Making my original contemporary art quilts is my passion and my sanity as I try to piece together imaginary landscapes of time and space. www.etsy.com/shop/annbrauer

And I have a bridge to sell you....

I’m sure Trump will post a heartfelt and sincere congratulatory message to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as any president with class and dignity would do.

I am almost done piecing the new quilt and really loving the colors. I can't wait to see the finished work. What do you think? #artquilt #piecing #workinprogress #coloraday #yellowthu #quiltstudio

Detail of the new work that I am currently piecing with the yellow sun rising into the sky pieced of shades of blue. Beneath it the landscape is greens and teal.

I am respecting Governor Pritzker more and more.

Michael Derby @michaelsderby.bsky.social · 1d

Pritzker goes there on Trump: “This is a man who’s suffering dementia…It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.” Via Chicago Tribune

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.

Time to celebrate the season with these quilted rust red place mats that echo the colors of autumn. What do you think? #etsy #soldonetsy #tablemats #quiltstudio #makermade

Quilted and pieced table mats in the soft reds of the season with just a hint of sparkle of green. #fabricart #tableart

I am not sure of the question. The images are just of quilts that I made in the studio. The granddaughter had fun playing with her own design.

Sometimes it's the quiet times that bring me a smile. This summer a neighbor brought her young granddaughter to my studio. Of course I showed them around. Then they went a bought fabric. Yesterday I saw the finished quilt the granddaughter made. How wonderful it was. #quiltstudio #shelburnefalls

Sometimes I just have to believe that my design will work. Halfway through piecing the new quilt yesterday--it sure did not look good--but then the design began to appear. What a relief. This is only a detail. #quilt #piecing #art #artquilt #quiltstudio #workinprogress

I just started a new quilt. How slow it seems at first as I have to listen carefully to the colors and fabrics. #workinprogress #quilt #piecing #quiltstudio #wip

And let us not forget the US farmers who have just harvested their soybeans but have NO market for them!!!

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 5d

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.
