It’s the weekend, baby! (A former college boyfriend used to tell me this every Friday afternoon.)

• Quilts from the Pacific International Quilt Festival.
• A quilter shares her thoughts about a newly-finished quilt.
• Wonderful origami.
• Don’t bother buying a bed for your cat.
• A quick art history lesson focusing on Renaissance paintings.
• Dripping with rugs.
• An autistic student completes an assignment to write a poem, and earns a book contract for it.
• An artist is entranced by a hand-scribed, hand-illustrated Ethiopian prayerbook.
• Award-winning landscape photography.
• Sketching trees.
• I love this artist’s Instagram. Some posts are multi-drawing stories.
• When your 94-year-old mother writes a children’s book and asks you to illustrate it, you can’t say no.
