Created more hearts to spread peace and love in my community by leaving for others to find. Sometimes leaving them at medcenters where someone facing difficult/frightening situations might need a little love in this world where hate is normalized. #quiltedhearts, #quiltsky, #sewing, #quilting

Still spreading peace and love by leaving these for others everywhere I go. Trying to fight hate one heart at a time. #quiltedhearts , #quilting , #peace, #sewing

As an old lady quilter on the eve of the no kings protest, I’m honoring the hippies who came before me, I’m doing the peace love thing by leaving hearts like these around town for others to find and keep. Love and peaceful protests conquers hate. #quiltedhearts , #peace, #quilting

Finished my Van Gogh ish quilt, it is just a throw size. Salute to Van Gogh when he was in the mental hospital working on his irises, so I created a window perspective. #quiltsky , #quilting, #quilts , #sewing .

I finally finished ripping out stitches, replacing them, then binding it. It’s on queen size bed for size comparison. So many mistakes in this but finally completed. Entire thing is pieced together with 2” wide triangles in 4 fabrics. Took months to do. #quilting , #quilts , #quiltsky , #sewing .

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally.

Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared."

Lake County library leaders expect to see more challenged books
A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, according to the American Library Association. Challenges lead to censorship.

Women comprise over 50% of our population. We shouldn’t have to fight for equality but here we are. So here’s my salute to strong women everywhere, starting with Susan B Anthony and RBG. #sewing, #womensrights , #motivation #equality ,

Working on this Van Gogh-ish window quilt. On my design wall tonight. Trying to decide on the border colors because it’s a tad too small without borders. Quilting keeps me somewhat sane during these insane days. #quiltsky , #quilts, #sewing , #quilting .
