current project…. in progress

Excellent article for those who have purchased ny work and would like to see a few options about displaying it. I have a quilt draped over the top of a recliner, another on the top/back of my sofa, the back of my sewing chair, clipped to Command hooks and drapery clips on the walls, laid out on my computer desk, decorating my coffee table, set up on an altar, over the bed, and soon there will be a couple on The Monster/big hutch we'll be moving into my quilting room. I also plan on making one to display where a headboard should be. We don't have a headboard, but we do have a very large bare wall. Of course, more quilts will be made and set up around our home, like wallhangings, a map for my husband's DnD games, a quilt for the man-cave, mini quilts to set up under potted plants...because I can and want to.

I'm have a Really Bad Day and could do with some help making it better, be it a commission or selling something from my shop.

Commissioned work will begin next week, after we get the painting done in the soon-to-be quilting room.

Pay-What-You-Want

For this, pay whatever you want, but with a few rules.

You don't get to choose anything but a single color.

I make whatever tickles my fancy.

If you just want a quilt top or a stack of quilt blocks, and not a finished quilt, let me know and that's what you will get.

You won't see it until it arrives. No work-in-progress pics will be shared. When confirmed it's been received, I'll wait a few days before sharing pics. Please make a post with pics and your review, then tag me so I can see and reblog it.

Paying more doesn't necessarily mean I'll make something that would match that price. Though there is a very good chance that will happen. $300 may result in an eight piece placemat set (four coaster and four placemats), a wallhanging, or a lap quilt. $50 may get you a stack of coasters, a mug rug, or a couple placemats.

There is a risk with this, but when people commissioned me using this option before, no one was disappointed.

I have a poll for my Ko-fi members (monthly supporters) with the option for one-off supporters to answer as well.

This is specifically for my members. I would like to know what it is you would rather like to receive as a gift coming this autumn/winter. You receive a postcard each month, except for one or two months when I send handmade items. No gifts thus far this year because I wasn't able to do any sewing for six months, and have since been focused on building my inventory, dealing with home improvements and repairs, putting my quilting room together, and just...a lot has been happening. My favorite holiday is the month-long celebration of Halloween, followed by Yule. Which of the following would you rather receive? Top two majority will determine which will be sent out this year.

If you are not a member and would like to receive the benefits of one, head over to my membership page.

Here are just some things I've gifted in the past:

I'm going to make this abundantly clear, seeing as I've received four commission inquiries, all asking for similar things.

I will never, under any circumstances, make Nazi, white power, racist, TERF, sexist, hate group things. There is not enough money in the world that could ever convince me to make hateful horrific things.

Anyone who asks me to make such things will be blocked. Asking me for this on Ko-fi will also result in me reporting you to those in charge. They've got even less tolerance than I do and will delete your account and block you from making another.

Now do the world a favor and walk off a very high cliff into a very deep chasm. You will not be missed.

Please remember to use either two layers of cotton batting or a single layer if insulated batting.

Mini quilts with a matching rag doll? Hmmm...this idea has been poking at my mind for a couple years now. It won't be am especially cheap thing, and the dolls will take a lot of space I don't really have seeing as we have no closets. Storing them in plastic bins risks trapping moisture in there, and the quilt bags I need to store finished quilts won't have a lot of space to spare.

But it's such a cute idea! I loooove rag quilts and once made them pretty regularly. Making them out of quilting scraps would be a good way to use up my scraps. Mini quilts made for each doll would awesome.

Is this something that would sell? I really don't know. There are still stacks if little things in my shop that are taking up precious space in my sewing room and standing wardrobe. I think I might make two or three of these pairs, then use those to pics as ragdoll-quilt samples for a commission listing. After that's set up, have a drawing for my monthly supporter, and send the winners a ragdoll with a mini quilt.

But before any of that...

I was never a lover of plushies. What I did loved were rag dolls, my favorite being the sort with strips of fabric for hair. Making them will be nostalgic. Perhaps some y'all feel this way as well?

Funny accurate thing I say about my husband and myself:

I am a box of crayons married to a Gothic.

This never ceases to make people laugh, including my husband. Y'all have seen ny work and know my love for color. My husband's style is goth, his favorite color is black. However, he has developed a love for purple and blue, mostly because I showed him how wonderful they look with black. He likes the way turquoise looks with silver and black, too. Next tear, we're painting his man-cave royal purple, and he even chose the color himself.

When we bought this house, though, he happily declared the entire front area as my space. Even agreed to help keep make it more colorful. He's really looking forward to what we plan in doing to the living room this winter: painting is three shades of purple like an ombre effect with royal purple nearest the floor, a pastel version towards the top, and an explosion of purple flowers all over the ceiling with bits if white, green, and yellow. The bedroom walls have him especially excited. That room will have trees painted on the walls and the ceiling painted to look like the arm of the Milky Way.

I will be painting all if these spaces with his assistance.

The man is goth, but he has a deep appreciation for color. Especially the way this box of crayons makes the dark come alive.

My husband surprised me with a trip to the hardware store and getting all the supplies. It was $153 USD, which will have us tight for at least a week. If any of y'all would like to help out, feel free to do so. Reblogging helps because more people will see this post. Thank you!

With some good luck, I may be able to afford all the supplies I need to paint the soon-to-be quilting room by the end of next week.

Three cans of paint - two green for the walls, one off-white for the ceiling and The Monster

Two rollers

Two paintbrushes

Two roller pans

Painters tape

Tarp to cover the floor and window

I also need new hardware for The Monster. Hinges to replace the ones on it, drawer pulls, and cabinet nobs. They're gonna be replaced with daisy and flower themed pieces. On days where I need to rotate hobbies to prevent burnout, I'll paint designs on The Monster. I even have stencils for this!

How you can help:

Purchase my work - my shop is here, and everything has the option to pay more than my asking price.

Donate - you can do so on my ko-fi page, cashapp, or directly via PayPal (but mark as Friends and Family)

Reblog this post for more people to see it. Likes aren't seen; they're just bookmarks for yourself.

Snatch up one of the three small commission slots. Again, with the option to pay more than my asking price. I ship worldwide!

I have a post pinned on my main blog @anotherdayforchaosfay with info. If it isn't there, the goal has been reached.
