I've been saying from election night that we would see an arch Duke Fernand moment in the first year. I didn't expect it in the first month. What an utter embarrassment.

I went to the office today. The view is amazing, but I've only been back 3 times since Covid. With all the RTO nonsense, I'm so happy to work for a company that voted to stay home & celebrates the benefits as one of our greatest advantages. I don't ever worry about being asked to return.

My brother asked me to repair this quilt for him after my nephew, his only child, died in Sept. It was made (terribly) by my grandmother, who wasn't always a good person. I am taking it apart stitch by stitch to re-quilt the top on to new backing. It's like I'm healing generational trauma.

Sewing friends: I found this address on another site. The Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation are asking for donations of fabric, notions, and patterns. If you're doing spring cleaning maybe consider these folks.

Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road?

Don't fill up on bread
I say absent-mindedly
The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be
receding a bit, says
Did you really just
say that to me?

What he doesn't know
is that when we're walking
together, when we get
to the curb
I sometimes start to reach
for his hand

—Robert Hershon

Update on the Bernina 730 learning curve. Use different backing, don't spray the fabric adhesive like aquanet in 1987.

Thank you, my friend. Maybe I'll make you one sometime & then you can have 2 scarves from me, 40 years apart. One for our youth & one for our beautiful boys.

I wish I remembered all the patterns I've used for these, but I kind of made them in a fog. I really like how the black one turned out. 🏳️‍🌈🧶

This is my grieving mama big girl britches week. I've been making these pride scarves off & on to donate to our local queer youth center in memory of my son. I've done a lot of work on unfinished conversations & letting go. It's time. 🧶🏳️‍🌈

I want it to curl a little less. It curls up even more when I'm wearing it.

Malibrigo yarn in Frank Ochre, so insanely soft! And yes, that's my Progressive apron in the background, such an amazing company to work for, especially these days.
