Crater Lake awesomeness. Also, someday I’ll learn to smile appropriately in a selfie. Will let you know when it happens. #craterlakenationalpark

Made it to see StitchPunk in Grants Pass, Oregon. #artquilt #stitchpunk

More Lassen: hiking, volcanic stuff, and drawing #drawsincampgrounds #lassenvolcanicnationalpark

Hello Lassen Volcanic National Park… #lassenvolcanicnationalpark #drawsincampgrounds

I would need another 90 minutes to finish the right side (it’s very long), but I have to be up early…so I’ll finish it in August. I got much farther than I thought I would, so I’m good. #artquilt #humanrights

Outline quilting is done…background tomorrow? #artquilt #humanrights

Quilted today, but also packed 6 quilts for an upcoming show. #artquilt #humanrights

Started quilting…plus there’s no way I’m going to finish underglazing this before I leave…oh well! #artquilt #humanrights #ceramicsculpture

Pinbasted, ready to quilt. #artquilt #humanrights

Still stitching…thought I would finish today, but I prepped all my fabric for dye painting instead. #artquilt #humanrights

Stitchdown has commenced. Sewing machine is cranky. We’ve had a talk and a cleaning. Methinks it’s menopausal. #artquilt #humanrights

Finally together! And I think I found all the missing pieces 😂 #artquilt #humanrights

I’ve got another 150 pieces and I’m done…tomorrow? Hopefully. #artquilt #humanrights

Limited ironing time today (still in chaos mode), due to hanging out with this longtime friend… #artquilt #humanrights

Absolute ironing chaos at the moment. #artquilt #humanrights

Took some time out from considering democracy to iron some stuff…officially halfway. #artquilt #humanrights

Still not halfway…just in the complicated center space. #artquilt #humanrights

I’ll be ironing for a while… #artquilt #humanrights

Ah, my favorite part of the process… #artquilt #humanrights

Finished cutting everything out and sorting…now to put it all together. #artquilt #humanrights

I colored today. #ceramicsculpture

Cutting things out with lap assistant. #artquilt #humanrights

I built some crazy things today that will hopefully survive, and hit 10 1/2 hours of trimming little pieces of fabric. Still can’t see the bottom of the box. #artquilt #humanrights #ceramicsculpture

Lots of trimming today…never seems like much. #artquilt #humanrights

I actually started trimming yesterday, but I finished ironing stuff to fabric today. #artquilt #humanrights

I need another 90 minutes to finish, but I have to be up early… #artquilt #humanrights

So close! Only a couple hundred pieces left. #artquilt #humanrights

Finally back to the ironing! I had a great time, but fabric meditation wins out. #artquilt #humanrights

Last day in SF: taught the girlchild to embroider/embellish her clothes while I worked on the squirrel, drew at dinner, and marveled at art. #embroidery

SF Day 2: with @margaretfabrizio, World Cup, bridges, and embroidery (yes, I stitched during two games).
