Check out this listing I just found on Poshmark: Vintage Granny Square Quilt - 36" x 50" Multicolor Baby or Lap Blanket.

New Community Quilt illustration is up on my Redbubble shop.

I’m back on meditating on pride colors and the queer community and how we’re all woven together. Take care.

Finally finished the crochet granny square “quilt” I’ve been working on!! Took me about 6 months but I really like how it turned out given I’ve never made a blanket this big before (It fits a twin bed)

The base squares are the “sunburst” granny square pattern, they’re linked together with a slip stitch through the back loops only, and the border was made with the star stitch. This took 9 skeins of RHSS Aran yarn o_o I ran it through the wash with some fabric softener, then put it in the dryer. It came out pretty soft actually!

It is really weird to me that when people wore/used granny square items 50 years ago, they were probably made by the person or their mom/grandma, but now people are wearing them again and most are made by hand in factories. Loses its cuteness factor for me.

Because one creative project would have been too easy…

i always think it's so funny when poor people/people without friends or family on tv have quilts or granny square blankets. for some reason those are associated with being poor and lonely?? even though they famously take a huge amount of effort and therefore care or money to make.. like if someone has a quilt or crochet blanket either someone loves them very much or they are loaded

1970s granny squares quilt

[sunshineandrosesnoraincamemyway]

thinking today about how much I love literally all fiber arts. I am hopeless at almost every other kind of art, but as soon as there is thread, yarn, or string I can figure it out fairly quickly.

I learned how to knit when i was eight, started sewing at nine, my dad taught me rock climbing knots around that age, I figured out from a book how to make friendship bracelets, I've made my own drop spindle to make yarn with, and more recently I've picked up visible mending. I've learned embroidery through fixing my overalls, and this year I've learned how to darn and how to do sashiko (which I did for the first time today). After years of being unable to crochet I finally figured it out last night and made seven granny squares in just a few hours.

I want to learn every fiber art that I can. I want to quilt, I want to use a spinning wheel, I want to weave, I want to learn tatting, I want to learn how to weave a basket, I want to learn them all. If I could travel through time and meet anyone in the Bible, high on my list are the craftsmen who made the Tabernacle.

I want to travel the world and learn the fiber arts of every culture, from the gorgeous Mayan weaving in Guatemala, to the stunning batik of Java, to Kente in Ghana. I want to sit at the feet of experienced men and women and watch them do their craft expertly and learn from them.

Of every art form I've seen, it's fiber arts that tug most at my heartstrings.

A WIP GAME, tagged in by @ladyyatexel. Okay this does look fun. Show off my random crap? y yes, yes i like to do it

First we tag, and it's not as many wips because I don't even know that many people - tagging @aawrightworth, @0rb0t, @bmouse, @cosmictuesdays, @feltelures.

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Hmm... okay I am not sure how to do this, as I use scrivener and just have a giant mega doc for each fandom. Right now the fandoms are wrightworth and hereditary enemies (aka ineffable husbands) and outside the web (my novel that maybe one day i will actually finish). But I do have little plot-bunnies/lines of dialogue so that could work...
