@ShannonDowney @BadassHERstory Just signed up for your workshop. Hopefully you can help me join my creativity with actual ability 😉.
Another thing that’s happened in lockdown: discovering @ShannonDowney #RitasQuilt and @BadassHERstory I’ve been to some of her Sunday stitch ups and they’ve become a highlight of my week. 20 amazing textile artists, sewing and chatting on Zoom.
@BadassHERstory I just discovered this, but I’m gonna start today.
@AmyRay is doing a Facebook live living room concert while I work on my @BadassHERstory piece and honestly, what more do I need in this moment?
@BadassHERstory Do I still have time to join and make my square?? I've been working on my embroidery and I feel like I can make it happen now!
Next week @consigntrilogy I'll be leading another Badass HERstory stitch-up! Start your contribution to this global art project and enjoy some community. We are also gathering funds to help @BadassHERstory and #ritasquilt to hit the road. ift.tt/2SCPLTM
@ShannonDowney @BadassHERstory YAY! I don't stitch with them but I would LOVE to! I'm a pretty novice embroiderer but as long as they don't care I'm game 😃
@holycrow @ShannonDowney @BadassHERstory I aspire to be a crone
Stop using #crone as a bad word! This will be my @BadassHERstory piece. I plan to be an awesome crone! The knowledge you gather in life should be passed along. Rita was 99 when she passed & she unknowingly left many of us a gift. What gift will you leave… ift.tt/34h5lch
@ShannonDowney @BadassHERstory I absolutely love this (the insight as well as the act)!
@BadassHERstory Looking for photo of craftivist project 4use as 2nd issue cover of free film/visual culture zine I co-edit, dropped off at libraries & film orgs in Indiana & London, UK. Small fee/credit for artist. 1 I Iike is on Badass HERstory gallery. Can we connect abt it?
Amazing work by CPS teacher and project ambassador Bridget Doherty Trebing. #LookItUp #ChicagoFlag #BadassHerstory
Chicago pals, there’s a beautiful exhibition in Beverly. @BadassHERstory has put this together, full of our stories. Go check it out! My work is the wee chubby nude in the bottom left corner ❤️
On my first visit to @CenteronHalsted, I am loving the art installation of @BadassHERstory
@SunaSnyman @TinyPricks @BadassHERstory is another activist craft project. Both are amazing run by incredible women wanting to turn something negative into a positive. Spread the word! #tinypricksproject #badassHERstory
Badass HERstory (@BadassHERstory ) dlvr.it/RBD06Y
@AshleeMBoyer @JamminGames @ClaireSouthwe11 @BadassHERstory @monteiro Agreed! These are all incredible! Thanks so much for sharing 😄
@ShannonDowney @BadassHERstory @Vichcraft It sounds cool. I don’t stitch or sew AT ALL, tho. Maybe I should start! Also, I’m part of a group called, @Bake4Justice, which holds bake sales in Andersonville about once a month and gives all proceeds to diff orgs. Next one is Aug 24 - stop by and say hi!
