Priscilla's Workshop

 

 

Today I completed the applique on the newest project. I started in April, took a detour to make my son's jacket, came back to the project and subsequently changed it. The flimsy is complete unless I decide to add embroidery details somewhere. Right now the proposed name is Abbondanza!.

I am still undecided about whether this needs some sort of pieced border after the floral applique. My brain tends to like and look for "frames".

Judge Chutkan gave both prosecution and defense sides the written guidelines covering public outcry or public comment about the charges and the evidence in Trump's sedition trial. While there are still millions of people who idolize Trump, that does not mean he can say anything he wants or broadcast specific details in the evidence and charges. Despite that, I have no doubt Trump will say his freedom of speech has been trampled; but there is no unfettered ability to tell secrets or to spread lies nor has there ever been. The problem will arise, however, when Trump goes ahead and opens his mouth or uses his tiny hands to broadcast some grand jury information or the identity of one of the witnesses. Yes, he will be found in contempt of court but the barn door will already be open and harm could ensue. Chutkan warned Trump and his attorneys that..."the more inflammatory statements he makes connected to the case, the greater the urgency will be to move the case quickly to trial."

In other legal news, a special counsel will be appointed in the ongoing Hunter Biden case.
