Hi. I’m Kristen Althoff, an artist from Chicago with a focus on design, knitting, installation, photography, and community arts. I previously co-owned the now defunct {fill in the blank} Gallery in Chicago. This is a blog of projects and inspirations that make up my crazy life.

Everything that you see on this blog is original content unless otherwise noted. Please share, but link back to me. Thanks!
e have been looking everywhere for a quilt for our bed and hate everything that is pre-made. So awhile back we decided to just make one ourselves. I spent a bunch of time looking for patterns to copy but couldn’t find anything that was quite right. Then this popped up on my tumblr feed yesterday and we were in love! I have no idea where this originates from, it would be interesting to know if it is handmade or mass produced. But today I started trying to chart it out from this picture… unsuccessfully. I figure it will take a few tries to get it right so I’ll start again soon when I have more time. I think the best part of this quilt is the back side: it’s all pink, soft, and flowery compared to the bright and primary top side. IN LOVE. **EDIT: Mystery solved. This is an Urban Outfitters quilt, which kind of disappoints me because I was hoping it was a little more original than that. Maybe I’ll make it anyway.
