our generals speak of love

One Poem. One Planet. April 4, 2017

There are people whose job
it is to pull bodies from rubble

How We Live Now

Tonight I can finally see the moon is a yellow boat capsizing in deep blue fear is worse when you do not see the face of those you fear   What is the worst thing? What is beyond… Read More

16 days in to my temperature dragon quilt, already have some drastic temperature shifts from about -10F to 34F. The cold end of the spectrum is fairly normal, and now unfortunately, the rain in Anchorage in January is, too. #temperaturequilt #temperaturequilt2022 #climatechange #climatecrisis

I think it wants to be a blue quilt.. I thought the burgundy was the dominant color but it said nah. And then I thought come on, tell the truth and that’s when the black declared itself. Black is strength. Black is the ink I write with. Black is wisdom. Black absorbs all the joy and pain and fear and love… definitely a work in progress. Thank you to @sherrilynnwood and Mary Margaret Pettway and all the other makers in today’s Floating Squares workshop. This was my first time working with this score but I think I like it. 😉I’m gonna take this challenge for a long walk now and come back and see what happens. Happy Saturday, friends. #bravepatchschool #abstractpiecing #improvquilting #wip #floatingsquaresscore

Bluebell is a dirty girl after a double batch of snickerdoodles. I wasn’t gonna bake in January to ease up on the butter intake, but someone is going snowmachining and needs trailsnacks.

I’m almost done! This is the one and only tease before I send it off to its new home with @kellygreenthumb00 #makeaminimakeafriend #mqgminiswap #mqgminiswap2022 #mqg

In case you hadn’t seen a pheasant pie go by in your feed tonight, here you go.

Course correction on day two of my Temperature Quilt—I’m abandoning the four patch and instead making a huge climate dragon thing. It’s going to be huge and ridiculous and the idea flew by in a dream last night. I have no idea what this year will hold for us, and I have no idea how this quilt will turn out. But I know I want it to be more than just a data collection piece. And I love going forward into the unknown. #quiltsofinstagram #temperaturequilt #temperaturequilt2022 #climatechange #climatecrisis
