There are so many things to be infuriated about right now that I couldn’t pick just one to rage stitch. All of these events are horrifying and they’re also all distractions from the Epstein Files, which still haven’t been released in full. More info in comments. #quiltsky #protestquilt #craftivist

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

Here are image quilts of all of the PDFs from today's DOJ Epstein document dump. Four volumes, 8,408 pages of photos, receipts, and documents. 10,000 foot view of some dark, disturbing content.

Don’t know that I need to say anything more about this. #quiltsky, #protestsign #craftivism #resistancequilt #wordquilt #protestquilt #quiltart #quiltstagram #artivism #sewliberal

This years 4th of July resistance mini quilt and the note I wrote that accompanies it.

So proud of Minnesota for showing up at the No Kings rallies across the state while a politically motivated assassin was on the loose. This is me at the rally in St. Paul with my newest quilted sign. #quiltsky #craftivism #protestquilt

Karen Rabe finished this gorgeous Terrific Tenons quilt top using Libs Elliott's Glaze I collection—and I’m fully obsessed. The texture, the depth, the vibes. I’ve got a few kits left if you wanna make your own: mxdomestic.com/products/ter... #LibsElliott #QuiltKit #ModernQuilting #MxDomestic

Got into some good trouble yesterday at the #handsoff protest here in St. Paul! And of course I had to make a quilt sign! I’m calling this one “2025 Required Reading” @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social #quiltsky

Accountability post! When my “I Dissent” quilt sold at Quiltcon I committed to donating all the funds I received for it to non-profits dedicated to supporting LGBTQ & particularly trans youth. I’m happy to say that I received $276.25 from the MQG & today I donated $310 to 3 different organizations.

Last nights activity. Just because I’m now a blue dot in a blue state with almost all democratic representation doesn’t mean I can be complacent. There’s lots of work still to do. And as much as I love Texas, so grateful to be here now. @sd43dfl.bsky.social

Depressing to think that presidential administrations are 208 weeks long and were only 2.5 weeks into this one. I’ve got a laundry list of things I’m doing to fight back and to make it sustainable in the long run. What are you doing? My list is in the comments.

Taking a break from doing therapeutic sewing this evening to start reading this book. Made a bunch of phone calls at lunch today and signed up to volunteer with my local DFL precinct starting with next week’s monthly meeting. What are you doing to get through this week?

Trying to find fun things to look forward to and it’s only 23 days until pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. Time to get cracking and finish my Astros quilt! Especially since it’ll still be wicked cold up here then. #quiltsky #therapeuticquilting

No other words needed (although I have a lot more to say). I Dissent. 2024. Made by me with letters from @carolynfriedlander. See it in person at Quiltcon 2025 in Phoenix. Now let’s fight like hell for our country. #quiltsky #idissent #wordquilt #modernquilter #quilter #craftivism

It’s Wednesday, so let’s share a quilt. Here’s a throwback to X-Factor, made in 2022. Happy to say that she’ll be hanging in the negative space category at Quiltcon 2025 in Phoenix next month. #quiltsky #quilting #modernquilter #quiltcon2025

UPS has LOST my 4 quilts that were juried into Quiltcon 2025. I paid for 2 Day Air Delivery of the quilts from MPLS to Austin on 1/6/25 to arrive by 1/8/25. After many website chats, texts, and phone calls, I’ve filed a claim and they’ve opened an investigation. #quiltsky #upslostmypackage

First quilt top finish of 2025! Definitely been doing a little therapeutic sewing in the first week of the year to help keep me from doom scrolling the news on my phone. This really reminds me of my mom, whose fave color was red. She would have loved this! #hstquilt #modernquilter #quiltsky

Well, when put it that way…

Oh Siri, would that I could just call in to my mammogram, but alas, the annual squishing must commence in person. Friends with boobs, make sure you take care of yourselves and schedule those unpleasant but necessary annual appointments! Love you!

Also, just so we’re clear, aside from cat pictures I’m here to fight like hell for our democracy over the next 4 years and beyond.

All new social media accounts should start with a photo of a cat, right?
