Omg the Mary Fons video! Launched a million arguments in every direction! (Thank you for mentioning me!)

"Maybe it’s worth looking at discussions and disagreements as an ongoing part of participating in a community."

I think this is a concept that is feeling more lost as we progress further into being way too connected online. I was just talking with someone about the lack of ability many have to accept the nooks and crannies of the "grey area" and exercising a certain level of empathy when discussing complicated topics.

My sister was actually a quilter by profession until a few years ago because of a lot of the complexities you mentioned - but I will take this moment to sing her praises and show off her incredible talent because I'm forever a proud sister https://www.instagram.com/p/BWikzoFH4UH/

I would love to see some of your quilts- your scrap haul alone is dreamy!!

What workshop series did you watch? I bought a vintage all metal Kenmore sewing machine but have never used it. I really want to learn how to sew when I have adequate space for a crafting area.

I have a vintage hand stitched quilt I got at a thrift store for $13, and it is one of my favorite things I’ve thrifted. The time that went into it is so evident. I placed it at the foot of my bed and took it off after I saw little claw marks. My cats loved sleeping on it, but the little claw pricks made me go 😱 It’s a hard line of not being precious with your stuff and not enjoying it when you live in a studio apartment with pets!
