QUILTS


based in my brain and from pre-prepared patterns


untitled (2024); quilting cotton

sewn for a class i took with Julie Zaichuk-Ryan at the local shop, Cut & Sew Studio. i don’t actually title my quilts for real, so maybe this is the most authentic presentation.




Buying Fabric Online at 3AM Cuz I’m Sad (2024); quilting cotton, mystery thrifted cotton

hand quilted. title says it all.




Zack’s Quilt (2023); quilting cotton; Broadcast pattern by Brigit Gail

i’m gonna say this straight and tell you right away that i was a fucking lunatic for attempting this one as a quilter who had never worked with this many curves.

made for my brother, who gave me free reign with no input whatsoever. colors as based on a Goosebumpbs comforter from the 90s.




COLUMBO (2022);  flannel, linen, cat hair


improv quilt that i only worked on while watching episodes of Columbo when my roommate was out of town.



PRODIGAL SON (2021); quilting cotton; Radiowaves pattern by Casey of Wellspring Designs

i love this pattern, but i fought with the colors for weeks and ended up frustrated with the final result. titled PRODIGAL SON because i put it aside for months after finishing it, and then ended up loving it when i rediscovered it.



FALLING LEAVES, alt title: CUTTING FABRIC FOR THIS PIECE OF SHIT TOOK TOO LONG (2021); quilting cotton


from a Robert Kaufman pattern. just because it says “beginner friendly” doesn’t mean you won’t have to cut out 600 1” wide strips of fabric.




LOVE U MOM (2020); bedsheets, fabric scraps


a patchwork quilt for my mama :)
