So Dude spent all yesterday digitizing an emoji to make a patch.
In the meantime I cleaned up a bunch of my own stuff– for Christmas I got a smaller hoop for my machine, and what I can do with that is use up the corners of stabilizer-prepared fabric that I embroidered something onto the middle of. With the 4″ hoop there’s actually a lot of space that the needle can’t really utilize, but it’s got to be the same good fabric and have stabilizer under it so there’s even pressure from the hoop.
So I took a couple of failed attempts from earlier, and hooped the 2″ hoop on each of the four corners of the fabric, and embroidered, mostly, rude words and phrases of 2 words or less.
I’m going to make a lap quilt. You know how everybody has specific decor things they get out for Christmas? A lot of people I know, anyway. They have little snowman-themed pillow shams for the couch, and lap quilts to tuck over the back of the couch, and snowman-needlepointed door draft-stoppers, and such. But in late January, you gotta put that shit away, it’s just not… right.
But it’s still winter. It feels weird to put your regular shit back on your couch and so on.
So I’m making a festive Sick Of Winter’s Shit crazy quilt for just this time of year. After Christmas, after the magic has worn off, and there’s still gonna be three solid months of cold dark wet bullshit, and you’re going to hurt yourself shoveling, wreck your favorite shoes in a puddle when you Choose Poorly because you thought it was all thawed (last night I almost died in cute boots ok), and the ol’ seasonal depresh crashes in because you got over your holiday stress but it’s all just a letdown and there’s nothing to look forward to.
I have a lot of worn-out garments with penguins on them, because in late high school my mother made me a fleece vest with penguins on it and everyone decided I was Into Penguins because I loved this vest. I loved it because it was comfortable and cozy, but I mean, I don’t not like penguins… so I wound up with a huge selection of penguin-themed sleepwear etc.
So I’m going to cut all those up and make this quilt out of them.
And it’s going to have a lot of swears on it.
And I’m going to make a semi-matching pillow sham, preferably in blue velvet with glitter, and it’s going to say Let It Snow on it a bunch of times but I’m going to make it off-center so it just says Tits Now, and that’s my winter-themed décor.
