Somebody show Kevin this drawing I did for my daughter’s lunch box.
A joke and a drawing on a white piece of paper. It says “what did the janitor say when he jumped out of the closet?” Then “SUPPLIES!” There is a drawing of a surprised Kevin McDonald from a Kids in the Hall skit.

My current display on the “Staff Picks” shelf at the creative reuse center I help run 🦉 #twinpeaks
A shelf full of items that relate to the show Twin Peaks. Coffee mug, donut, miniature Douglas firs, a queen of hearts playing card, an owl notebook and necklace, a postcard of Snoqualmie Falls, chess pieces and blue roses. All sitting on a zig zag fabric with a red curtain backdrop.

On a similar vein, we watched Mel Brook’s History of the World Part 1 recently and I keep thinking of and laughing out loud at the scene with some birds being released if you need another good bird laugh!

Been a bit since I posted, but starting a new job has taken over life and made quilting time harder to come by. Still makin it happen though! Here’s a study of Friendship Star and Snowballs made with @sherrilynnwood.bsky.social and the Improv That Block Squad, always made with T-shirts 🧶 #quiltsky
A colorful quilt study lies on a carpeted floor. The study is an improv with Friendship Stars and Snowballs. It’s made with t-shirts only and uses magenta, teal, neon green and navy blue.Stacks of Snowball quilt blocks and HSTs lie on my work table. The same quilt study on the floor, but this one has a Brown Boston Terrier for scale.

I piece t-shirts together just fine! No reinforcement first (though some really thin t-shirts might need it). A normal quilt sandwich with batting and another layer (usually a bed sheet) has worked really well for all my T-shirt quilts!

It took a year, but I finished! This quilt was made for my friend who experienced a Bipolar 1 break that rocked our world. He’s doing well now, but there are still reverberations from that time. It was a reliable creative object to lean on throughout. More info in alt text about process! 🧶 #quiltsky
An art quilt hangs on a wood paneled wall. The quilt it made from t-shirts: white, black, and hand bleached. The blocks are improv Sawtooth Stars, in various states of explosion. Hundreds of red, metallic stitches hold the quilt together. There are sequins, beads, and pearls as added texture. The quilt is about 1’ x 3’ and it hangs from a bamboo rod by silver metal clips. The back of the quilt. I used a scrap of black fabric of unknown origin. The metallic, red stitches are obvious from this side. You can also see the metal rivets of the set pearls. I like this side, too.A side angle of the quilt. Many of the textural elements catch the light coming in through my basement window. A detailed shot of one of the stars, showing the variety of textural details. Metallic threads, sequins, seed beads, and set pearls. The diverse results of bleaching different black t-shirts is also apparent, with some deep orange, and others a barely faded brown.
