@amarar_creacions has a new block out today to joi

@amarar_creacions has a new block out today to join in to the Quilt Block Mania blog hop. I was delighted to test her Origami Paper Plane pattern. @amarar_creacions has just released a quilt to go with this block which is amazing. I am working on it now and will share progress soon. Catalina has offered a special discount on the full pattern, see her site for details.
I used @carolynfriedlander fabrics for this block and in the full mini quilt (in progress). Her ledger fabric is one of my all time favourites and is perfect for paper airplanes, and just about everything else.

Equity in Education is the topic for the August block for #sjsabom
This block was designed by @benmillett who was inspired by Stephanie B, a SJSA youth activist/artist.
This block speaks about the desperate inequity in education for students of colour. 2nd photo explains more of the symbolism of the 6 lines and the 4 pencils.
The book Pushout by @monique.w.morris is a must read educators, parents, and everyone else. Eye-opening and wonderfully written!

My wonderful mum, Eileen Alexander, made the Brae block from the #summersampler2020 for the #summersampleralumniquilt. This block was designed by @missmake. My mum is not on social media but I wanted to share it, because I am proud of her and the block. Gorgeous block and I am so thankful for her desire to help.

@mringer58 and I requested black and white blocks made from the current or past Summer Samplers to honour the Black Lives Matter movement and to directly benefit the Social Justice Sewing Academy. We will be auctioning the finished quilt in the autumn. @sjsacademy enables youth activists to be seen and heard through the medium of fabric. So many brilliant blocks have already been made and shared.

I have spent the last two weeks learning about #atatianajefferson for a project with @sew4justice_sjsa

Atatiana (Tay) Jefferson was a 28 year old pre-med student, who was shot in her home on October 12, 2019, by UNANNOUNCED police. She was playing video games with her 8 year old nephew, when a neighbour called the non emergency police line because her door was open and wanted someone to check if she was ok. Senseless violence has no place in our world, especially against Black people doing things that white people take for granted (playing video games, bird watching, listening to music, sleeping...) Her mother said, ‘You were going to change the world. I believe you still will.’ Remember her! People need to wake up to this violence, change their thinking, and stop this brutality.

A little more progress on the portrait of #atatianajefferson for @sjsacademy

Starting to translate an idea into a piece to celebrate the life of #atatianajefferson and to highlight lives lost from violence. Atatiana was 28 when she was shot by police while playing video games at home with her 8 year old nephew. The absurdity of this violence is overwhelming.

When upside down (photo 2), it reminds me of Bray (Brae in Irish) Head, with the sea at the bottom.

I am partnering with Mary Ringer @mringer58 to request black and white blocks made from the current or past Summer Samplers to honour the Black Lives Matter movement and to directly benefit the Social Justice Sewing Academy. @sjsacademy enables youth activists to be seen and heard through the medium of fabric. Mary and I have been inspired by the quilt that the Summer Sampler designers are making this year to proclaim that Black Lives Matter (Check out the #summersamplerblm tag on Instagram). Our quilt, which will be an alumni quilt from any of the summer samplers, will be auctioned in October, and all of the proceeds will go to SJSA. We’ll be using the hashtag #summersampleralumniquilt. We will be collecting blocks for this project until the end of August, but blocks can be sent to Mary as soon as they are ready. We need a total of 16 Summer Sampler blocks, so people will need to let us know which block they plan to make. There are only two blocks that aren’t an option to choose: the Summer Kites block designed by Katie Blakesley, which Mary made, and the Fierce block by Kitty Wilkin, that I made. ***Check below for a list of blocks that have been picked already***Mary will be sewing the blocks into a quilt top, and I will do the quilting. If you’re interested in making one of the Summer Sampler blocks to donate to this project, please let us know.
*
Blocks already chosen: Lakeside, Dandelion Clock, Birds Eye Weave, Oasis, Tide Pool, Sparkler, Rope Twist, Infinite Pinwheels, Fish Rack, Direction, Convergence, Mission Beach, Off Kilter, Brae, Summer Kites, and Fierce.

My Irish 🇮🇪 wall hanging counterpart to my #journeyhomequilt (see yesterday’s post). I pattern tested 2 sizes (baby and wall hanging/cushion) for @bloomingpoppies. This pattern would be amazing in so many colour ways and fabrics! Quilt a long is starting next week.
My lads still think of Ireland as home (me too), but we love Colorado, except for the melting heat in summer.

