A side reason I like making kid-sized quilts is that they fit pretty nicely on my sewing table + cabinet when I have the machine lowered to make one big surface area.
Latest postcard has made it to the wall of fame :-) thanks, @screendoorpictures.com 😎💜
Another kid quilt finished, washed and ready to send off to quiltsforkids.org I got a bit behind the last few months, so I’m working on two more to catch up. Stay tuned! #quiltsky
My friend Kyle sends me postcards from wherever he’s shooting and I love the memories each place evokes of my own travels. Yes, I do have a wall of them, @screendoorpictures.com and now you know those postcards have pride of place in my home 💜
Sudden storm, sounded like a freight train for 10 min. Downdraft or Tornado, who knows. But it shredded trees and a carport in my apartment complex. Lost power briefly. #Lancaster #PAweather
Here’s a trail in Massachusetts, from my visit there last summer.
Spotted the first daylilies of the season Saturday. Makes me ridiculously happy when they debut for the season.
Could not be a more start illustration of the division between political parties in the USA. 70% of GOP people surveyed believe that Trump made the right decision, despite rising oil prices and follow-on inflation.
It’s different, but it can be addicting. I do it in the evening, very peaceful doing hand sewing.
From Lancaster, PA #NoKings meant four marches to the central rally point
Getting this quilt top ready to go to the longarm quilter. Between the fabric & the design, I decided my eyes would go crazy trying to do even simple stitch-in-the-ditch quilting, so I’ll pay for this one. My go-to quilter does such excellent work (Guided Star Quilting, here in Lancaster PA).
Oh, for Pete’s sake, I’m looking at snow flurries out my window. It was 79F yesterday. So here’s some daffodils from yesterday’s visit to Longwood Gardens. May in-the-wild daffodils spring up soon near me! C
Seeing little crocus flowers is the first real sign of Spring to me. This was today at Longwood Gardens, a quick trip to see the blue poppies, which were cool. But the crocus flowers were the best, because I’m so over winter.
Current project. Current mood. Started last weekend as the bombs fell half a world away. I’m still sewing in between contacting my congressional reps. The bombs are still falling. People are still dying, half a world away.

“Allow yourself to be affected by the world around you.” (Source: For Such a Time as This, by Hanna Reichel) Yes, fight for justice. And yes to moments of beauty like this morning’s sunrise.
I was at a museum I. Baltimore today that featured artwork by a Holocaust survivor. The parallels of her story (told in more than a dozen artworks) made me see so clearly ICE is the American Gestapo now, the behaviors she described, we see on today’s news reports.
In happier news than what you’ve probably been reading today, I finished my first “kid quilt” of 2026. I had fun doing a crazy geometric-style quilting & added it in purple to the white border. Feels good to have made something to pass along some love & kindness in this crazy world.
I received my intent earrings today, and they are wonderful, and inspire me to EXPLORE (my 2026 word). Thank you for the creative push I know I’ll need this year, looking at these earrings in the mirror will remind me to get out there.
This morning’s walk at Cape May, NJ. The light was amazing and the ocean never disappoints.
I loved that exhibit! So much fun spotting outfits amidst the other treasures of the Louvre!
Big flowers and blue skies from Pennsylvania, hope this makes your day at least a tiny bit better.
Here’s a bonus shot, then! I love the English cathedrals, been lucky to visit a dozen of them over the years. Each is amazing it its own way.
