One Poem. One Planet. April 26, 2017

26.

Notebook Fragment

The king boletus is perfect
for days like this when you could really use
a forest mushroom to retaliate on cruelty—
a round proud audacious head
pushing out of the loamy ground
is a ruddy forehead to stomp, a bloated face
to kick.

–Arlitia Jones, April 26, 2017

I learned a new block! Thank you @curatedquilts for the instructions on this harmony block. Popping it in the mail in the morning. Can’t wait to see the Harmony Quilt when it’s all put together. #curatedquilts #harmonyquilt #harmonyblock #mqg #quiltcon2022

At that awkward gawky stage where it might not come together but maybe it will and it’s terrible right now but maybe it will get better. Story of my life. #quiltsofinstagram #leaflightstudio #mentalhealthday

Dear Winter,

The miracle of this color combination, it gets me every year.

I made…. Baguettes? 🤣Something went horribly wrong on the transfer from counter to oven. They taste good. But mama knows those are ugly children. Whew. #sourdoughfail

I’m not going to bed because it’s almost 3 am. I’m going to bed because I’m starting to sew things in backwards by accident and I’m liking it. I’ll see how I feel when I wake up. Goodnight, friends. #quiltsofinstagram
