#quilt class

Rollercoaster Tycoon, spring 2024.

machine pieced, long-arm quilted. some of the top is naturally dyed with madder or painted on with bleach. (the ice dye you might be spotting was done by my professor! <33)

i feel like no matter what lighting i try to take photos of this little quilt in, it either looks washed out of over-saturated :/// oh well!! some backlog from school (which i graduated from! whoa!) this was my first improvisational quilt and my first time using our long-arm sewing machine! i miss her ;;;;~;;;; but this little guy cemented for me how much i like allowing a quilt to be whatever wonky shape it turns out as.

This is an online quilt workshop. Personally, I can't do workshops. Between audio processing disorder and the price of workshops, it's not something I find appealing. My mother, one of my aunts, and my grandmother enjoy workshops, so perhaps some of you may as well.

Hey y'all! Weird question time again, this time martial arts related: If you ever took a martial arts class that included sparring, did they teach you how to fall and how to throw a punch (like physically how to hold your hand and wrist as you punch so you don't hurt yourself) Because it occurs to me that the classes I took never went over that? And like, I didn't really need them to, my mom used to teach kickboxing and taught me to throw a punch correctly when I was a very little kid, but it's weird that it never came up, right? My mom and I took the classes together, and a few times we brought a friend of mine and they did not teach her how to throw a punch either and she was a total beginner

HHhH I wanted to tumble-dry the quilt to revive it a little, it spent three weeks vacuum packed, but this bizzarely stupid "intelligent" washer/dryer decided (despite me explicitly specifying not to) to run some kind of hot "steam dry" cycle that looks like it has the same effect as a hot wash. Blue colour runs all over the place. Currently consulting with the relatives about solving colour runs while it goes for another cold wash, hopefully the steam cycle didn't make anything permanent. Fuck!

it makes me sad how often textile arts are ignored as actual art forms, and are relegated to the disregarded realm of 'old lady hobbies'. there is so much skill involved, such a broad diversity of forms, but so many people straight up do not think of things like crochet or quilting as art.

What Gym Class Heroes album should I listen to first, having only heard a few scattered songs before?

okay, okay. good question. personally? i would listen to them all in chronological order (The Papercut Chronicles, then As Cruel as School Children, then The Quilt, then The Papercut Chronicles II) to see the change and growth of the band as a whole cuz that's kind of what i did. but if you wanna do a vibes based approach, i'll give you the rundown on all the albums.

if i had to clearly define each album as a singular vibe i would say they are Sad, Sexy, Experimental and Cunt.

The Papercut Chronicles (February 22nd, 2005) - SAD

angst on angst on angst. there's suicide, addiction, self harm, breakups, self loathing, homophobic violence, addiction, depression, shitty relationships, addiction and did i mention addiction? you've got Cupid's Chokehold and Make Out Club to add a little fun and sexiness but it's a lottttt of heavy shit. Travie's not fucking around on this, he's getting in! to! it! my favourite song right now would probably be To Bob Ross with Love but you should listen to it straight through, in order the first time.

As Cruel as School Children (July 25th, 2006) - SEXY

in an interview, Travie was asked to describe As Cruel as School Children using one word and he picked "sexy." i agree with him, this is a sexy ass album. are you feeling sexy? would you like to feel sexier? Clothes Off! fucks severely and makes me fan myself like a victorian man seeing an ankle for the first time. you want horny romance? you got that. you want student/teacher? you got that. you want ye older internet romance? you got that. you want sex and addiction? you got that. you want sex as a metaphor for addiction? you best believe you got that!! also the sloppy love jingles? hawt <3 my fave song right now would probably be Shoot Down the Stars.

The Quilt (September 8th, 2008) - EXPERIMENTAL

there's a wide variety of genres and themes in this one. there's drunk sex, there's legal trouble, there's father-son bonding, there's a really excellent and non offensive trans joke, there's so many pop culture references, there's infidelity and there's a whole bunch of disses that i think go really hard. like i know in my heart that Travie could rip Drake a new one. the album opens up with fucking JAZZ, then there's fabulous rap and hip hop of course, with some Pumped Up Kicks kind of pop (happy music, dark lyrics) and some seriously sick ass guitar (thank you Disashi <333). my fave song right now would probably be Guilty as Charged

The Papercut Chronicles II (November 11th, 2011) - CUNT

CUNT is a mixture of confidence, sexiness, no fucks given and talent wrapped up in 11 bad bitch tracks. 14 years of Gym Class Heroes came together into this fucking beauty of an album. i'm just saying, if your fave album is so good, how come it didn't get a sequel? we've got back to back bangers that are not afraid to reference or not reference old Gym Class Heroes lore and they all do what they do fucking beautifully. there's confidence, there's vulnerability, there's religion, there's metaphors coming out of everything, there's fucking SICKENING guitar and beats, there's fight songs, there's love songs, there's grocery shopping, there's dinosaurs, there's breakups and there's dollar signs instead of S's. my fave song right now would probably be Martyrial Girl$

so yeah, that's my take on every Gym Class Heroes album <3 listen to them in order tho
