A new Defunctland means time to prep more English paper piecing hexagons - the fabric here is from printed flour/feedsacks circa the 1930-50s, which would have been repurposed for garments and quilts.

Want to mess with your perception of time? Forget to shut off the daylight-bright grow lamps you have in the window, which has the shade down & curtains drawn to keep out the nighttime cold.

I don't know at this point I think if you genuinely believe in the democratic party doing anything to protect us or anything even remotely helpful in any way you're a rube at best and actively delusional at worst.

the nazis and pro-nazi media blamed all the ills of german society on jewish people. it was how they primed the pump before the holocaust. if u dehumanize people and say they cause all the problems, it becomes easy to exterminate them.
the right is doing the same thing to immigrants.

I'm a little frustrated by UK artisans turning down my business on the assumption I won't want to pay for shipping and current tariff nonsense. I respect not wanting to do the paperwork or take on liability and refusing on those points, but I am very aware of costs and am trying to give you money. 😮💨
