literally (a few minutes ago) just finished this quilted tapestry that reads, “seething with rage. nowhere to put it but here.” it measures roughly 24” x 56”. I think I’m going to call her, “this one’s for me.”
this was a cathartic exhausting sewing journey that i undertook specifically for myself with the thought of art as emotional labor and personal fulfillment - I would do this again in a heartbeat!! i am probably going to add a few more details to the front but i was too eager to post this lol so more to come :)

Been feeling a little uncreative the last couple ... years? Feel like staying ahead of covid is sucking up all my creativity. Maybe I'll try recreating this quilt, but at 1/3 the size (so each square finishes at 3" and not 6"), and instead of setting it in empty space, will just do the whole thing inset. It's very much a creature of its time, the beginning of the modern quilting movement. Feels dated to me, now.
FTR the color for the borders was deliberate! It was supposed to remind people of those takeout coffee cups at Greek restaurants.
Based on the 1st c AD mosaic at Fishburne in England (I was a 4th year PhD student in archaeology when I quit, academia so I like making archaeological quilts). Pieced by me, quilted by my friend Liz Haskell.

Well that is the hanging sleeve all sewn on to the back of my little bit of improv quilt. I need to cut a bit of wood to go inside the sleeve but it is a bit late for that tonight. I will also have to go shopping on the way home tomorrow night and get some more sticky pads to stick it on the wall. So this is an almost finish today. Maybe it will be a finish tomorrow night, we shall see.

What's the more picturesque setting for a quilt walk: a quaint English village, or Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge in the middle of winter? Decide for yourself, but give the Duluth quilters bonus points for endurance.

An Exploration of Large Scale Foundation Paper Piece Quilt Designing
Aka
Cozy Swords So Big
I made this quilt for a sword enthusiast, I’m sure they would clock inaccurate sword proportions right away. It was important to me that the (non magical) swords be as proportionally accurate as possible. I based each blade to hilt ratio directly on historical or famous prop references (can you spot them?) and designed them to be life sized.
A very sweet boy’s tail for scale against an early pattern draft
The most challenging part of constructing this quilt was working on the RIDICULOUSLY long blades. Typically individual pieces of an FPP pattern are small and easily maneuvered. My largest blade pattern pieces were about 45 inches long, a design decision I would never inflict on anybody but myself.
The smallest blade- the only one I took photos of because the rest were way too overwhelming to document. The largest pieces were triple the length of this.
Designing the blades to be contained in a single piece of each pattern maximized precision in the parts of the designs that I really really wanted to be smooth and sleek.
The long blades were very hard to construct, it’s easy to end up with bubbled fabric on FPP pattern pieces so large. Glue stick and spray starch were critical here.
My only totally impossible sword was designed in a more traditional fpp kind of way, broken into many small pattern pieces. There was a lot more room for error in seam matching, so this block took me much longer to complete than any of the others. I redid quite a few seams to get as close as I could to perfect.
Overall I loved how these large scale FPP designs turned out. I think the result was worth the hassle of working with my comically large pattern pieces.

Scarcity
This approximately 36″ x 36″ quilt was created for the Brooklyn Quilters Guild Earth Day fence quilt show. I used improv piecing to create a feeling of water gradually disappearing into nothingness. I then used free-motion quilting to outline the word “water” which is only slightly visible, symbolizing how this essential resource is disappearing around the world due to climate change and…
