Thank you so much 💓
I finished the Wizard of Oz quilt for my granddaughter, who is in the play this weekend. I hoarded that fabric for decades; I'm thrilled I finally used them. No leftovers, I used them for the back. I'm trying to sew and quilt continually to counter the political situation in our country.

congratulations 🎊
I bought a new all terrain walker so I could get to a good spot at the Joliet, IL protest. Then I used it to sit. It was a tremendous day with family and friends. Then we went out for tacos 🌮 😋

Lily got her summer haircut and couldn't wait to get home and cool off. #rescueyorkie
I like them, but sometimes I sigh about more piecing!
I finished my Alice Books quilt. I made too many blocks, but it worked out. The backing fabric wasn't wide enough, so I added a panel. Onto the next project.

I live in Chicagoland, and The Quilter's Trunk, a local quilt store, has #pope fabric. That was fast!
I finished this Fish quilt for my grandson. It's instead of flowers for when he's in a Swamp play in July. Next, I need to make a Wizard of Oz quilt for his sister. I love being a quilting Grandma.

Today, I was up in my sewing studio, and my threads had a message for me.

Last summer I made a #babyquilt for physical therapist after my right hip replacement.
I have my left hip scheduled for this summer. I wonder if I'll be making another?

Living in Chicagoland we usually have several fake springs. But hope springs eternal, right? So I put my #Spring quilt on my condo door. Don't worry, it's inside a hallway if it snows again.

I know St. Patrick's day is over but I'm keeping my Irish quilts up for the rest of the month. ☘️☘️☘️☘️

Exactly
Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"
@duckworth.senate.gov Please vote NO on cloture. This just allows them to keep the chaos going.
Stand up to them. Resist!
@durbin.senate.gov I am begging you to vote NO tomorrow on cloture. If they wanted your help, you should have had access to writing the bill.
Don't give in!
I finished a #catquilt and a #catbag for my youngest who teaches in Cambodia. She has 2 🐈‍⬛🐈. I put the quilt in the bag for when she visits this summer.
And yes. It is a bit of a bribe to get her home!
