um, i started quilting.

so yeah. i have this giant sack of fabric scraps because i hate waste. scraps are like sewing's leftovers, and my mama taught me to make stuff out of leftovers.

turns out it's fun. i knew it would be, i love making something cute out of basically nothing. but i'm not really into the quilt aesthetic...am i?

i love a blanket, after all. so anyway, i started stitchin with Amy Gibson on Craftsy (why was that name so familiar??? i wondered. oh...because i combined baby baby and electric youth. AWESOME.) Amy's doing a block a month, with December dedicated to binding and whatever else it takes to make the blocks into an actual quilt. She's hugely pregnant right now, so I am curious about how that's all going to go.
nonetheless! I stitched and slashed to make an asterisk. here it is!

those stripes used to be boxer shorts. :P

also this "wonky pound sign"

boxers + old sheet = new blanky

It is So. Satisfying.

Shall we have a Quilting Bee? GAWD i want to have a sewing slumber party. are you in??? after the olympics, obvy.
