Hell’s Kitchen: Quilting Finished

18 Jun

IMG_20170618_124126785.jpg

IT took a while, and there are a few mistakes, but damn it, it looks good! This is the quilt that was quilted with my embroidery machine. There are a few vertical lines quilted into it, because I really wanted to keep the vertical aspects of the buildings evident. I’m just so in love with it, but now I cannot find a binding I like. I might have to go and get some solid black. (Don’t ask why I’m out of it; I have clearly been slacking on my inventory.) Well, now that I get to see it when it is done, I love the way the embroidery motif looks! It took about 20 hours to quilt it, but you know, it was totally worth it! I can’t wait to finish it, so I can take pictures of it to enter in shows.

Yesterday, we were hot off the BBC World Service with Quiltgate. (BBC Article Here) Today we’re going to talk about a new quilt show coming up, Anthems. It seems very appropriate, it being pride month, as well as the hate group recently being outed on BBC. We’re having a conversation with Richard Kennair, the creator of Anthems. He’s been in the industry for quite a long time, but he isn’t a quilter! Follow the jump for the interview…

Quilting Space Is Not A Pleasant Space: An Interview With Stephanie Forsyth

15 Jun

racism

Two days ago, I asked a question; it was a simple question. What I got was not a simple response. Today we’re going to talk to Stephanie Forsyth from The IndieQuilter. To beat a dead horse, I’m (trying) doing 4 interviews to go along with a quilt I’m making. One interview per block. Homophobia and Sexism are already done. Now I’m looking to do one on Racism. I tried to find someone to interview, but many people are afraid to come forward after seeing the vitriol being spewed by some of these people on the quilting groups of Facebook. Stephanie was one of the defenders on my post in Quilting Space and let’s check in with her…. (Also check out the screen shots from the conversation. I got as many as I could before it was removed.)

No Such Thing As Racism In Quilting???

14 Jun

maxresdefault

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 been contacted quite a few times with people who wanted to share their story with me, but want no attention drawn to themselves. After the last two days, I understand why. Continue reading →
