I am so grateful for your specific, imperative voice that only *you* can bring to your art and to the world <3

It makes me sad that people think it's "okay" or "helpful" to share their small-minded and homophobic thoughts on your work.

I love the way you share your experiences and thoughts about your work when you share it. I learn and grow because you do. Thank you for being YOU!

Thank you for sharing this text that adds to the rich weave of your textiles! I especially appreciated that you mentioned “Working with materials that had been discarded gave me the chance to create rituals of craft that addressed my own feelings of rejection in a restorative way.” This helped me articulate why I’ve found healing in making with discarded

I want to respond to every part of this with an emphatic YES! How beautiful to think of both queerness and art making as "expansive exercises in imagination." I will remember that! Keep expanding! The world needs it.

I LOVE your quilts and your writing. Thank you so much for sharing them.

Sincerely, a cis-het woman who thinks a lot of people are idiots

You are the best. You love so hard - love people, love the earth. Reminds me of a quote from a fellow radical non-binary babe: “gender non-conforming people are targeted not because we lack, but because we love.”

I certainly love you!

Wow, my mind boggles that someone thinks that is appropriate to message someone … quilts are ALL about their maker’s identity; they are a narrative, and that’s important!
