“It is a common misconception that if we are critical and unloving of our bodies, this attitude will somehow serve as motivation to take better care of them. It is the old notion that we can “whip ourselves into shape”. In actuality, the complete opposite is true. The more we love and respect our bodies, the more we are able to listen to and trust them to guide us in making healthy and enjoyable self-care choices….Our goal is to help people understand that movement for the purposes of fitness and release of mental stress—and for joy—leads to a lifetime of physical activity and improved health….”

- An amazing health model by The Body Positive group. To all those who struggle with hating or being uncomfortable with their bodies (which, unfortunately, is true of most people), I encourage you to check out what this group has to say. Keep questioning those oppressive messages out there. <3

Wall Quilt Patchwork Domestic Violence Survivor Feminist

Patchwork feminist quilt folk style wall hanging with an anti-Valentine’s message. Machine pieced and quilted from cotton red and pink novelty prints with hearts and flowers. Hand drawn blocks feature the poem Still I Rise along with expressions exploring the perspective of a survivor of domestic violence. Edged with prairie points to resemble a greeting card or valentine. Emily was inspired to create this quilt after hearing about a dear friend who had been a victim of spousal abuse. Includes sleeve for mounting the quilt to the wall (hanging supplies not included).
