This show opens on Saturday, September 16th in Washington DC, but it was organized by the American Folk Art Museum of New York. Part of the exhibition is what they call a Community Quilt. And the curators explained "Visitors to the exhibition are invited to contribute to our community quilt. Stitch a place in the cartography of Washington, D.C., that holds special significance for you." I am not sure how that will work but I am intrigued.

I am primarily a dressmaker, not a quilter, but I have been inspired by beautiful colors and shapes in quilts. This show offers up traditional early-American quilts up to contemporary quilts. Click through to see m ore info and for some pictures.

who wants to start a textile art web ring with me 😭💖

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

getting started: neocities/html guide

sound interesting? here are some guides to help you get started, especially if you aren't familiar with html/css sadgrl.online webmastery | a fantastic resource for getting started with html & web revival. also has a layout builder that you can use to start with in case starting from scratch is too intimidating web design in 4 minutes | good for learning coding basics w3schools | html tutorials templaterr | demo & html for basic web elements eggramen test pages | css page templates to get started with sadgrl background tiles | bg tiles rivendell background tiles | more free bg tiles

fun stuff to add to your site

want your site to be cool? here's some fun stuff that i've found blinkies-cafe | fantastic blinkie maker! (run by @transbro & @graphics-cafe) gificities | internet archive of 90s/00s web gifs internet bumper stickers | web bumper stickers momg | gif gallery 99 gif shop | 3d gifs 123 guestbook | add a guestbook for people to leave messages cbox | add a live chat box moon phases | track the phases of the moon gifypet | a little clickable page pet adopt a shroom | mushroom page pet tamaNOTchi | virtual pet crossword puzzle | daily crossword imood | track your mood neko | cute cat that chases your mouse pollcode | custom poll maker website hit counter | track how many visitors you have

web revival manifestos & communities

also, there's actually a pretty cool community of people out there who want to bring joy back to the web! melonland project | web project/community celebrating individual & joyful online experiences. Also has an online forum melonland intro to web revival | what is web revival? melonking manifesto | status cafe | share your current status nightfall city | online community onio.cafe | leave a message and enjoy the ambiance sadgrl internet manifesto | yesterweb internet manifesto | sadly defunct, still a great resource reclaiming online social spaces | great manifesto on cultivating your online experience

in conclusion

i want everyone to make a neocities site because it's fun af and i love seeing everyone's weird personal sites that they made outside of the control of capitalism :) say hi to me on neocities

A dream come true...

A dream come true…

An Enchanted Reverie 1st prize ribbon at IIQF 2021, Theme Quilt category Has it been only 3 years? Somehow it feels like more … I had just made my first art quilt, Gathered Treasures … my friend Marianne came home for a quilting meet and said casually “ have you thought of entering into a quilt competition?” . Have I ?! oh god, I’ve dreamed of it ! Every time I saw a quilt that was displayed at…

Must make quilt or event is the prompt for day 30 of IGQuiltFest2021. I have a lot of bucket list items. I love Oregon and I love the idea of an outdoor quilt show. Naturally, the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show is an event I would like to attend and teach at. What’s your favorite quilting event that you would like to attend? #igquiltfest2021 #igquiltfest2021day30 #sistersoutdoorquiltshow #bluebearquilts #quilting #quiltshow #oregon https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDKu5NnUmW/?igshid=f8fmh3lpglnl

This is one quilt that I will never forget. It is such a breathtaking design!! #quiltsofinstagram Reposting @feministtexican: ... I ended up placing honorable mention at the Rio Grande Valley #quiltshow this weekend. 😁 I more than doubled @freespiritfabric's Carnival Pinwheels recipe and changed the sashing to make a king size quilt. It took 8 months, 27 feet of butcher paper, 21 fabrics, and a decent amount of blood loss. 😂 #quilt #quiltsofinstagram
