Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Finished outlining everything; just need to quilt the background. #artquilt #fungus 091
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I’d like to thank that school friend of mine @la_chicana_catolica for suggesting these seriously delightful kneepads for pinbasting quilts. #artquilt #fungus 0110
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Finished stitchdown, washed batting, and found some random pieces to put together for the backing. #artquilt #fungus 0131
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thought I would finish tonight, but there wasn’t enough time. #artquilts #fungus 0120
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yes I am holding this quilt top up while standing on a chair. #artquilt #fungus 1284
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Here’s part of “In the Wrong Hands”, which will be heading to Quilt National in May. Thanks to the jurors and to the Dairy Barn for a great exhibit. #artquilt #humanrights #quiltnational27 0221
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is actually from last night; tonight I finished ironing all the parts together and found a background fabric. Tomorrow I’ll iron it all down. Studio was 95 degrees 🫠 #artquilt #fungus 1110
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ironed things for a good long while today #artquilt #fungus 1111
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I will be ironing mushrooms for days. #artquilt #fungus 0130
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 30/09/2026All sorted…it’ll be a quilt top in the next week or so #artquilt #fungus 081
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I had to pack quilts for shipping, so I didn’t finish sorting… #artquilt #fungus 080
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The bin on the right is what’s left to trim. Apparently I have to go to sleep and can’t finish it right now. #artquilt #fungus 170
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Trimmed a lot but still have a large chunk of pieces to go. Bowie kept me company tonight. #artquilt #fungus 0120
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I was supposed to take a picture of the trimming progress, but got distracted by Simba. Art happened, but so did dog. 020
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Sometimes when I’m cutting crazy stuff out, I get mad at the damn designer…which is me. I designed this. It’s my fault. #artquilt #fungus 2100
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The next stage: cutting all those things out. #artquilt #fungus 090
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Progress after an 11-hour teaching day. #artquilt #fungus 0100
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Washing a lot of blue out plus picking some brownish greens for the second figure. Managed to finish absolutely nothing. #artquilt #fungus #dyepainting 040
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Done underglazing I think. Finally ready for the kiln. Woman needs a head. #ceramicsculpture #handbuilding 050
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I alternated ironing fungi and washing out a dye painting tonight…worked well. #artquilt #fungi #dyepainting 050
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 14/09/2026 is taking a long time…mostly because I keep making up colors for the mycelial network 😂 #artquilt #fungus 0110
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I feel like I ironed forever, but somehow I’m still in the 299s. And I repainted the brown on this piece. Hopefully it sticks this time. #artquilt #fungus #dyepainting 080
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I started pulling all the pieces for one of the main figures, but after an hour, I was still only halfway. More tomorrow… #artquilt #fungus 0131
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It’s still hot. Women are still dying because of stupid laws about their bodies. And I’m quietly ironing a mycelial network together. #artquilt #fungus 0100
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Y’all it was 91 degrees in my studio at 10:45 pm. No wonder the cats are all flat. And ironing is hot too. Ugh. #artquilt #fungus 1110
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Rough day with an old dog. Ironed some things. Left one is for a ceramic piece; right one is the beginning of ironing the one I’ve been working on for a month. I’ll be there for a while. #artquilt #fungus 090
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Sorted 800+ pieces tonight. Then started cleaning the studio so I could actually start picking fabrics tomorrow. #artquilt #fungus 080
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Everything is cut out and a bunch of things are washed out. A good day. #artquilt #fungus #dyepainting 0120
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Almost done with the underglazing; also almost done with cutting things out. One of these is missing a head. #artquilt #fungus #ceramicsculpture 0100
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I’m not sure this pile of cut-out pieces looks significantly different than yesterday’s pile. #artquilt #fungus 190
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Cutting shit out for the next 5 days… #artquilt #fungus 090
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Finished tracing (about 5 yards of Wonder Under ) despite Scribble, plus finished glazing the back of this finally. #artquilt #fungus #ceramicsculpture 0120
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Negotiating space…only 100 pieces left to trace…hopefully…because I keep finding pieces I forgot to number. #artquilt #fungus 0130
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Sat @techne_art_center today, enjoyed the company of friends (@la_chicana_catolica and others), and did some tracing. #artquilt #fungus 090
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Watched the lunar eclipse and traced some more stuff. It’s hot and progress is slow and sweaty. #artquilt #fungus 080
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I traced some tree parts while mourning some amazing artists, worrying about Nepal, and wanting to punch someone for Ms Frizzle, Tim, and Moby. #artquilt #fungus 080
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 26/08/2026This is what I get for making tall skinny pieces…also, the photographer made it look much better. I promise to post photos on the blog/website. Soon. When I have a name for it. #artquilt #humanrights 0140
Kathy Nida @knida.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Apparently I make art so my cat can interact with it. Tracing started. #artquilt #fungus 0111
