Lets Get Real For A Sec....

So lets get real for a sec.... one of the main reasons that a lot of us joined in on the modern craze is because we like doing our own thing. We like beating our own drumbeats on our own unorthodox homemade drum that we built from an online video tutorial that we found on Pinterest.... yep, thats us for the most part. So, if most of us like doing our own thing and not following the staunch rules of others.... than why are we now ok with signing up for strict rules and guidelines from the new crowd regarding what we create? I for one am not a fan of the quilt police - most of us say that we aren't... but all of a sudden we are ok with people dissecting our creations and telling us whether or not they are cool enough to fit in with the "in" crowd? I've seen a lot... Ive seen some snobbery and what basically boils down to a quilting version of mean girls. If you aren't in the "in crowd" then you can't share my toys..... well boo boo for you! Who gives a severed head anyway? I just wanna get back to having fun and not caring about whether or not what I make measures up for EITHER side. If my creations fit in one of your boxes today and the next one fits into a different box and the third won't even fit into a box at all (it ate too much chocolate and got fat)... who cares? Why do we base our worth on what the "clique" thinks anyway? I'm done with the high school drama. I'll be 40 this year and its time for me to start flipping the bird to the haters and loving life on my own terms. I invite you to join me!

Damn You Gremlins....

I am SOOOOOO over the gremlins stealing my seam rippers! I haven't figured out where they are selling them on the black market - but I'm sure that they are making a killing!

Rollin' With The Changes....

Do you like to rollerskate? If you are like me, its been years since you have. I remember going to the skating rink as a kid - that was always fun. I had gotten pretty good too, could skate backwards and everything! I think I still have a pic around here somewhere....

Thinking about roller-skates made me start thinking about change. Not sure why we fight change so much. Change isn't always a scary thing, sometimes it can be freeing. Take changing into a zombie for example.... no more worrying about your stretch marks or if your roots are showing! Gotta look at the upside of things ;-) So today I plan to embrace the change - bring it on! Lets do this thing!

"So if you're tired of the same old story
Oh, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, ooh"

Zombie Shopping!!

Did you know that zombies like to shop? Well duh! Do you think these hot pink converse were free? Well, ok yeah, I did take them off a jogger that I ate last week - but thats beside the point! Jeez! But yeah, zombies shop... and guess where is our favorite place to shop? Well AMAZON of course! We dig watching the drones show up in the middle of a parking lot (we don't usually have an address to give them).

I have an extra special thing to offer you zombie lovers though... you can now snag your favorite Amazon items.... quilting, zombie flavored and more - right from my site! Yep! Ch-ch-check it out dudes!

So remember, if you wanna snag some Cotton & Steel fabric, or some Aurifil thread, or a Modern Quilting book, or some Alison Glass fabric, or a pair of zombie slippers (omg they are adores!).... then come on over to the Zombie Shop. The only place online that you can shop for your zombie/quilting loves together!

Tell all your friends or else you might be the next jogger I munch on.... just kidding! You know I love you like Carl loves pudding! ;-)

The Zombie's Back In Town....

The Zombie quilter has been shuffling her way around Instagram lately.... it's a lot of fun! If you aren't following me, you can @zombiequilter -- make sure to keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times though! The Zombie has been known to take a bite here and there!

I've discovered SWAPS on Instagram, have you?! Oh they are FUN! I've created a "Game of Thrones" themed swap, A Harry Potter themed swap, a swap that used only Cotton & Steel fabrics, a swap that used only Alison Glass fabrics, a Muppet themed swap, A Unicorn themed swap, A Beach themed swap.... have I mentioned that I have gotten really into swaps? I even joined a "Spoil the Birthday Girl" swap where there are 12 ladies who each create and mail an item to a member for their birthday every month (so on your birthday you will receive 11 items!).

Yeah, I should warn you.... once you discover Instagram swaps, you will find that it's much like well-done brains on a grill.... one is just a start and too many is never enough!
