All the quilts on display in France at Carrefour European Quilt Show. Here until 21-Sept. #genartclub
My quilt series - Generative Threads - integrates algorithmic code with quilting to examine identity’s cyclical evolution. Through shifting colour and geometric pattern, the work reflects states of visibility, erasure and personal expansion. #genart 13 years of quilting + code. 🖤 13, 12, 11, 10…

Generative Quilt top 4 of 13. Four colours with a hint of the fifth colour that shows up in Quilt 5. Designed with Processing, sewn with luv. 🖤 #genart #genartclub #generativeart
It takes Processing about 2 seconds to render this design and it takes me approximately FOREVER to sew it. This is 10/13 (but I’m not doing them in order so I have 7 more to go. 😭) #genart #generativeart
I only photograph quilts on the windiest days. Generative Threads Quilt 13/13. Designed with 13 year old code and handmade with love. 🖤 Credit where credit is due: my Processing + Hype framework started as a collab w/ Joshua Davis. Forever grateful. #generativeart #generativetextiles #genart
Facing a quilt with gold fabric. On a scale of 1 - 10, How fun will it be to hand-stitch through the pigment? ☠️
Went to my doctor today to talk about 50yo lady stuff. I love that she asked if I’ve read ‘All Fours’ by Miranda July. Yep… 😭
I’ve quietly been working on 13 Quilts. All designed by original generative code I began using 13 years ago in collab with @praystation. I’ve always loved that the computer is like, “Surprise! Here’s some crazy shit I came up with. Now figure out how to make it real.” Exhibit in France this Fall.
I finished the top of Quilt 13 for my Generative Threads project. Only twelve more to go. Used the original #Processing code from 2012 to render the series. #genart #generativetextiles
Happiness is a rainbow 🌈 especially one of new #quilting #fabric 😻 Some @libselliott.com Phosphor colours for my stash.
The top for Number 13 of 13 generative quilts, designed with #Processing code from 2012, is almost complete! 😅 Downside… I’m working backwards so I still have 12 quilts to go. 😂 #generativequilts #genart #generativetextiles #generativecraft (Do we even use hashtags in Bsky?)
The other night, my American nephews wanted to watch the Adam Sandler movie ‘50 First Dates’ but I thought they said ‘51st State’ and it shook me to my core.
Are people setting up Flashes? And, if so, are you really setting up a dedicated account? I’m trying to decide how to proceed…because social media is exhausting and I need efficiency.
Some of my favourite artists! ♥️

Oof, what a week. But here is a block for @libselliott.com’s Sew Squad Block of the Month. It’s bright and cheerful and makes me smile when I look at it. #quiltsky
Started on a #BotM #quiltblock yesterday. I haven’t chosen my fabric yet for the full @libselliott.com quilt, but I thought I’d do a #scrappy version with fat quarters I already have. I’m a pretty novice #quilter so I want to practice the techniques. Still have to #sew this together!
I started sewing a repurposed garment yesterday out of these Warhol x Levi’s that never fit me right. But today I’ve decided to leave the project until after QuiltCon. I just want to spend time with my family and not feel the pressure to show up in AZ with ‘all the things’.
6am on a saturday and i’m watching quilting tutorials to soothe my brain (hands by @libselliott.com)
My Electric Pineapple quilt top is done!! My first king size quilt top. I started this just over a year ago, at our last house. This quilt has been a friend during some stressful times and will be a comfort and bring joy for years to come. Pattern by @libselliott.com #quiltsky
Yesterday, I did my first workout in forever. It’s shocking how out of shape I am, how much my body has changed in the last few years and how a lack of movement has affected my mental health. Starting is the hardest part.
I’m really hoping I have enough backing left to make the binding. This is one of the first larger quilts I completed with minimal help! Longarmed by a local friend. Fabric and design by @libselliott.com. My lap sized electric pineapple quilt. I think another one is in my near future 🤣
I think I cried at least once every day this week. But I also laughed so, yeah. Keep going. 🖤
