When quilting meets DIY home renovation!

Using my rotary cutter and Le Summit ruler to cut “CosyWool” from to the right size.

Santorini-inspired appliqué scene, made for the ‘Predominantly Blue’ exhibition organised by Region 13 of the Quilters Guild of the British Isles and displayed at QuiltFest North.
12” square; a mini quilt, but not a miniature! Techniques include hand painted background, appliqué, variegated threads, and free motion quilting.

“Male dominated.”
Two words that still stitch themselves through too many spaces, from boardrooms to bedrooms.
Right now, the letters are jumbled and loose. Fitting, really… power always looks messy when it’s being unpicked.

Part of the , this piece pushes back against censorship, of language, ideas, and lived experience.
Like The Red Flag Project, it’s about refusing to stay quiet.

🩸 What words or truths are you done watching be silenced?

“It wasn’t violent.”
That doesn’t make it consensual.

Coercion doesn’t always shout.
Sometimes it wears charm.
Sometimes it plays the victim.
Sometimes it sounds like: “Don’t you want to make me happy?”

And you freeze - because saying no feels like setting off a bomb.

This flag is called R**e.
Because coercion can’t coexist with consent.
Because too many of us recognised ourselves in and still whispered, “But was it really?”

It was.

“It’s not a big deal.”Ok - then why did you mention it 37 times?The way I stacked the plates.The way I breathed through ...

“It’s not a big deal.”
Ok - then why did you mention it 37 times?

The way I stacked the plates.
The way I breathed through my nose.
The wrong face I made while thinking.
Tiny things, picked at like lint off a black coat - until I believed I was the mess.

Spoiler: I wasn’t.

Welcome to Fault. A flag stitched from the thousand paper cuts that were somehow always my fault.

They don’t need chains to silence you - just a word sharp enough to cut.

He didn’t call me names because I did anything wrong.
He said it because I dared to exist beyond his control.

I was chatting publicly online about my interests, and some of those I was talking to happened to be male. That was it.

But to a person who needs power to feel safe, even your voice is a threat.

They shame, so you’ll shrink.
They name-call, so you’ll stay silent.

But I won’t. Not anymore.

“Technically consensual” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. 💪

If the cost of saying “No” is emotional punishment - silence, sulking, withdrawal - that’s not consent.

It’s coercion.
And coercion INVALIDATES consent.

If you can’t say no safely, your yes isn’t freely given.

Spent a lovely day today and saw exquisite work by demonstrations by the braiding society and more.

Wonderful to catch up and meet friends, both old and new.

When love feels like a test you keep failing, it’s not love - it’s control.

Real love doesn’t tally points. It holds you gently, even when you fall short.

If affection depends on performance, that’s not love - it’s manipulation.

You shrink.
You tiptoe.
You forget who you are.
True love meets you in your mess.

📢 Spot the signs.
🛑 Set boundaries.
🧠 Fortify your mind.
❤️ Stay free, not small.
