Yesterday a store clerk said to me, “happy Mother’s Day, if you’re a mom.” I thought that was an interesting way to cover all of the bases.

a designer on TT who used to work for the NASA sewing department mentioned that if we wanted a garment production industry in the US, the solution would be subsidized trade schools and childcare, and affordable housing and groceries, not ~gestures~

It looks so good, and so comfy ❤️

The number of times I burn myself on the oven racks….

Thanks. I have done that - it’s separating the different groups I didn’t know how to do! I just need to sit sound and spend some time learning the app. Just like I tell my students - it’s not going to get better if you don’t practice hahaha

Fantastic. Thank you. I guess I need to spend some time organizing and then I’ll be happier. This is very helpful

My struggle is that I want to read breaking news and see quilt photos in different realms. In the old days I was a twitter lurker to keep up on news and used IG for the visuals. Now I don’t know how to manage it.

Today feels like spring may come along some day. Hope!

Brilliant! I was literally just thinking of making pattern weight type bean bags to hold a book open. This might be a better solution.

👋 I saw your email. I’ll reply soon, but yes let’s chat!

Thank you! And I didn’t know your studies were in GIS. So great.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

In all fairness, I’m still waiting for the weight loss. But overall, everything is better.

Excellent

At least by then. It was pretty fast for me. I’ve been on it for a year and am super happy that I didn’t wait longer

It was a game changer for me

You know I love this 😀

Exactly my thoughts
