I started this quilt over 7 years ago. It feels strange to finish a red, white and blue quilt during a time where I feel so sad about this country. At the same time, stitching this and watching it come together from so many old scraps and also embracing its imperfections has been hugely cathartic to me during this quarantine. It feels so good to wrestle something beautiful into existence right now, one tiny stitch at a time. The cyanotypes are the flowers and momentos from @everythinglastsforever and my wedding, and the bandanas were our napkins. I started this quilt when we first started dating, with the red (trail to treadlionia ) patterned side, the arrangement of which signifies a pioneer who has found their place or settled. After we got married I decided to make it a reversible quilt with the blue side, which is done in a Wells Of Happiness pattern typically used for weddings quilts, moving, or major life changes. Life has changed. I’m grateful to have found my person to weather the storms with, and I’ll always remember these strange times and all that it took for me to finally, almost a decade later, finish it. It’s a tradition to name each quilt so I am calling this one •At Home• because I’ve found my place and my people, I’m happy where I am, and also to remind myself to look for the silver linings in all of this.🤍💙❤️ #quilting #trailtotreadleoniaquilt #quiltersgonnaquilt

Just wrapped on Dietland Epsiode 108. It's a new dark comedy series coming to TV via AMC this year! Starring Joy Nash who is sweet as pie and fun to work with, and Directed by Helen Shaver.

Another fun shoot with photographer Alisha Wetherill @lishaweth, styled by me. 

sweetbitter coming at you- may 6th

This was a particularly exciting project for me to be a part of because I absolutely love Stephanie Danler and really enjoyed her debut novel Sweetbitter (she has a really great instagram account and posts tons of awesome books and poetry, so if you are a word nerd like me check her out @smdanler). Additionally, she wrote the scripts so it's especially exciting to see how the first season of the television adaptation turns out! May 6th on Starz. 

Wrap on Que Sera Sera

It was such a blast- and a lot of hard work!- shooting Que Sera Sera short film with the kind and communicative director Daniel Blake Schwartz and kick-ass DP Frank Hegyi. My co-star Jack Schrader was super fun and great at keeping the energy up during what turned out to be a very intense shooting process. This was probably the most fun set environment I've been on- I can't wait to see the finished film, which addresses codependency and addiction, and was definitely a challenging character to portray.
