🕊 makers gonna make 🕊

there are quilters among us ... and we are peacemakers 

several weeks ago a gathering of protesters embellished rectangles of fabric with positive messages of peace, resistance, defiance, hope, equality, inclusion, liberty

 and this was created...

(yes, the sky was this blue yesterday and the grass was this green)

i dunno if ALL of the written words are positive cuz i haven't read them all

but I DO know that MOST of the people who gather on these corners every saturday morning with their signs and banners 

are aware of the dangers we are facing as a nation of laws 

and are shocked, appalled and angry

 AND are hopeful and committed to peace

 and to making sense and decency common again...

blessed are the piecemakers and the peacemakers...

just sayin'

also, release the Epstein and Homan files

it bears repeating...

here are some links to broaden knowledge on  AUTISM and  AUTISM and AUTISM 

and here are links with information about the medication Acetominophen and Acetaminophen 

 if you have trouble pronouncing Acetaminophen (like Thing One), it is often referred to as Tylenol

in the World according to me 

Thing One's TYLENOL hoax  announcement is a DANGEROUS (and despicable) distraction serving as another example of the fact that he doesn't give a flying leap at a rolling donut about women or children 

just sayin' 

also, release the Epstein files and, while you're at it, release the Homan files

friendship month

there is a new pop-up statue on the National Mall  to celebrate Friendship Month

(available for viewing till sunday at 8pm eastern)*

just sayin'

*edit - early removal  “due to it not being in compliance with the permit.” 

yeah, sure - we're totally buying that line

like i said, just sayin'

release the Epstein files 

Charlotte Elizabeth Hazeltyne Whitton 🇨🇦

 

the twelfth block of 150 Canadian Women is called  Hourglass Two and is dedicated to Charlotte Elizabeth Hazeltyne Whitton

Melissa's block 12

dianne's block 12

twelve weeks done and 138 to go (give or take six)

fourth and long

there may have been even more anxiety (being designated as the enemy within, labeled a radical-extremist-leftist-marxist-communist-socialist, and losing rights that have been protected by the Constitution for centuries might have something to do with elevated blood pressure and panic attacks) and stabby stabbying the past few days cuz another skein is gone

anywho...

it's gonna take at least one more skein for this border

(the fabric was torn at 18" by 56" and will be trimmed to 12" x 48" after the embroidery is done and it has been pressed)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

free speech in the USA?!?

it seems the First Amendment has been violated by Thing One Administration's FCC

 and Disney bent the knee ... again

 after voting with my checkbook by cancelling our Disney+ subscription today, we found this replacement:

The New Disney

you can vote with your ballot AND with your wallet

also, release the Epstein files

morning, glory

kinda glorious, huh?!?

unpleasant

just sayin' 

also, release release the Epstein files 

squirrel! Squirrel!! SQUIRREL!!!

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'

also, release the Epstein files

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)

Slava Ukraini

how many?

artwork may be by Mary Engelbreit - it came to me without a signature 

Not one.

attempted murder - part three

 

ugh ... the air quality was 143 (smoke from wildfires) when this picture was taken and the colors are not true 

 but the stitching is done - yay!!!

on a lighter note...

mine, too...

one heartbeat

he is one heartbeat away from the presidency...

eleven human beings, suspected of being narco-terrorists, were blown out of international waters  by the U.S. military under the orders of Thing One

the government of the United States is BRAGGING about it

and Thing Two is totally okay with being a war criminal 

 he doesn't "give a shit" about the Rule of Law or Due Process, International law or basic human rights 

judge,  jury and executioner - literally

one heartbeat, one breath from being the president

who will  be targeted next?

and who else is keeping receipts for the reckoning when this insanity is over?

 askin' for a friend

also, release the Epstein files

twisted mind

 this is insane ... is Thing One not just an evil, self-serving malignant narcissist, but also effing crazy?!?

 those three helicopter icons?

 according to my research they are "symbols the right wing uses to represent former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s goons’ disappearing political opponents by pushing them out of helicopters"

he has the might of the American military

 and the codes to 3748 nuclear warheads at his fingertips...

no liberal tears here

 (i am not, believe it or don't, a liberal) 

 i'm shouting ... no, screaming: 

DANGER - Stand your ground!!! 

There is no one coming to help - it's on US to stop this insanity - for our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren.

just sayin' 

also, release the Epstein files
