A photograph of a quilt. The quilt has red designs on a white background and a few green accents. It has an 8-pointed star at the center, a diagonal log cabin motif, decorative triangles in the corners, a zig-zag pattern at the top and bottom, and finally a few solid borders. The quilt is large enough to fit on a full-size bed. It is being held up in front of a grove of trees with red and yellow leaves.ALT

made my first quilt 👍

pattern is “serenade park avenue” by toby lischko

This quilt was created because I wanted to make something undeniably queer, and something other than a pride flag (which are nice but sometimes lack the vibe i get being in community). It’s inspired by the hanky code and all the amazing queer men who I’ve learned from over the years. For a block choice I couldn’t go past a bear paw, which I personally feel is the gayest block (and not just because I am one ;)).

As is only fitting it will be a gift for one of the people who taught me so much!

The splash page for a video game: "Cross Stitched". Baba Yaga's house on chicken legs is menaced by a babushka holding fire in her hands, and by a winged, sphinxlike woman.ALT
A screenshot of a cross-stitch-style pixel art game. Baba Yaga's house on chicken legs shoots projectiles at various enemies. The characters, HP and experience bars, and scenery are all elaborate embroidery motifs.ALT
The powerup screen for Cross Stitched. Three perks are available: one that adds one additional projectile, and two that would expand the power of existing perks. Each perk is represented by an elaborate red-and-black geometric cross stitch motif.ALT

just played a cool game jam game on Itch.io– Cross Stitched, where you play Baba Yaga as you try and fight your way out of a tapestry, and collect and enhance powerups in your own tapestry as you do.

It’s real simple– game jam game and all– but lots of fun, and insanely beautiful!

I love the use of the phrase ‘some strange alchemy’ as a descriptor for a process you don’t understand.

'Through some strange alchemy(crochet) they turned a bundle of yarn into a stuffed giraffe’

'Through some strange alchemy(bad cooking) they turned a perfectly marinated steak into a charcoal briquet’

'Through some strange alchemy(good cooking) they turned a pile of slop into the fluffiest bread loaf I’d ever seen’

'Through some strange alchemy(bad reading comprehension) they took my polite statement and turned into a disgusting act against the poor’

and so on

An embroidery worked with black thread on a natural canvas fabric. The text reads "Through some strange alchemy(embroidery) they turned a skein of floss into your post"ALT

@stitchposts I need you to know you’ve obliterated my notifications with this.

Done more than double the original notes.

I have mixed feelings. It’s mostly amused bewilderment, with a healthy dose of 'I’m happy that so many people think my dumb joke is funny and that someone elevated it to a fiber-craft that even more people love’

But there’s also a definitive pinch of 'fuck you what have you done’

I love tumblr.

An embroidery of very dark brown text stitched on a white fabric. The text reads "from the bottom of my heart: my bad"ALT

16 frame shooting star animation.
January 2022-September 2024
Needlepoint

Frames from my shooting star gif. 16 frames total. Each frame is 8x6.5 inches on a 10” mesh. Designed and animated in photoshop and needlepointed by me. I started drafting this 1/14/22 and finished animating it 9/25/24. It took approximately two years and eight months to finish. This is one of the largest projects I’ve ever worked on and I’m very happy with how it turned out.
