Well, it’s been a strange couple of days. As you all know, I did two interviews so far to go with my quilt for the Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Washington DC. There are 4 blocks to the quilt: Homophobia, Sexism, Racism, and Ignorance. I was simply looking around the internet for someone who has been a victim of racism in the quilting community.

I have fun times for all of us!I’ve been quite all weekend for the most part, mainly because I was tied up with a comic and art show, but now I can get back on my grind.

On the coming attraction list:

We’re going to catch up with Stephanie Forsyth! – We’re actually going over an incident that happened earlier today in a quilt group.

We’ll be talking to the Founder of the Anthem Quilt Show!

I have an interview with someone of the topic of Racism in Quilting.

I have a special surprise for Friday! (No, I can;t tell you until Friday afternoon!)

The Quilting on Hell’s Kitchen is almost done!

I don’t know what your plans are tomorrow, but I’ll be hanging out at the Northwest Indiana Art and Comic Expo – NWI A.C.E. for short. I just finished embroidering these hats, and I’m super stoked to show them off! I’ve also got buttons, and pins, and all sorts of fun stuff! It starts at 11:00 tomorrow in Schererville Indiana! I really hope to see some of you there!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I use my embroidery machine for a hell of a lot of other things besides basic embroidery! I’ve done quilting, lace work, crazy-quilting, buttonholes and many other things. I bought it for embroidery, but it has so many uses! What are you using it for? Those of you who know about embroidery machines, know they are crazy stupid expensive, but they do a lot! They can be quite the multi-function machine!

So tell me, what are you using it for? And how?
