Colorful quilt of a nighttime scene with Harriet Tubman in an orange jacket and purple dress carrying a rifle. She is leading other figures who walk behind her.
Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting
Thank you kind cheerleader 🫶🏻

The shattered cup breaks her concentration. A dust pan picks up the fragments. A towel sops up tea from a ratty carpet.
"I shall scream if I see a mouse again."
