I sincerely apologize for believing that a world leader would not be such a pussy toddler that he would stop a country's aircraft from flying because that country hurt his widdle feelings by standing up for itself.

The winds have been carving some amazing formations into the snow along the highway. For size reference, these drifts are at least as tall as me.

1/2 I had a bunch of orphan blocks left over from my last project when I realized I didn't have enough of a couple fabrics. I had two sizes of blocks and a bunch of four inch squares as well. I used the ends of all the fabrics with the blocks and incorporated them into rows in a freestyle pattern.

I am DISGUSTED by what is happening in Minneapolis. They are like our sister city. We go there for games, concerts, weekend shopping trips. Our kids play in tournaments there. Half my city has visited. It's like it's happening in my home. This MUST STOP! 🇨🇦

Sitting here considering how world politics are threatening democracy. It's Trump's fault. All of it. He can't have Greenland, he can't have Canada. Why is it that world leaders are all narcissistic anti-democratic fucktards? Just wondering.

Completed this quilt top yesterday. Thanks to the quilting community here for your suggestions on salvaging this when I was unhappy with the layout. I ended up going with blue sashing, not because I thot it was best, but mostly because that's the only solid I had enough of (yes, I did the math!).

I own three seam rippers. At any given time, one, two or three of them are nowhere to be found. What in the quilting twilight zone is that about anyway?

I spent the last hour fixing up less than perfect points on my sashing strips. It is fiddly unnecessary work, but it is something completely in my control. Maybe that's all that matters right now.

RIP Renee Good

This statement is so damning she describes how they refused a Dr for Renee

Emily Heller describes seeing the shooting right outside her home in Minneapolis, saying the scene was "totally chaotic" and that it took 15 minutes for EMS to arrive after the shooting.

We just watched a British made series on Netflix. No false eyelashes, no veneers, no lip or cheek filler, actual bodies with real faces and wrinkles. So refreshing. A true contrasting view of how unnatural and out of control anything Hollywood related has become.

Hey #quiltsky, please help me pick a layout. Honestly I'm not sure it will make much difference. My fabric choices are terrible, there is not enough contrast for a log cabin. And with odd numbers of rows and columns, symmetrical is impossible. Which one is the least bad? TIA.

And in happier news, the little doe came back last night and we had a moment. She seems to have no fear.

This little girl has been hanging around for a couple days eating leftover plants in our yard and next door. She's all alone, not very old. I hope she stays off the street.

Here's my 2025 in review. I read a buncha books, sewed a buncha quilts, grew a fairly good flower garden. Yay me.

My New Year's resolution was going to be "don't wear sweatpants to the grocery store anymore" but I think I need to change that to "don't cut into fabric to piece a quilt top unless you know you have enough".

I just finished "Theo of Golden". I was expecting great things. It's a nice gentle story with some good language and moments of humour. Overall, it's not a favourite read of mine. Be honest, what are your thoughts, and why?

1/2 Planning out my next quilt top. It will either be a scrappy log cabin (maybe offset?) with a stack of four inch kid fabric squares I found or one of many patterns I have using my endless stash. 🤪

Watching "Elf" and realizing that three of the main characters I grew up watching have already passed on. Time is not stagnant. Miss all of them.

It's snowing and blowing again today. The snow shovelers left less than an hour ago. Too funny. I'm not leaving the house again until after Christmas!
