Hope Everyone Enjoys The Eclipse Responsibly!

total-solar-eclipse

Here are some basic rules!

• Here in Tennessee, we may have the best view, but we’ll also be the first to be sacrificed.

• Animals may behave strangely. If your dog speaks like a man, heed its dire warnings.

• Don’t trust the squirrel with a child’s face. It speaks only lies.

• When your double arrives, resist the urge to fight it — it may be stronger than you. Chances are, it will disappear after the eclipse, but be careful it doesn’t switch places with you, because it’ll be a few decades before you get the chance to come back.

• If you stare into the void, and it blinks first, you win. But the prize is insanity.

• Werewolves are not only impossible to kill during an eclipse, they become SUPER werewolves.

• Whatever you do, don’t buy any weird plants. We don’t want a repeat of last time.

• Apophis, the Moon Serpent, may try to eat you. Let him.

• Remember, no matter how salty your (gay best friend) is, the moon still throws the best shade.

• If once upon a time you were falling in love, but now you’re only falling apart, there’s nothing you can do. This is a different kind of eclipse.

Pick Museum at NIU: Quilts And Human Rights

Quilt Social Media

I’ve got amazing news! The Quilts and Human Rights exhibit at The Pick Museum of Anthropology has decided to use my quilt for their publicity for the show! I’m so excited! I’m about to run to work, but I’ll type something awesome up about it later! I just wanted to brag really quickly.

I’ve become an Ambassador for the BadAss Quilters Society!

What does that mean???

I’m not sure, but I get to write articles for the BadAss Quilters Society, so that’s pretty cool! I get talk to fellow quilting badasses, and be awesome all the damn time! In fact, I’ll be writing my first article tonight!

Wish me luck!

Quite A Bit Going On…

2013.76.1a-1.small

I know I have been MIA again. My day job is getting busy, and I’ve got so many commissions, it’s ridiculous. However, I do have some fun news to report! My Quilt for Equality is on the NIU Museum of Anthropology’s website! (Click Here) The exhibit opens September 5th, and I’m very excited for it! It’s a 2 hour drive, but I’ll definitely make it up there a couple of times.

I’ve also been working on my quilt for Anthems 2017, and now I’m making a second quilt for the show to focus on Trumps feelings on transgendered people in the military… I have to order more fabric!

Other than that, life is just full of general debauchery. Maybe I’ll post a picture of what I have so far for Anthems.

Wish me luck!

Gone But Not Forgotten

Sorry I have been gone for so long. I have some amazing things coming up, but can’t quite talk about them yet. I’ve been working on my Anthems quilt(s). Embroidering a few towels for customers. Going to work conventions for my day job…

It’s been a long week and a half, but I’ll have time to catch up this weekend! Looking forward to sharing more with all of you guys out there!

Wish me luck!

Started Work On My Anthems Quilt

It’s getting wild in my sewing room! I have so many projects and only so many machines. Someone please buy me another Viking ruby so I can get more work done. I don’t know where I would put it, but I would figure it out. Anyways, I’ve been pounding some embroidery out for this quilt, and it’s going… where? I’m not sure, but it is going somewhere! I’m getting some of the more decorative stuff done during the week, after work, so Sunday I can sit down and pound out the quilt top. I can tell you my anthem for quilt is Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill. Wish me luck!

Midnight Secret Quilt – Progress

q1

It’s taking some time, but it’s getting there. I have about 50 more stars to embroider, and then I can bind it. I miss stippling. So much faster, but this does look way cooler.

The plan is, and I use the term ‘plan’ loosely, to release all of my embroidered quilting motifs online. Fingers crossed I’ll get around to it soon. We’re creeping up on the busy season at work, and I would like to get all of that out before I start working 60 hours a week again. Wish me luck!

Started Quilting The Midnight Secret Quilt

I’ve got stars for days! I’ve got about 70 more to put on, so this might be a while, but I can binge netflix while I do it, so I can’t complain too much. I’ve even got a beautiful backing for it! I’ll post another picture on Sunday with the progress. Wish me luck! Continue reading
