Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting
Colorful quilt of a nighttime scene with Harriet Tubman in an orange jacket and purple dress carrying a rifle. She is leading other figures who walk behind her.

I'm having to scream for MA because I'm not making enough sales. I have sold one pattern *ever.*

Fellow knitters: PLEASE CHECK OUT MY KNITTING PATTERNS! the PDFs are $7 each (of which I only receive like, 5) and you'd be helping a desperate cripple survive capitalism.

This is Kegan. She has a broken leg and dislocated hip from being hit by a car. Even though she's in pain and can hardly move, her tail never stops wagging. You can help us cover her much needed surgery and support her recovery below ❤️‍🩹

a person with a ponytail holds kegan’s big ol noggin in their hands and gives her a pep talk. you can tell by the person’s raised eyebrows and intense stare, plus kegan’s eyes closing blissfully in a ray of sunshine, that the message is heartfelt and being received. a big brown and gray brindle pitbull sits hunched over in the back of a car on a cozy fleece blanket. she has a pink and maroon rope leash on, but she looks a little nervous about any adventures to come. a gray brindle pitbull with an enormous blocky head lays on a scale at a vet’s office and looks at the camera with big sad eyes. her skin has little irritated patches of pink here and there, and her back legs flop limply out to the side. all four of her paws have white toes.
