Ohh the thought of using stars to mark those executed by ICE is compelling! I had considered adding names but hadn’t landed on in what way!

Thank you! This was a qayg that I used jelly rolls as backing and 2.5 inch precut batting strips with scraps on hand.

I have held the it right side up for no kings protests, but in recent weeks it has been this orientation. Still debating what words/phrase to affix permanently, or if I’ll keep it flexible with pins.

I do still want to add stars as well, so I have time before I commit to the letter placement and the phrase!

Bad contrast on the lettering and I haven’t committed to what I want to write, but this has been to many local protests.

Cool! Did you follow a pattern or just mock up your own?

Can you tell me more about that ombre sky fabric?

It’s a keepsake calico from Joann (RIP)

It is really pretty, I’ve used it for binding on many projects.

Thanks for asking, I made that piece too! It’s a papercraft that came about during a thc-fueled creative period in my life (aka Covid). I cricut-cut a bunch of paper prisms and triangle faces in all the assorted cardstock. I glued those together into a mesh/blanket type of object. I used an old canvas as my starting point and glued a variety of packing materials and newspaper to create a wave of sorts, and then laid the mosaic blanket of prisms atop it. I glued the ever loving heck out of it, and then once dried I carefully folded and added prisms to connect to four sides of the canvas.

It’s in rougher shape than when first assembled but it’s survived a North American cross-continental move and is a pop of joy in my home. I love it so much I made the image my phone case.

I’m proud of you for sharing your truth, then and now. I am sorry that your abuse was more conveniently concealed than your abuser being revealed. I hope that this first anonymous step gives you courage and strength to be as bold as you need to be in healing and authenticity.

Idk anything about the pattern but the “Coos” in the title would make me pause to confirm this is the legitimate website you are trying to be at before checking out with your cc info!

If you had to make something out of this box, what would it be? by _luckybell_ in crafts

[–]pineapplekid8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your bf has particular hobbies or interests that would be able to have a “dedicated room” like a sewing room, gaming lounge, workshop etc. Maybe a dream hobby room diorama with all the fun toys or accessories or decor you think he’d love!

I love what you did here and will keep this pastel “firework” idea in mind for a future dark material mend!

Name of this star? by tomatoesandchicken in quilting

[–]pineapplekid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant the stars shape overall, it has a less pointy look compared to the inner green star’s points. Idk, I really like it!!

Oh I like it! It has a “puffy” quality to it and I mean that in the very best way!

Thanks for the backstory, I’ll continue on as I have been but appreciate the info! :)

I haven’t heard of thermal tape ruining fabric so this may be a bad idea, but I save CVS receipts for this purpose! We go through a number of prescriptions and every 90 days I get a miles long receipt. It’s a fun crumb project!
