Fin #quiltsky
Rainbow alphabet quilt top wall hanging. Each row has 4 squares. From the top the rows are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet for a total of 28 squares. Each square except the top left and bottom right has a capital and lower case letter. 

I used black on white iron on letters for the capitals, (top stitched with white thread to be belt and braces) and felt letters for the lowercase letters. The quilt squares were sized based on the felt letters, since this set was advertised as being iron on and 52 pieces. However, the set was missing the capital B and E, the replacement set was also missing the B and E. And they weren't iron on. 

I top stitched the felt letters with a gold/ orange thread* using a backstitch so each letter is outlined. This works well for every letter except e which is orange on orange on orange. Shame this lined up on the most common letter in the English language. 

*The type used for jeans.

I'm making an alphabet wall hanging for my nibbling #quiltsky
A quilt top work in progress, currently there are 5 rows of 4 squares, with the colour theme of the rows, in descending order being red, orange, yellow, green, blue. 

I intend to add an indigo and violet row to the bottom, and have upper and lower case letters to add to each square except the top left and bottom right.

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the show runners of game of thrones 2011 - 2019 with the Benioff quote "Themes are for 8th grade book reports" superimposed upon them. 

Game of thrones's final series were poorly reviewed and this quote became infamous as a synecdoche of the issue these writers had adapting a series beyond the released books.

Screenshot of chat GPT with the prompt "I have a riddle for you: a male surgeon say "I cannot operation on this patient, He is my son!" how is this possible?"

Chat GPT replies
"This is possible because **the surgeon is the patient’s mother**.

The riddle plays on the assumption that a surgeon must be male, but women can be surgeons too."

Ok Herman Melville
Three level Expanding intellect meme starting with "A Whale is a mammal not a fish" referencing the fact that whales produce milk and breathe air.

Middle level is "A Whale is a spouting fish with a Horizontal Tail" this is the definition given by Ishmael in Moby Dick by Herman Melville.

The final image is "Every Vertebrate is a fish" This is due to Cladistics: a method of classifying organisms based on their evolutionary history. This is because bones evolved in fish so if you want gold fish (bony) and sharks (cartilaginous) in the same cade you have to include everything else too.

I love tartan pleatted to the stripe, why wouldn't you use the fabric to do the thing only it can do? Also pleats are great in a skirt, because more pleats=extra spinny
Maisie Peters performing at glastonbury, wearing a tightly pleated tartan skirt. The pattern changes in blocks because particular stripes of the tartan are visible at the top of the pleats.

On a kilt pleating to the stripe is often reserved for military kilts. But we should reclaim tartan, for too long we civilians have been under sumptuary laws, and even when repealed tradition holds us to them!
