pretty good, pretty good

This is the first entry from my new blog about a punk rock quilting project!  Follow it!

ALL

Those of you who know me will find this project to be no surprise.  For those of you who don't, let me introduce myself.  I'm Buick Audra.  I have the All-O-Gistics on my music room wall and I wear a gold pendant that says 'Good Good Things'.  In short: I'm a Descendents fan.  I also happen to be a maker of sorts.  These two parts of who I am will come together over the following thirty-six weeks. 

I currently live in Nashville where I enjoy a fairly chill life of making rock music and the occasional vegan cupcake.  I have a rad husband and a little old cat who wears a tuxedo, full time.  In past lives, I've also been the creator of many a thing out of fabric.  Lately those projects are becoming fewer and fewer, I guess to make way for the music.  It all started with quilting, many many years ago, and I've decided to get back in touch with that part of who I am.  I was recently flipping through a book of five hundred and one quilt squares and fantasizing about making a kind of sampler.  I've set out to do just that, though I'm adding my own punk rock twist: each square will have the name of a different Descendents song on it, by way of some fairly shoddy hand embroidery.  They will all be six inch squares with satin stitch embroidery.  I'm doing my best to pay homage to the Descendents font (Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed), but, yo... That's no joke, right there.  It will in no way be perfect, but I think it will be fun as hell.  I'm going to do one square per week, for the next thirty-six weeks.
This is my first square, and I started where it made the most sense to: ALL.

Enjoy, fellow Descendents nerds... Enjoy.
