Quilt School

Hi there! I'm (hopefully) moving out of my parents' house this year and would like to make room in my overflowing T-shirt drawer. Throwing them all away feels like a betrayal of these shirts I loved, so I want to make a T-shirt quilt out of them. Thing is, I've never made any kind of quilt at all, so I don't have that base of experience. Do you have any advice specifically for T-shirt quilts that would differ from regular quilting advice?

Hey! T-shirt quilts are on my list of things I'd like to make, but to be honest I have no idea how to make them. Every guide I've seen says to use interfacing to make the shirts sturdier, but I can't figure out of it's absolutely 100% necessary, or if most quilters just don't like sewing knits? I don't like using interfacing so I have not tried to make one yet Hopefully someone who reads this will have more specific advice

i saw the AIDS memorial quilt for the first time this weekend. nothing prepares you for seeing the size of the panels in real life: the average size of a grave. the grief makes you want to lay down into a panel to fit yourself to a grave's dimensions. the quilt is one of the largest pieces of folk art in the world according to one of the volunteers & each square is so meticulously personalized with poetry, words in other languages, music, photographs, handprints, messages, and more--you can feel the grief physically. and it remained one of the emptiest locations at pride for the entire weekend.

60, 61, 62, and 63!!! I can’t believe I finished the quilting this summer, I thought it would take so much longer. Thanks for sticking with me though this post series, it was very motivating to post a photo of every square as I finished it. I’m headed back to home base on Wednesday so I’ll try to attach the binding this weekend so I can get to hand-sewing the rest of it next rotation (which is my surgery rotation so idk how much time I’ll have haha but we’ll see!) updates to follow….

it makes me sad how often textile arts are ignored as actual art forms, and are relegated to the disregarded realm of 'old lady hobbies'. there is so much skill involved, such a broad diversity of forms, but so many people straight up do not think of things like crochet or quilting as art.

[alarming-prism]

brain has been so full of art. i started drawing again. i started scrapbooking for the first time. i bought a 1968 sewing machine for $30 at a thrift store. i want to learn to quilt. i need help

What Gym Class Heroes album should I listen to first, having only heard a few scattered songs before?

okay, okay. good question. personally? i would listen to them all in chronological order (The Papercut Chronicles, then As Cruel as School Children, then The Quilt, then The Papercut Chronicles II) to see the change and growth of the band as a whole cuz that's kind of what i did. but if you wanna do a vibes based approach, i'll give you the rundown on all the albums.

if i had to clearly define each album as a singular vibe i would say they are Sad, Sexy, Experimental and Cunt.

The Papercut Chronicles (February 22nd, 2005) - SAD

angst on angst on angst. there's suicide, addiction, self harm, breakups, self loathing, homophobic violence, addiction, depression, shitty relationships, addiction and did i mention addiction? you've got Cupid's Chokehold and Make Out Club to add a little fun and sexiness but it's a lottttt of heavy shit. Travie's not fucking around on this, he's getting in! to! it! my favourite song right now would probably be To Bob Ross with Love but you should listen to it straight through, in order the first time.

As Cruel as School Children (July 25th, 2006) - SEXY

in an interview, Travie was asked to describe As Cruel as School Children using one word and he picked "sexy." i agree with him, this is a sexy ass album. are you feeling sexy? would you like to feel sexier? Clothes Off! fucks severely and makes me fan myself like a victorian man seeing an ankle for the first time. you want horny romance? you got that. you want student/teacher? you got that. you want ye older internet romance? you got that. you want sex and addiction? you got that. you want sex as a metaphor for addiction? you best believe you got that!! also the sloppy love jingles? hawt <3 my fave song right now would probably be Shoot Down the Stars.

The Quilt (September 8th, 2008) - EXPERIMENTAL

there's a wide variety of genres and themes in this one. there's drunk sex, there's legal trouble, there's father-son bonding, there's a really excellent and non offensive trans joke, there's so many pop culture references, there's infidelity and there's a whole bunch of disses that i think go really hard. like i know in my heart that Travie could rip Drake a new one. the album opens up with fucking JAZZ, then there's fabulous rap and hip hop of course, with some Pumped Up Kicks kind of pop (happy music, dark lyrics) and some seriously sick ass guitar (thank you Disashi <333). my fave song right now would probably be Guilty as Charged

The Papercut Chronicles II (November 11th, 2011) - CUNT

CUNT is a mixture of confidence, sexiness, no fucks given and talent wrapped up in 11 bad bitch tracks. 14 years of Gym Class Heroes came together into this fucking beauty of an album. i'm just saying, if your fave album is so good, how come it didn't get a sequel? we've got back to back bangers that are not afraid to reference or not reference old Gym Class Heroes lore and they all do what they do fucking beautifully. there's confidence, there's vulnerability, there's religion, there's metaphors coming out of everything, there's fucking SICKENING guitar and beats, there's fight songs, there's love songs, there's grocery shopping, there's dinosaurs, there's breakups and there's dollar signs instead of S's. my fave song right now would probably be Martyrial Girl$

so yeah, that's my take on every Gym Class Heroes album <3 listen to them in order tho

regular people who sew are always aghast at quilters seam allowances. you’re going to take our 1/8 at best seams and you’re going to thank us
