I have been expanding my work into new adventures in quilting – this specific style is one I’ve been adapting for a few years and there’s a few options for how those quilts look.

Fix Your Heart or Die

I’ve been working on this quilt for a bit – originally I was thinking it would be a small picnic blanket but ultimately after all the hand stitching I can’t sit on it. It’s now going to be a hanging piece of textile art.

Based on a David Lynch quote, it’s scrap fabric cut into squares and then hand stitched and backed in rainbow dinosaurs.

My first quilt in this style – a quote from David Lynch, done in red and white scrap. I’ve had this at a few shows in Pittsburgh. It’s backed in the last bolt I bought from Joann’s during the closure – rainbow dinosaur’s. #quilting #davidLynch #DIY #handquilting

Future’s Gonna Be Ok

For BTS in El Paso, my friend and I wanted to do a theme of handmade, so I wanted to do one of my quilting projects with text from D-day – a solo album, yes, but a line I think about a lot. I started this project on March 14 – days before the album was released. Hand quilting takes time.

I worked on this while in the hospital. While on the road. It’s still not finished. I wanted to add the things that stressed me out – the rags that we use at my job that are made of the closed DEI office t-shirts, a hand embroidered quote from a guy who was later a dick to me, things like that – and repurpose them into something that spoke to hope and resilience. If we say it enough, it’ll be true.

The project as it stood at the BTS concert in El Paso:

This weekend I flew across the country to El Paso to see BTS in concert. My best friend and I had an unofficial outfit (and freebie) theme of handmade, so I wanted to do one of my quilting projects with text from D-day – a solo album, yes, but a line I think about a lot. I started this project on March 14 – days before the album was released. Hand quilting takes time. I worked on this while in the hospital. While on the road. It’s still not finished. I wanted to add the things that stressed me out – the rags that we use at my job that are made of the closed DEI office tshirts, a hand embroidered quote from a guy who was later a dick to me, things like that – and repurpose them into something that spoke to hope and resilience. If we say it enough, it’ll be true. I hope everyone had a great time in El Paso. I did (even though we were in line for hours, even though my light stick broke). Thank you to Nicole, who introduced me to BTS and who takes me with her when we go. #BTS #arirang @BTS #handquilting #DIY

More detail shots cause I had too many progress photos in my last video to fully show the details on the finished (ish) quilt. #BTS #handquilting #quilting @BTS
