Hi I made this!
"Hard To Kill"
Free motion embroidery/ thread painting on a thrifted jacket. My own design and layers upon layers of thread.
This was a big skill jump for me compared to my last dandelions! I paid for it with several days of my life and wrist pain, but it was so worth it. I may go in again with a darker green for the spines of the leaves, we'll see.

‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs
So many of my suggested ads now are "lose weight now!" or "get rid of wrinkles fast!" or "saggy skin is an abomination!"
What if I like my soft body. What if my wrinkles are evidence of my joy. What if my loose skin is from the fluctuations of the years. What if my scars tell stories. What if I let my body rest and just be. It's been through so much. It's strong and soft and skilled and a vessel of me.

platonic third base: when you get to know someone well enough that they start making mortifyingly specific observations about you
yesterday i was chilling with my friend and there was an ice cream van outside and every time the jingle played i'd look out the window and after the third time i did this my friend said, accurately, 'i think you want to get ice cream but you're scared of the ice cream man.' devastating
Today in my house, looking and speaking directly to my innocent Human Shape, @metautske told me that I seemed like I would've been the kind of kid who'd try and drink the glowy part of a glow stick.
Blocked in real life. No longer allowing myself to perceive.
some california wildflowers!
After 4 years in an apartment we finally have an outdoor space again. Pig and I spend time out here every day we can.
New Project Time!
Raw edge applique inspired by this backing fabric from my stash. I had barely enough of the solids to make everything for the top, but it was perfect for using what I already have. All hand cut and hand placed.
Next up will be basting and quilting - black outlines and details in my signature style, with a white filler pattern in the background. I love how folky it's coming out!
and for the lady, perhaps a fking break?

Earth
Here's what I've realized from the Artemis II mission:
You cannot study STEM without the arts, and you cannot study humanities without the sciences. In that tiny capsule we sent to the moon, we sent physicists who are also photographers. We sent poets who are pilots.
We sent experts on exact scientific maneuvers who also express precise emotion and experience that will be quoted for decades. They play with a stuffed moon in the background of a broadcast and have Chappell Roan as their wakeup music. They drove around the far side of the moon.
We sent parents, partners...We sent humans, who are unabashedly showing their humanity and brilliance and vulnerability. They are smart and kind and generous and ambitious and silly and thoughtful and so damn good at what they do. And they want to share it all with us.
Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely
tu LANCES félicette ? tu lances son corps comme la fusée ? oh ! oh ! prison pour les scientifiques ! prison pour les scientifiques pendant Un Mille Ans !
You can understand the French perfectly fine with only context but the English translation I got still had me floored
Pattern block quilt progress!
I assembled the first set of shapes and played around with a layout. I'll be making this up as I go
Finally starting on this EPP quilt. It makes me feel like a little kid again, playing with geometry blocks at recess
Another night of hand sewing progress! I'll be deciding the next sections as I go and mirroring them around the quilt.
Another round is attached, and my actual pattern blocks arrive today so I can plan out the next sections.
Thank you, pattern blocks! The first set of the next round are assembled. They'll get attached once I make the second set. In the meantime, it looks like a rainbow snowflake 🌈❄️
Finally - another geometry block quilt update
Now that I'm settled in after my move, I can finally get back to my geo-block project. I got to spend several hours hand sewing today as part of my guild show's volunteering requirements.
The latest blocks are all attached and I'm ready to get going on the next set! I'll likely make more modifications to the design to maintain a pleasing distribution of pieces. The modifications are part of the fun after all.
Most of the reactions today were positive - amusement or amazement or joyful. One woman walked up, leaned in close, sneered, and went "yuck". Rude much? Hand sewing isn't for everyone but you don't have to yuck someone else's yum.
4 of 6 sections done for the next round!
After these are sewn on, it will be approx 43 inches across. I hope to have this finished (pieced) by the end of the year so I can spend another month or so doing the topstitching. I'm planning to do a different design in each color of block with top/bobbin thread matching and a white backing. That way it will almost be a double-sided quilt, with the stitched shapes showing on the back in the same colors.
As a side note, it makes my whole day that y'all are enjoying my project. I really do read every reblog comment and tag, and find myself grinning at your responses. Thanks for being here for the ride!
Behind The Seams
This quilt is made with the English Paper Piecing technique - fabric wrapped around pieces of paper to make the shapes (these are cut with my cricut machine), then hand sewn together. I glue baste my pieces with a tiny drop of white glue that is immediately heat set with an iron. It creates sharp creases that hold up well to the folding and general jostling that comes with a hand sewn project, but the papers can pop out easily enough when it's done. For the sewing part, I use a sashiko needle and hand quilting thread from Joann's (RIP) that I had on hand, but really any needle and thread works.
So far this project has taken about 10 months of off-and-on stitching. I prepped all my pieces already, so when I'm out, the quilt is done. I'm using the actual pattern blocks to map out how I want to make the next sections, taking time to try to balance the appearance of each fabric within the quilt and not have two of the same together. It's a slow steady test of my patience. It's not perfect because it is made by human hands. The stitching shows, the corners aren't all perfect, it likely won't lie exactly flat. I love it for that.

My "Transparencies" quilt took 1st in category (pieced modern traditional) in my guild's recent show!
This was my first big guild show and while I hoped to place, landing in first was a happy surprise! I've also entered this quilt into an upcoming juried show (also my first), so keep your fingers crossed for me.
