@quiltboxes Thank you so much! I’m grateful to be part of #TVCoG and to know everyone I’ve met here. I appreciate all that you’ve done and continue to do to make it happen!

Congratulations @splicer - #MakerOfTheYear at Tech Valley Center of Gravity - well deserved!

"Rose of Sharon" was the design that motivated me to join the #TVCoG #makerspace to learn the laser cutter. This pattern wasn't one I wanted to cut on the scroll saw! #ArtAdventCalendar #marquetry #Quilt #QuiltBoxes

Years ago, Yamar and I were the members most likely to be waiting for you to get off the #laser at the #TVCoG #Makerspace in Troy, NY. Just after Thanksgiving, Yamar lost his storefront and workshop to a devastating fire, along with his holiday inventory and that of several other artists. Boosts appreciated, and please consider a small donation: https://gofund.me/cdf2f033

This is the traditional #Quilt pattern #StormAtSea (details in the Alt text). #ArtAdventCalendar #QuiltBoxes

We found a donation for the silent auction at the 10th Anniversary celebration for our makerspace (the Tech Valley Center of Gravity in Troy, NY).

When #QuiltBoxes was up and running before Covid, we made marquetry keepsake boxes, but to fill out the product line at craft shows, we also laser etched wooden trivets with quilt designs. See alt text for details. #fslaser #laser #tvcog #maker

We mentioned last week how robotaxi provider Cruise was having a no-good, very bad week, after one of their driverless taxis picked a fight with a semi, and it was revealed that amorous San Francis…

I designed and printed this #TVCoG bath bomb floating diffuser for our Program and Events Manager Liz's birthday (a couple days late). I tested it to make sure that it floats at least for a few minutes but I have no idea how it will work with fizzy bath bombs. So Liz's birthday present is basically that she gets to beta test my design. #MadeAtTheCoG #3DPrinting
