My quilt guild challenge this year is "Play on words" and we are supposed to make a idiom or a pun come to life on a small quilt.

This is mine. I named him Carl which is irrelevant but I felt you should know.

[Hint: He's a pun.]

He's an alligator in a vest .

He's an investigator.

They're here!!! They're here!!! My quilts from @creations-by-chaosfay are here!!!!! Please appreciate my creative camera angle to hide the litter box while still showing the majority of my room anyway:

As soon as I got the box open, I had to cuddle under the twin quilt for a while and only stopped because it was time to go for a walk and it would attract unkind attention from the neighbors to walk around like this in public.

I love it so much!!!!! It's so cozy and beautiful and I can't wait to sleep under it tonight!!! And the mini quilt is gorgeous too!!!!! I haven't quite decided where its permanent home will be, but I love it and it will bring me joy every time I see it, wherever it goes!

Bonus: The first cat to explore the new quilts approves!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

Blackwater Dive

2024, hand bleached and dyed denim, cotton batting and thread

inspired by blackwater photography of plankton! this was my first time layering bleach painting. All the silhouettes were painted with bleaching gel, loosely tie dyed, and then bleached again to make the highlights. I quilted the piece using my free motion foot to outline each individual animal and tacked down the rest of the quilt with small satin stitches that remind me of marine snow. I dyed bias tape to match. super happy with this one and excited to show it in a gallery setting soon!

my grandma was a quilter and she said that there were a couple rules about making art which sounded …suspicious lol

but these were her rules:

whenever you can, take a class.

whenever you can, make art with other people. not collaborating necessarily, just spending time together making art

and that was it.

she was a very practiced and talented quilter, and she took classes and went to quilt groups often

she taught both me and my mom to sew (despite her being my paternal grandma) and my mom is also a talented quilter

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve learned something new when sharing the studio with someone (plus it’s a good way to spend time with friends)
