maybe converted tonight

i know i know. you are thinking i (i meaning you) have seen all these quilts. at this point you (you meaning me) are just recycling old pictures of quilts you did forever ago because you live at home with your mom and you havent done anything productive in a month. or two months. maybe it was january.

i live at home with my mom. but i dont really like talking about it.

the purple quilt i made for colleen. i went to visit her in january and i got to see the purple quilt again. the quilt seems to like her st george home.

here is baby e's quilt. she likes to smile and hug and i suspect she is the best baby ever.

i made this quilt in a quilting class. the quilt i was supposed to make looks nothing like this. i was never good with patterns. (seriously i mean nothing) (the other quilt had santas on it or something).

and here is colleen with my nine patch. nine patch seems like a pretty tough name for a quilt. i wish it looked a little more macho. and. although i moved home for a bit i am trying to finish up some projects and get rid of some fabric and there should be some new and exciting stuff on this blog shortly. and by new and exciting i mean sort of more of the same.

the end.

dark is the night

i had a dream which i think stemmed from a conversation with colleen in which she asked what the difference is between a sociopath and a psychopath. i said a sociopath had no empathy and can kill people but be smart about it but a psychopath lost touch with reality and just starts killing people. both are to be avoided. i dont know. its sounds right to me. so then i had a dream that i was at the store and some kids started robbing it. i came back to find that the quilt i had been making my grandma (who wasnt really my grandma because she is dead and it didnt even look like her) was destroyed in the robbery. and i was so annoyed. anyway my grandma had already called the insurance company to make a claim on the quilt. they were giving her $3 a yard. but then the kids came back and they started killing everyone and i kept trying to call 911 but i called all the other number variations of 911 instead.

and, i just finished one of my favorite quilts so far. i gave it to brian as the sole follower of surging urges. he claims he doenst have a camera and he flushed his phone down the toilet which i thought only happened in movies so the quilt is not pictured. imagine a really good one.

barometer for pretty happy

yes so today i finished a quilt not pictured and i had an apartment openhouse so that i can fulfill a life time dream to live with my mom in my thirties and while i was finishing said quilt i was by the window and noticed a creepy guy outside and i was thinking oh i hope that creepy guy isnt going to look at my apartment because i had just discussed with tanya that i really didnt want any creepy guys in my apartment which is why i stopped having hometeachers. anyway. said creepy guy went away and i was relieved. and then he came back in fifteen minutes so i figured he had moved in and i was like oh great good thing i am moving. but then at the end of my apartment open house he knocked on the door (from from just what i saw was his third time coming into my apartment complex) and was even more creepy then i had even imagined. he didnt even look at my apartment but probably was just trying to figure out how best to break in and kill me dead.

he was about 5 10 and had sandy blond hair and a green plaid shirt.

shake your booties

pipper's sent me some pics of him modeling his quilt.

babies really appreciate presents. actually they dont care. today i gave baby E a valentine shirt in case she has a baby boyfriend. it has lots of hearts and glitter and i think she liked it.

i call this one baby burrito.

this post made me wonder if you can glitter a quilt.

sorry about your cat and your hair

i think all my quilts are starting to look the same. im not in a rut im just lazy and babies are being born all over the place. this one was born in canada. the baby not the quilt. colls had a nephew (theophilus)(aka pip)(i call him pippers)(something tells me he will request not to be called pippers in the near future). this is pippers quilt.

i wanted it to be green but colleen said pippers likes blue or maybe that was just his mom but i figured color preference is probably hereditary.

quilting blogs are not very exciting. b was asking me the other day if i started a new blog and i said no its a sewing blog so its a snooze and he said oh you mean sewooze. (i feel like i quoted him wrong). to spice it up i added a picture of me and colls trying to get our joint modeling career off the ground.

can you see the spaceships

i made baby oliver a quilt. i should add a special thank you to elin and jo for providing me with red fabric when i was too lazy to go to the store. i could use some more red fabric if anyone has any extra. also arlo pointed out i should wait to give it to the baby until he is older so i can get a thank you card out of. so oliver its uncle arlo's fault you dont get this baby quilt until you can write. incidentally, uncle arlo shouldnt be trusted.

i never asked about your love life

its looks kind of wrinkley but its a baby quilt. i guess a wrinkley baby quilt. it has vintage fabric. i sort of hate saying something is vintage. does it sound too trendy? some of the material is old. real old.
