This tiny quilt (32” x 48”) is officially my favorite thing I ever made 😊 It incorporates my love of scraps & color theory in a way that feels very ME. It was a very challenging puzzle I enjoyed. I will pursue this technique further! #QuiltSky

A small quilt in the double four patch pattern which is constructed of smaller squares and larger squares arranged in patterns of dark and light so as to create diagonal stripes in small dark fabrics from top left to bottom right, and the same but in light fabrics from top right to bottom left. The light squares are various cream colored prints while the darker prints smoothly flow from teals and aquas at the top through browns, pinks, and purples toward the bottom

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

The 3-day nor’easter flattened my marigolds but it’s very pretty out there this morning 🌱

These chairs in the Leonard Joel auction catalogue this week look like they were drawn by Saul Steinberg, or Jean-Jaques Sempé, or Louis Bemelmans, who did the Madeleine books ... #cartoon #chairs

Some very curly French-y wrought iron black chairs against a grey background, that look like they were drawn by a cartoonist.
