someone stole my bike

i made this here quilt for my parents. for christmas. its july or august or something. what does time mean to me? here are very similar looking pictures but i only have these two and with a picture intensive blog i feel that i should post both and consider in the future perhaps a nice close up or two.

you know how im into ganster rap right

nephew finally got his baby quilt. although it made me late for his blessing and i missed it. and i like blessings. i always want them to change the babys name last minute but i have never seen it happen. i was mad because everyone forgot to invite me but then i accidentally found out about it and had to drive to eagle mountain which i hate. i hate eagle mountain and since i hate it and had to drive there i cursed it with a sore cursing.

but then i got there and i heard a pretty interesting talk about how mormons should hate socialism but not me i love socialism and then i dropped my purse which i was organizing (multi tasking) and i think everyone knew i was liberal.

if you went to art city days you would have been in for a treat this year. here are some of the quilts we saw. and by we i mean me and my parents. at the quilt show we ran into my great aunt who doesnt remember me (or really anyone to be fair) but she remembers she likes quilts. i think this quilt is about joseph smith jr.

you probably cant see this quilt but the little animals in the middle are walruses. a pink blue and green one but you probably can see that part. whoever made this one is clearly awesome.

flags and flowers were common themes.

as were egyptians.

across the street in the art museum there was a flower show. i went over to the art museum to get an entry form for some quilt show they have there but i probably wont get into it so dont get your hopes up. were your hopes up? get them down.

back to the foliage an entry included a doll looking at herself in the mirror. looking good dolly!

there were balloons and cotton candy everywhere of course.

here is my family at the parade. i would put up a picture of myself but i sort of look like an alcoholic in the morning. i dont promote drinking i just look like i do.

we all showed up to support my mom who is on this float. she is obviously the super excited person under the umbrella. she made me pick out a new outfit months in advance but decided not to wear it due to "weather concerns" but really i heard she was worried she was wearing a rival cities colors.

oh yeah at the quilt show i got to talk to my neighbor who makes birds out of garbage and puts them in his yard.

he is making a new chicken out of a toaster or something. he had a clever name for it which i promptly forgot. i was never good with coming up with or retaining clever names other people came up with.

the end.

once elin told me no one would ever love me

but this tortilla is not hiding its feelings.

its like living in seattle these days

i like this one. it has a lot of squares. i cant really remember what i was going for when i was making it. im hoping it was a lot of squares. i started it like two years ago so there is no telling what i was thinking. im making one now that is a lot of stripes. and by making one right now i mean i started sewing it six months ago and now i just sort of think about it sometimes.

nephews and scrap quilts

i have a new nephew lucas. i have never actually seen him awake but i can tell he is pretty fun. i havent made him a quilt but i bet he will eventually get one. if he plays his cards right. also i think he weighed 7'11'' and i immediately got a slurpee to celebrate.

here is my outdoors quilt that i dont want to use outdoors anymore because i like it too much. but, for people interested in outdoor quilts, i got a good suggestion once that you can make little pockets in the corners which you can put rocks in to keep it down in the wind. i didnt do that because its hard.

and on a personal note i could be done with allergy season.

summertime

my friend summer is having a baby and i made this quilt. its really really pink. and blue because i wont be bossed around by gendered colors.
