Enjoying connecting with people here. I'm interested in history, science, art, archaeology, farming, linguistics, justice work, and religion. Copyeditor, quilter, darner, birder, winter lover, pluviophile, night-sky watcher, cloud admirer. She/her. I live in New Jersey.

@checkervest One summer I worked for an idle rich woman who, among other things, wanted the soap in her powder room to look new, so I had to clean it. Get those dirty old bubbles off!

@inarticulatequilter I made one, an hourglass/ninepatch, using only fabrics with winter themes: snowflakes, snowmen, mittens, etc. (I avoided Xmas as much as possible). The batting is cotton and I use it in summer to remind me that cooler days are coming. Here's a pic of the flimsy.