One of the two April blocks for the @sjsacademy BO

One of the two April blocks for the @sjsacademy BOM. This block is all about environmental racism which has effected millions of people, and especially POC, in the States alone.
Clean drinking water should be a basic human right, for all, but is not in so many areas. This has caused needless disease and death.
Pattern by @southbaybella was inspired by a SJSA Yyouth activist, Michaela. See Isabelle’s page for the original and her pattern. I modified my block to use the people fabric by Christian Robinson @theartoffun.

#journeyhomequilt is fresh off the line. Quilted and bound, and ready to be used. Pattern is by @bloomingpoppies and I was lucky enough to pattern test for her. She has a Quilt-a-long starting very soon, so check it out. Fun pattern that goes together well. I used flight fabrics to represent moving (for me, back) to the States. I wanted my Irish lads to have something to remember that significant time. It was heartbreaking at the time, and sometimes still is. Working on my Irish wall hanging version next.

Second photo is the back, which is made from scraps from the front, part of a mini charm pack ( #flight by @janeteclare ), and a bit of yardage. *

My @nationalquiltmuseum BOM quilt is fresh off the line. I finally finished quilting it, each block is quilted differently. My little guy wanted to try it out on the porch swing. I started this quilt because of the #eraseinjusticeblock and ended up loving each block. I learned a lot and tried a lot of new techniques.

Draining all the Color Out, May’s BOM for the So

Draining all the Color Out, May’s BOM for the Social Justice Sewing Academy. This pattern was designed by Tara @weftyneedle, and portrays the impact of gentrification and how it ‘negatively impacts housing security for a disproportionate number of poor, working class, and people of color.’ The #sjsacademy BOB has certainly given me a lot to learn and think about. It is also a call to action. -second photo is the 6 blocks so far. I have a few more to catch up on.
-fabrics by Carolyn Friedlander and some African fabrics from my stash.

I made a second #eraseinjustice block for the Social Justice Sewing Academy BOM. This BOM started in January, and the #sjsacademy has been a great resource on so many social issues. This block is as important as ever. We need to stand up to injustice and stand up for others. I am learning and find making these blocks very meditative (or make my blood boil when I think about the injustices that so many face, especially to people of colour). The work of the academy is to give children a creative voice to talk about what they see and experience. This BOM has helped many adults learn and find their voice. Check out their website. -My last block went into my National Quilt Museum BOM Quilt (nearly finished with the quilting). This one is 2 inches bigger, which made the piecing a lot less fiddly.
-I am using Carolyn Friedlander fabrics and some African fabrics a friend gave to me. *

#summersampler2020 Trellis block, pattern by @stitchindye. I had a few different fabrics in mind, and these were saved for something else. Anyway, I decided to try them and see. These will probably work better for some of the other blocks, it was tricky to match up ombré. Way of if my comfort zone colour wise, except for the blues. I used Heather Ross paper boats and beautiful ombrés by @afewscraps (from @thecottoncure ).

Day 11-Quilters around the world had the wonderful idea to add some quilts to our homes, porches, fences, etc.
Today’s quilts are from left:
- Vintage quilt that someone gave me a few years ago. Can anyone remind me what this block is called? It is hand tied.
- this is the back of my #roadtripreduxquilt, using the scraps from the front to make the centre of the log cabin. Front was shown a few days ago (pattern by @bloomingpoppies). -Cara loves watching the world go by from the front porch, it is also the coolest place at the moment. We are melting in the heat. *

Day 10- Quilters around the world had the wonderful idea to add some quilts to our homes, porches, fences, etc.
Today’s nearly finished quilts are from left:
- @nationalquiltmuseum block of the month quilt. I was drawn to making this one because of the #eraseinjustice block. It is half way quilted, I am quilting each block individually. All Carolyn Friedlander fabrics for this one.
- #paraparaquilt (pattern by @southerncharmquilts ). I used mostly Janet Clare fabrics for this one, from her #fieldguide collection. This one is half way quilted too. *

Day 9-Quilters around the world had the wonderful idea to add some quilts to our homes, porches, fences, etc.
Today’s quilts are from left:
-Back of my #summersampler2019 quilt. Ready to start making this summer’s new quilt. Mostly scraps and extra blocks from the sampler. Carolyn Friedlander fabrics mostly.
-the pocket has the label for this one-from an old #patagonia shirt (fabric in the quilt).
-Celtic Warrior quilt top (soon to be quilted), pattern by @blue_mungo, fabric is mostly by @katenelligandesign. This one reminds me of Harry Clarke stained glass. *
