Quilter’s Academy is a great series for improving your quilting skills! I did the project from the first book and learned a lot, even though I had been quilting for some years. One of the techniques was a way of joining blocks to minimize bumpy seams

Quilter’s Academy vol 1 - the cover of the book shows 4 pictures:
A stack of colorful quilting fabric
A paper with colored pencil drawing planning a quilt design
The quilt in progress with thread, rotary cutter and pins
A zoom of the center of the finished quilt, with pink, and dark and light greens in diagonal lines on a yellow background

My finished quilt top from following the Quilters Academy. It is wall hanging sized, the squares great strong diagonal lines - a small dark brown surrounded by a multicolored teal and green print (same fabric on the border), and a sharp lime green, all against a cream background. The fabrics were all from my stash, not purchased to go together, but it came out ok

A zoom of the back of my quilt showing the technique from the Quilters Academy where the seams at the center of the four square block twirl around, and are flat when ironed rather than a bulky lump

I just saw a really good thread by @dataandpolitics.bsky.social I’m sorry I don’t know how to link to it but here’s a screenshot

Data Bear @dataandpolitics.bsky.social made a really good thread about the stock market, explaining what are futures, and other stock related info like margins

This is a screenshot of the first post: “I’m not an investor, but I have more knowledge than the average Bear
“The futures market is showing heavy losses ahead of market open
“What are futures?
“They’re essentially bets on where the market will go
“Futures are contracts to buy/sell assets at predetermined prices on future dates”
