beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Lisa Makes Stuff (she/her)<p>This was yesterday's completed prototype. I'd never made a Dresden Plate before, so this was challenging on 2 fronts.<br>The plate is from thrifted silk neckties. The background and binding are cotton fabrics from my stash. The overall size is about 21" square(-ish) (53 cm), and the Plate is about 15" (38 cm) across.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/quilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quilt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/silk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>silk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/necktie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>necktie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/tie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tie</span></a></p>
Lisa Makes Stuff (she/her)<p>OK, here is today's finished piece. It measures overall about 34" x 31" (about 86 x 79 cm). It's called Bang! Bang! Bang! I was using this as a prototype for creating a commissioned piece. The red pieces are made from silk neckties. The black background is all cotton from my stash of fabrics. The red binding is cotton from my stash.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/quilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quilt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/silk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>silk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/necktie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>necktie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/tie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tie</span></a></p>

Martha Crimson<p>This Christmas I knitted a blanket (~150*200cm) out of an alpaca/wool blend. Ten lengths knitted on an Addi and washed individually before assembling. Each row weighed ~600g, so while it wasn't heavy it still was a bit like a boxing match to rinse those things.</p><p>Today I knitted a 'measure shawl' out of an alpaca/silk blend. It's still drying, but it seems like 200g is enough to knit 200cm, and _holy shit_ it just disappear when washing! It was like rinsing a handkerchief!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/silk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>silk</span></a></p>
