I don’t want this to come off like some nationalistic rant, but I just thank God I was born right here in the good old US of A, where people can shred priceless 100 year old handmade quilts and make shitty dresses out of them.
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH

My 7 year old can “create” better stuff from my scrap box and NOT f*ck up a 100 year old quilt. I agreee Maw Naws everyhwere are grave spinning!

I definitely need to dig up the old hand-me-down sewing machine I’m pretty sure I have somewhere (never used by me), and learn how to use it well enough to sew crap together. (Oh…not literally “crap”…somehow I do feel the need to emphasize that here…)

I couldn’t even fathom doing this to a 100 year old quilt (well, ANY quilt, for that matter, because this is just ugly).

Also, how f^cking dumb are her customers that she has to explain that a rooster is a typical farm animal?
*smacks own forehead*
Oh, right, dumb enough to pay $400 for all the hours she spent creating this travesty.
Excuse me while I go produce something that is merely technically proficient and visually pleasing.

I can see using a quilt that was severely damaged already, though it would be better to make a keepsake, not a dress. Something to conserve what’s left of the quilt rather than wear it out further. I’ve seen people who make custom keepsakes from old wedding gowns, etc.

To clarify: you put a sweater or shirt on your body as a pair of pants. You do not tear apart a 100 year old quilt to make a piece of crap out of it.

Second, regarding the “Pussy in the Woods,” a) is this a brooch you wear??? and b) why/how would it move as you walk as claimed in the description? and c) would you want it to move as you walk??? Oh, and d) is that a vagina on it? Is that the Pussy in the Woods?

I’ve gone back to this several times and can’t decide if this reminds me of a medieval torture of some kind or a growth a la Elephant Man. Either way, I just can’t get my mind to go to playing in a garden in any form. This looks painful.

- Cutting up a quilt – enough said.
- Antique lace may or may not be valuable, depending on a lot of factors, but it’s a shame to cut it up for THIS.
- If she had sacrificed various textiles to make a beautiful, meaningful work of art, more power to her. But this!
Who buys this stuff? Who wears it? Do they stalk around in it at restaurants and bars trying to impress each other? Because it sure isn’t impressing the rest of us.

on another note, i don’t see the point of shredding an antique item. even if it had no sentimental value to the seller, at one time it was cherished and loved. kinda like the velveteen rabbit.

Wow, do you think someone is currently re-evaluating their crafting abilities tonight? I’m just amazed because usually they just come on here and tell us we suck. (Kind of find that amusing at times.)

This scarf is pretty. But the $40 price is baffling. Handspun material grown perenially by families in Nepal…. someone is getting shortchanged. I do like the scarf, however.

I vote we all chip in one dollar.
We could raise $400 bucks, and some person who can sew (which is not me) can sew it back up possibly adding appropriate spoonflower whimsicleness and add it to the blanket collection than is alledgedly killing babies.

i love that she says this about one of her items: “Wear it back to front or front to back.”

most of her items look like she gave up halfway through. i’d hate to see the prices on them if she had finished.

1) yeah, i can kinda see what she was going for, and it would have been cool, but she totally missed the mark.
2) why the fuck would she use a 100-year-old quilt instead of one from walmart or something?
3) i feel the same way about most of her items – the materials are pretty cool, but she wastes them. (except the “pussy in the woods”, which apparently she made from crap she found on the ground?)
but most importantly:
4) “back to front” and “front to back” are the same thing!

The only way I can think of this and not want to scream, is to consider that perhaps this is what was left/recoverable from a badly damaged quilt.
