Nellie (Taylor) Yip Quong 🇨🇦

the eleventh block of 150 Canadian Women is called  4 Knaves and is dedicated to Nellie Yip Quong

Melissa's block 11

dianne's block 11

eleven weeks done and 139 to go (give or take six)

3 skeins and me

the left border, three skeins of DMC 502, my needle and my anxiety  - we're a team 

flooding the zone

well, Chicago is standing ground and there have been no riots or other excuses to declare martial law... 

time to distract in a different direction...

another day, another city - now it's Memphis' turn in the barrel 

let's try something new - blue city/county with black mayors in a RED state  - it was going to be New Orleans,  but maybe Moses (Mike) Johnson discouraged that idea (there are midterms to consider and he can't be Speaker if he loses his seat, now can he? not legally,  anyway)...

are you distracted from the miserable state of the economy and losing your healthcare because the ACA premiums will skyrocket in a few weeks?!? have you forgotten about Russia attacking Poland with 19 drones from multiple directions and the fact that it was NOT a "mistake"?!? how 'bout the US military bombing a boat carrying eleven civilians SUSPECTED of being "narco-terrorists" (ask yourself why it takes ELEVEN  drug dealers to navigate a 16-24 foot boat to smuggle drugs) in international waters off of Venezuela, seemingly without attempting to intercept it? and how 'bout no end in sight to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine? or Israel attacking Qatar? or what appears to be the Groyper on TPUSA murder that had Red Hats demanding civil war on the Democrats and the left?!? and have you forgotten the kidnappings and disappearings of thousands (by masked,  armed men in full tactical gear) who have brown skin, work low-paying jobs and speak a language other than English - including US citizens -  and SCOTUS ruling that this obvious racial profiling is not unconstitutional? or another school shooting in a mountain school that didn't have a full time resource officer because mountain schools are safer than suburban and urban schools?!? 

don't look here - you're not seeing what you're seeing- look over there

just sayin'

8 Missions in Ukraine by Artur Rehi

Esther Marjorie Hill 🇨🇦

 the tenth block of 150 Canadian Women is called  Sugar Bowl, but it looks like a devil and we didn't want it in our True North quilts

Melissa's block 10 on the left and dianne's block 10 on the right 

 so we substituted the (paper-pieced) Courthouse Steps block and it is dedicated to Esther Marjorie Hill

ten weeks done and 140 to go (give or take six)

there  was a delay in finishing our blocks (sunday's hours were committed to our First Amendment rights and peace - there weren't enough hours left  for piecing quilt blocks)
