My quilt series - Generative Threads - integrates algorithmic code with quilting to examine identity’s cyclical evolution. Through shifting colour and geometric pattern, the work reflects states of visibility, erasure and personal expansion. #genart 13 years of quilting + code. 🖤 13, 12, 11, 10…

It takes Processing about 2 seconds to render this design and it takes me approximately FOREVER to sew it. This is 10/13 (but I’m not doing them in order so I have 7 more to go. 😭) #genart #generativeart

I only photograph quilts on the windiest days. Generative Threads Quilt 13/13. Designed with 13 year old code and handmade with love. 🖤 Credit where credit is due: my Processing + Hype framework started as a collab w/ Joshua Davis. Forever grateful. #generativeart #generativetextiles #genart

I use Processing to randomly generate designs that I then make into quilts.

Facing a quilt with gold fabric. On a scale of 1 - 10, How fun will it be to hand-stitch through the pigment? ☠️

Went to my doctor today to talk about 50yo lady stuff. I love that she asked if I’ve read ‘All Fours’ by Miranda July. Yep… 😭

I figured it was a contract issue. It’s so spread out and don’t even get me started on trying to find coffee nearby. 😵‍💫

:\ My least favourite QC venue. Maybe they signed a multi-year contract?

I’ve quietly been working on 13 Quilts. All designed by original generative code I began using 13 years ago in collab with @praystation. I’ve always loved that the computer is like, “Surprise! Here’s some crazy shit I came up with. Now figure out how to make it real.” Exhibit in France this Fall.

I have an electric rotary which is like a power tool to cut through multiple layers at once.

I finished the top of Quilt 13 for my Generative Threads project. Only twelve more to go. Used the original #Processing code from 2012 to render the series. #genart #generativetextiles

The top for Number 13 of 13 generative quilts, designed with #Processing code from 2012, is almost complete! 😅 Downside… I’m working backwards so I still have 12 quilts to go. 😂 #generativequilts #genart #generativetextiles #generativecraft (Do we even use hashtags in Bsky?)

The other night, my American nephews wanted to watch the Adam Sandler movie ‘50 First Dates’ but I thought they said ‘51st State’ and it shook me to my core.

That’s the thing… I’m more than just my business so sometimes I feel like I need a place to share other things. And, no matter where or what I post, my values come first.

Yes, I feel like I need a place for non-quilting posts but maybe I actually don’t.

Quilters of all ages are my main audience but we’re all on so many platforms now that it’s hard to decide which ones I have energy for.

Are people setting up Flashes? And, if so, are you really setting up a dedicated account? I’m trying to decide how to proceed…because social media is exhausting and I need efficiency.
Screenshot of an intro page on the Flashes app that says, “Want the best experience? Consider creating a dedicated Bluesky account for your visual content. It’s a great way to keep your photo and video sharing separate from your regular Bluesky activities.”

Oof, what a week. But here is a block for @libselliott.com’s Sew Squad Block of the Month. It’s bright and cheerful and makes me smile when I look at it. #quiltsky
A quilt block made of squares and half square triangles. The colors are blue, orange, pink, and white.

Started on a #BotM #quiltblock yesterday. I haven’t chosen my fabric yet for the full @libselliott.com quilt, but I thought I’d do a #scrappy version with fat quarters I already have. I’m a pretty novice #quilter so I want to practice the techniques. Still have to #sew this together!
squares and half square triangles laid out in a checker pattern with a lighter diamond rotated in the center. Shades of pink with black and white

I started sewing a repurposed garment yesterday out of these Warhol x Levi’s that never fit me right. But today I’ve decided to leave the project until after QuiltCon. I just want to spend time with my family and not feel the pressure to show up in AZ with ‘all the things’.
Photo of the inside of a pair of cut-up Andy Warhol x Levi’s jeans. The printing on the inside says ‘Fragile Handle with Care’ in repeat. The stamp on the pocket shows an image of Andy Warhol and says it’s pair 148/297. Waist size 28.

My Electric Pineapple quilt top is done!! My first king size quilt top. I started this just over a year ago, at our last house. This quilt has been a friend during some stressful times and will be a comfort and bring joy for years to come. Pattern by @libselliott.com #quiltsky
