A wretched week is almost over though I celebrated personal joy as our son graduated high school. Malala was just trying to get an education and religious extremists tried to kill her, they shot her in public on a bus. She survived and as a refugee continues to be a voice against the terrorists and a voice for education for girls. “Books, not bullets” . .. ..please feel free to go grab the block pattern and short bio at www.grubersquiltshop.com, available for another week. Yes I’m behind. It’s been a wretched and joyful week. ... ... Peace and love, justice and opportunity to all. May we all do better. ... #patchwork #samplerquilt #scrapquilt #knowthembethemraisethem #knowthem #malala #malalayousafzai #knowthem #knowthembethemraisethem #freequiltpattern #quilt #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #starquilt #scrappyquilt #patchworkquilt #neverthelessshepersisted #quiltingismytherapy #cantwealljustgetalong #organicfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/CA21M4MHed-/?igshid=1s6vk9aoasgow

Jane Austen’s block in my #knowthem sampler. I don’t know if she’d pass as an ally in todays world but many of her ideas that she expressed through storytelling were progressive. Women survived at the whim of the men in their lives and really needed some rights? Slavery was heinous and should be abolished? Whoa, she was trying to move things forward from what she saw and experienced in her time and class, spiced up with great wit. Reading books helps us understand each other’s lives and experiences. Jane Austen’s books brought new ideas into English speaking culture especially since women weren’t published authors back then either. Aw heck, just go read one of her books - Pride and Prejudice hasn’t been out of print for nearly 200 years. ... ... This quilt block pattern is available at www.grubersquiltshop.com under Classes for a few days more .... ... #quilt #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork #patchworkquilt #samplerquilt #sampler #scrapquilt #scrappyquilt #janeausten #organicfabric #birchfabrics #knowthemraisethembethem #knowthembethemraisethem #knowthemqal #freequiltpattern #grubersquiltshop #materiella https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjhw1inz_0/?igshid=17idk81i77ef6

@deannalynncole’s Harriet Tubman block has zigzags down the paths of the snowball blocks. I like to think it symbolizes Harriet evading capture again and again as she kept freeing people from slavery. And Deanna lists her favorite facts which you should read! In editing, I lost the fact that she was buried with military honors - I’ll have to squeeze that in there again! . . #knowthem #knowthemraisethembethem #samplerquilt #patchworkquilt #patchwork #knowthemqal #sampler #scrappyquilt #scrapquilt #upcycle #quilting #quilt #railfenceblock #snowballblock #quiltpattern #harriettubman https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CO1BPHjN4/?igshid=1r8ns71h7dl07
