Grassroots banners over the last year! Love to see them all together. All of these organizations do community based work in Kentucky and are made up of so many people I deeply admire and believe in.

A lot of the time our local crews are strapped for time and capacity, meaning art and culture can fall to the backburner. It’s been such a delight to bring quilting and handmade banners into different movement ecosystems, and put my time and energy into materials tools that bring in some joy and flavor ✨

Another quilt come and gone! Biggest one yet I think?

Number one reason this quilt commission with Seith was so delightful was cause it meant we got to hang nearly every week. Part trade- next up we’re gonna be building out a platform for the back of my truck!

Mega grateful to get to do this kind of work, and get to collab this go around.

Age of Peace debuts new single “Dead Alligator” today in light of their upcoming album “Ode to Life” out April 24th

Dead Alligator started as a chant Micah and Angie made on a drive to New Orleans 2 years ago, shouting and singing “Dead Alligator off the side of the highway - ooooooh! “ The two came home and transformed it into song, later transforming into puppets with time!

@nonewletcherprison is a coalition working to stop the construction of yet another federal prison in Letcher County, KY. This prison has already been defeated once, so we know we can do it again!

Proposing to build a new federal prison in Letcher County is not just a local issue. BOP Policy is to try to house incarcerated people within 500 miles from their homes. If you live in the impact zone, your friends, family and neighbors will be impacted by this prison if it’s built.

Once this quilt is finished, it’ll be making it’s way up to DC along with work by other friends for a show all about the #nonewletcherprison campaign. Stay tuned for more info on the opening! And till then, throw down on some letter writing, and talk to BCNP directly on how to get involved.

art hoopla of 25 had me grinnin’
So grateful for how far it took me on the dusty road, the chance to keep stepping into the mystery goop, and ofc all the new + old buds along the way (my favorite part) !

Here’s to another round of making, and playing, and trying, and failing, and figuring it out, and trusting in the process.
