This short documentary about a quilting program for inmates in a maximum security prison has recently been added to Netflix.
It is excellent! So much talent and so much compassion. I recommend it for all #quilters and for everyone else.

Anyone whose interior could use a piece of #artwork with some earth tones, here are three #paintings made by my friends & a #quilt made by my mom that're in need of homes. Reach out to me if anything below interests you & you'd like to inquire about

a painting of a male elephant, golden-brown, the front half of it, facing left, raising its trunk up, dust billowing up around it

a painting of a temple complex, there is a giant stone buddha with stairs leading up to it, the buddha is seated, it is done in an impressionist style

an abstract cityscape done in amber and red and yellow and black and brown, energy swirling around from all different angles

a quilt, it has a tan checkered border, inside is a diamond shape, in the center of the diamond is a sharp wheel of light tan and darker fabrics, on each line of the diamond is a half-wheel
