Melt the ice, knitting in solidarity from Italy.

We wake with
no words, just woe
& wound. Our own country shoot
ing us in the back is not just brutal
ity; it's jarring betrayal; not enforcement,
but execution. A message: Love your people & you

Pretty sure everyone who saw me post about #AmandaGorman’s poem the other day knew this quilt top was coming
I’d also like to thank @kristinHenry, who’s recent ink drawings of the MN flag gave me inspiration when I was looking for the perfect complement to Gorman’s words
Painting snow, at the weekend.
Today’s walk, along an old wall marking the 🇫🇷🇨🇭border in the Jura mountains was almost entirely over deep frozen moss, covering everything in a springy layer of green.
Have you ever wondered what a fleece jacket would turn into if you left it in the woods? I wonder how long it took for this one to turn into a mossy sculpture? These are deep, deep woods, and we were far from a path.
Just gorgeous, haunted landscapes.
