I don't love it either, but I'm not sure how you tell a man that he should let his only surviving son rot in prison to respect norms, institutions, and the rule of law, when the country you devoted your life to serving just pretty comprehensively voted they don't give a shit about any of that.

Thank you, Debora!

Thank you, Lisa! It's brighter than I usually go (I'm not a yellow girl as a rule), but my friend loved it and it is cheerful as all get out! 😂

Same! (I wonder who it was if it wasn't you? I'll have to ask Amy M.!)

It is very quirky and sometimes hard to navigate. Still, an amazing site! In fact, I think I first learned about it from you at my first Quilt Alliance "Not Fade Away" conference. 2015? Was that you?

Hello, #quiltsky! I'm so happy to so many quilters around here! I've been making quilts since 2007 and have a side hustle writing for mags like Quiltfolk, Quilting Arts and QuiltCon Magazine. Here's my latest quilt, made for a friend going through chemo who wanted lots and lots of yellow:

Jacquie, I've interviewed you at least three times now, and I had no idea about your love of Formula 1. Clearly, I've been asking the wrong questions! (Love the quilt!)
