I'm in my usual stage of agonizing about how I want to quilt this Exploding Heart quilt top. It's to be a wedding gift, and I always go through agonies of indecision when deciding what to do about quilting motifs. This one measures 72" x 72”, so it will be a challenge on my domestic machine.

#DogsofMastodon Public Service Announcement: Flea season is approaching in the west and is likely here in the #PNW due to a mild mild winter.
All corporate flea medicines are pesticides. but some of the new ones - that your Vet will tell you are perfectly safe - are incredibly dangerous. Specifically products containing Isoxazoline (brand names: Bravecto, Nexgard, Credelio, and Simparica (brand names for fluralaner, afoxolaner, lotilaner, and sarolaner)).

Please please consider other means of flea control for the pets you love.

No matter how stealthy I try to be, no matter how deeply Chouchou appears to be sleeping, she immediately awakens when I point the camera in her direction. She always looks at me as if to say, “Why do you torment me with that thing?” #DogsOfMastodon #Dog
Seems to have fixed itself with a restart.

Breaking hearts in Quakertown, Pennsylvania 💔

High school students were peacefully protesting when police allegedly escalated it after claiming snowballs were thrown. The chief in plainclothes put a teenage girl in a chokehold before others stepped in to protect her.

No child should face violence for demanding justice. ✊💙
