Dogs, quilts, my husband, Alaska, cinnamon rolls, poems, nice people… some of the things I love, in any order. If you like any of these, let’s be friends. Here’s a quilt I designed a few years back I wanted to share with you. More to come. Stay tuned!
Just pulled this monster off the quilting frame where it’s lived for a few years. 🤓 4.5’ x8’ It’s made from my husband’s old shirt his grandmother embroidered for him when he was a senior in high school. Go, West High Eagles!

My husband is going to his first political protest today for #NoKings and he got really excited when I told him we get paid by George Soros. He’s gonna spend it all on beef jerky.

Great day to show what you believe in. Speak your truth. Show you are prepared to fight against authoritarian rule. If you’re marching, having a teach-in,organizing, or resting for future battles, do it with the conviction that we will not give in, that we stand on the side of justice.And stay safe.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?
