Went to a big quilting convention today and am feeling inspired so here's todays edition of
What the fuck do you mean that's a quilt??
Most people have no idea about how much craft goes into quilting or how much quilting as a craft, art, and even a science has been evolving in recent years. So here's my personal appreciation post
And btw the flat images do NOT even do these quilts justice, especially in terms of the absolutely amazing and detailed texture embroidery that a lot of quilters are using these days. Up close the texture and the sheer detail of many of them is just stunning
These are all from the Road to California quilt show 2023
1st Place: Portrait
Title: Sharing the Moment
Maker: Hollis Chatelain
Quilter: Hollis Chatelain
Design Basis: Maker's Original Design
African-American women are a powerful force in motivating their families and communities to vote. I wanted to create a piece about this and highlight the fact that African-American women did not receive the right to vote in all 50 states until 1965 when the Voting Rights Act was passed. I met Phyllis at a rally. I was drawn to her and asked if she would be my model. Without hesitation she said yes. She later brought her friend Loretta with her.
1st Place: Naturescape
Title: Augustinii
Maker: Andrea Brokenshire
Quilter: Andrea Brokenshire
Design Basis: Maker's Original Design
“Augustinii” is a blue/purple variety of rhododendron my momma planted within her forest garden. I was lucky to be home on when it was in bloom. When I see this quilt, I am reminded of my momma and how she loves to tend her garden and “grub in the dirt.”
1st Place: Pictorial
Title: Leap of Faith
Maker: Kestrel Michaud
Quilter: Kestrel Michaud
Design Basis: Original design
In this Steampunk fantasy world, men and women have taken to the skies on ships held aloft by hot air, ingenuity, and luck. Faith’s favorite past-time is bungee-jumping off the side of her airship, with Bubo, her pet clockwork owl. This quilt depicts the photo Faith took on her latest jump to test her brand-new camera and selfie stick.
2nd Place: Naturescape
Title: Homage to Birches Bare
Maker: Jessica Noble
Quilter: Jessica Noble
Design Basis: Fabric recreation of Kesler Woodward's Birches Bare, acrylic on
I fell in love with Kesler Woodward’s Birches Bare painting and knew I had to create it in fabric. I cut about 1,700 pattern pieces out of freezer paper and then fused fabric, through the fall of 2019 until the pandemic started. During this time, I homeschooled my two children and the quilt sat in quarantine. I quilted this freehand on my midarm in the winter of 2021. I managed to take the majority of the summer of 2022 on the binding.
2nd Place: Pictorial
Title: Toroweap Overlook
Maker: Sandra Mollon
Quilter: Sandra Mollon
Design Basis: Derived from a photo
Toroweap Overlook, in the Grand Canyon National Park, is an incredible view of the Colorado River. When John Slot sent me the photo to consider for an art quilt, I realized the complexity of the amount of the pieces it would require, but knew I had to do it. Raw edge fused, machine quilted, small amounts of media.
3rd Place: Pictorial
Title: Catch it Yuri!
Maker: Hiroko Miyama and Masanobu Miyama
Quilter: Hiroko Miyama
Design Basis: Maker's Original Design
Inspired by dogs’ action. Yuri, golden retriever big jumped to catch a ball and Ponta, mix hardly waited his turn. Dogs and girl were fused appliquéd.
Seriously can you believe these are all quilts!!! incredible amazing showstopping spectacular

recently I was given a few quilts my grandma made, and I found this little section really interesting.
the style’s different lol, but it’s very much the kind of image I often put on my pottery, a rabbit running through flowers. I might have to make a plate specifically to match this quilt
then it occurred to me that my mom has made some rabbit art too, so here’s my mom’s pottery
and here’s mine
we went different directions for sure lol, but it’s cool to see three generations of rabbit-inspired art

This Quilt has been a struggle. I bought most of the fabric four years ago, when I didn’t know what a 1/4 in seam was, and getting any corner to match was a goddamn nightmare. I almost threw everything out, but I ripped all of the seams and was left with so fucking many 2.5 in squares that weren’t cut very well, and piecing this fucker back together was also a goddamn nightmare. I made two trips to the Quilt shop for more fabric, changed patterns at least three times. And spent a lot of time rearranging the order of the blocks before I settled on this scrappy -and might I say adorable - Halloween quilt.
I threw a couple of borders on it to try and use as much of my Halloween scraps as possible, and I sewed on the binding very sloppily. I just wanted to get it finished before Halloween, and despite this post date, I did! The ladies at the quilt shop let me help with the quilting, and I felt like a little kid helping mom in the kitchen.
Because of the nature of the beast (the bad cutting, the sloppy piecing, and my overall haste to finish) there are a few tucks around the borders. Did you know you’re supposed to measure the borders, not just sew on the strips and cut where it ends? Measuring keeps it Square. Slapping borders on gives you tucks. I’m still learning so much, but I’m having a good time.

“I Did This All For You” (2022)
Screen print on fabric and paper, quilt, metal, installation
This was an semester long assignment for an undergrad screen printing class and it’s a very personal piece. It was about my childhood traumas as a disabled trans and late realized autistic person, trying to clumsily heal your inner child while also trying to cope with the difficult relationship of those memories

Dream big panels have been around for years, we sold tons of them when I worked for a quilt shop. But I never saw a color that I was dying to have a go at until this fiery one. It was my project to wrap up 2023 and sneak in some free motion therapy. I loved every second of it. It’s edges are now trimmed and faced and it’s hanging in my living room. New year, new quilted art!

Been on a quilting kick lately so I made these little back-of-the-chair quilts for some friends.
They like birds. 😅
Explored some new techniques like paper foundation piecing! All the blocks were available for free somewhere online but I otherwise planned it out myself on graph paper.

Making progress on the Stargate Universe quilt top. I’m going to remake the Eli quilt block at the top. I need Eli to be larger and more defined as being a person and not a blob. :) I still have several blocks to make. #StargateUniverse #SGU #quilt
