Making my original contemporary art quilts is my passion and my sanity as I try to piece together imaginary landscapes of time and space. www.etsy.com/shop/annbrauer

Thanks so much.

What an interesting order--I need to piece a table runner in many different fabrics to create an overall color. It is more difficult than I thought to keep variety without having any one strip dominate. #workinprogress #piecing #quiltstudio #customorder

What fun I had working with this delightful couple to create the perfect quilt for their home. Doesn't it look great here? Just the right amount of color and joy. What do you think? #customorder #quilt #artquilt #women'sart #quiltstudio #shelburnefalls

Too funny. I mentioned that when I get down about the overall situation these days, I check on the frogs and other wonderful creatures in Portland. She replied that for the line dancing she leads she played "Jeremiah" since he was a bull frog to give herself a bit of comfort.

It's hard to believe that the Paradise City Marlborough Show is just over a month away. I guess it is pedal to the medal time. Yikes. #paradisecityarts #artquilts #finecraftshow #marlborough #madebymaker #quiltsky #quiltstudio

I have read Qatar gave Hamas over $1 Billion. This is not right.

Mickey Kuhns @mickeykuhns.bsky.social · 8d

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Ann Brauer @annies330.bsky.social · 8d

This SHOULD be a post in The Onion but I don't think it is.

National Security Counselors 🕵 @nationalsecuritylaw.org · 9d

Here's the framing we should put on this.

"Hegseth announces that sharia law will apply to part of Idaho AF base"

Yes Qatar is governed by sharia law. UAE is more complicated but it partially follows sharia.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 9d

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Thanks Page.

Ann Brauer @annies330.bsky.social · 9d

I think I must read this article when I get a chance. What a scary concept.

Doktor Zoom @doktorzoom.bsky.social · 9d

Excellent thread!

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 9d

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

And now for the machine quilting. What fun I am having working with these colors! #quilting #artquilt #quiltstudio #workinprogress #shelburnefalls

And I have a bridge to sell you....

I’m sure Trump will post a heartfelt and sincere congratulatory message to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as any president with class and dignity would do.

Thank you.
