A work in progress no kings protest quilt block. 3 pointed yellow and orange printed fabric cut to resemble a crown. It is surrounded by a hand embroidered black Circle on a light blue background that has a slightly darker blue star. A slash will be added in the future.
I am working on a No Kings protest quilt.

Truth Quilt
Middle of the quilt with some "truths" and a burn mark showing TRUTH coming through.
Close up of a burn mark and a partial "truth".
Close up of a few "truths".
I finally finished my latest art quilt, TRUTH. On New Year's Day 2026, I was thinking of all the lies told on Truth Social in a year. I went through all the posts by Trump for 2025 and decided to put them on fabric. The blue spots are TRUTH burning through all the lies. #QuiltSky #protestquilt 1/2
My “America the Beautiful” quilt. Right now our country seems pretty ugly. Trump wants to remove, arrest, or just shoot anyone who isn’t straight, white, Christian, and male. Fuck that. Diversity is what makes our country great.

A quilt pieced to look like a sheet of lined paper with quilted words quoting from the Declaration of Independence
I just finished binding this second iteration of the Declaration of Independence.
I think I'm going to push the next version towards increased verisimilitude and legibility on the next version.

My sewjo is back. At least enough to make one thing for now. I'm making a 5' x 2' quilted bad word that could be used as a flag or wall hanging. It's a test run for a much larger protest quilt I want to make. #sewing #quilting #crafting #protestquilt #protest
I've been hugely impressed with the gorgeous and angry #protestquilt hashtag on Instagram...
Working title is “America the Beautiful”. Still stitching the words for the border. It’s a quote from Maya Angelou.

I’m so angry about our inept and corrupt “leaders” waging war on our own citizens and on Venezuela.
I’m coping by making a quilt that is the USA. Every color, pattern, weight, texture randomly put together without plan or design. This is us.

I received a new block from a bee mate and it's joined the others from my #beeacraftivist group. My goal is to have a red, white and blue protest quilt.

Work in progress - ran out of fabric, but I'll be increasing the border.

A quilt commemorating the 250th anniversary that I hope we celebrate next year as a nation. Monkey Wrench blocks to remind me to keep preparing, and North Star blocks to focus me on the goals. Agencies, organizations, and laws that are critical to our infrastructure are stitched into the fabric, along with the words that have greeted generations of immigrants at our NY shoreline. The initials of family members who actually were brave on behalf of our democracy are a contrast to those who claim they’re acting in our best interests.
The words that have greeted generations of immigrants at our NY shoreline: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tost, to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

My creative catharsis of 2025: a quilt commemorating the 250th anniversary that I hope we celebrate next year as a nation. Documenting these ideals now so that hopefully we remember that they once existed… #ThisismyAmerica #protestquilt 🇺🇸
Quilt in progress with blue and white North Star and Monkey Wrench blocks. Embroidered with Land of the Free* (*conditions apply), USA 1776-2026?, and Home of the Brave.
Hand-stitching the binding on my #protestquilt because I need to keep from doomscrolling! Land of the free* (*conditions apply)
A quilt designed to look like a sheet of notebook paper is laid out on green grass. It features large, bold embroidered text that reads: “THIS IS THE PART OF HISTORY THAT MAKES SCHOOL KIDS ASK WHY DIDN’T ANYONE DO ANYTHING TO STOP THEM?” The words “PART OF HISTORY” are in blue, while the final four lines, beginning with “WHY DIDN’T,” are in red, emphasizing urgency and alarm. The rest of the text is in black.
Don’t know that I need to say anything more about this.

Protest quilt: American flag with oversized white stripes. White thread quilted into the surface reads: "white supremacy is the single most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland"
To honor the birthday of my country, I made a #protestquilt.
#modernquilt #artquilt
Protest sign: quilted United States flag pieced with uneven stripes. Words stitched into the quilt with white thread say "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
Oligarchy kills democracy. The top 1% owns or controls 16 times more wealth than half the collective population. They buy power to entrench their privilege.
In such a case, equality is nothing more than an Orwellian fairy story.
Happy Independence Day.

A person holding a quilted sign at the no kings protest in St. Paul, MN. The sign says “Make Orwell & Atwood Fiction Again” in red letters and features the covers of the books 1984 and The Handmaids Tale.
So proud of Minnesota for showing up at the No Kings rallies across the state while a politically motivated assassin was on the loose. This is me at the rally in St. Paul with my newest quilted sign.
