of losing one’s life. It’s that simple. There is not much more for me to say. If…
