This is my sign for #NoKings on 3-28, but I’m hoping to use it for additional local protests against the proposed new #SanDiego jail

So many things to protest, I’ve got to start combining or there won’t be time to sew else 🙄

RE: @inarticulatequilter@mastodon.art

I love Arester Earl's story because it shows how downright determined quilters are to quilt 🥹

Shit, this is a powerful juxtaposition

Dr. Myrah Brown Green (1956-) got a C on her first quilt in art school (she left out the batting!) and didn’t take the craft back up for nearly 20 years. Now the world renowned artist and art historian is known for a quilting style that incorporates symbols from cultures around the globe, often with a focus on motherhood
