My “America the Beautiful” quilt. Right now our country seems pretty ugly. Trump wants to remove, arrest, or just shoot anyone who isn’t straight, white, Christian, and male. Fuck that. Diversity is what makes our country great.

3rd prototype of the Collage tote complete. I learn and edit on each one. This one has a silk lining, natural dyed linens, and some digital fabric prints from my flower close ups.

Collage tote is finished. It was my 2nd prototype and I’m pretty happy with it.

WIP: fabric collages for a prototype large quilted tote. The bigger ones are front and back and the skinny ones are the sides. Next step is to quilt the collages and then construction starts.

The Whidbey Blanket Makers sent off a pile of balaclavas to the Minneapolis protesters. Every little bit counts.

Working on my “America the Beautiful” quilt. Right now our country seems pretty ugly. Trump wants to remove, arrest, or just shoot anyone who isn’t basically a WASP. Fuck that. Diversity is what makes our country great.
Working title is “America the Beautiful”. Still stitching the words for the border. It’s a quote from Maya Angelou.

I’m so angry about our inept and corrupt “leaders” waging war on our own citizens and on Venezuela.
I’m coping by making a quilt that is the USA. Every color, pattern, weight, texture randomly put together without plan or design. This is us.

I started making these small quilted collages and they were just crying out to become a big bag. So here we are. I’ve already filled it with teaching supplies for my quilting class next week.

About half way done putting this together. 150 pieces of indigo dyed linens. It’s a little like a mosaic or a jigsaw puzzle.

I made a patchwork from all the Japanese shibori samples I created in Japan this past spring. Finally got around to making a back for it and am now hand quilting. The perfect project to work on when it’s cold outside!

I’m finally using some of the fabrics I created in the natural dye course from @maiwaschooloftextiles. I’m not sure how this will turn out but I’m liking it so far.

Stitches = mark-making = texture. Just finished this small piece of textile art.

Wonderful exhibit at the Bryggens Museum of the lifelong tapestry project by Norwegian weaver Ragna Breivik. She dyed her own wools with natural dyes. The tapestries are spectacular. And…there are trolls.

Just finished making the Sanda jacket. I made the quilted fabric and then put it all together. I washed it and that softened and crinkled up everything. I had to make hand-stitched buttonholes.
