	Between April and August 2023, we worked on multiple projects that combined AI, code, woodworking, LEDs and electronics, quilting, embroidery, and machine knitting. Active participants include: TJ, Matt, Ken, Dana, Ellie, Julian, Michelle, Anthea, Emeline, Brennan, Emily, plus a lot of people who came out for a traveling quilting bee on August 13, 2023. We've been loosely calling this the "Fyber Collective".

	For some of these projects, the hopeful intention is that we'll get them into a 'final' state and mount them for viewing at Noisebridge, but they will continue to be hackable. For example, people will be able to hack into the LEDs and update/change the patterns and display.

			In putting together our first project, we were interested in exploring the overlaps and intersections that can be discovered by connecting emerging high tech tools with fiber art practices that are often framed as feminized domestic crafts. Machinery has long played an instrumental role in textile making, from Jacquard looms to knitting and sewing machines. These practices set the stage for much of modern computing and programming; in the early 19th century, female workers used punch cards to weave complex textile patterns with the jacquard loom, which inspired people like Charles Babbage and led to more modern computing hardware and programming.

	We learned a lot working on these projects. Here is where we'll be documenting what we did, what materials we used, and what we would do differently next time / what we learned. Hopefully this helps future people either continue to hack on these specific projects or start their own.		We learned a lot working on these projects.

	~~_Laser Cutter:_~~

	* To match the quilt and put LEDs behind each block, we needed a frame with 36 squares (one for each quilt block) in a 6x6 grid, with a half inch between each one (for the stained glass sashing). Julian and Michelle don't know enough about how to use tool in the woodshop, and figured that using the laser cutter would give us more 'exact' measurements. We bought a sheet of 1/4 (?) inch plywood at a local hardware store and used the laser cutter at a maximum setting.
	* It still needed multiple passes to cut through, leaving the edges very charred and almost catching on fire. It also meant that the burnt parts were coming off on our fingers. We asked around for fixes to this: https://discord.com/channels/1065712609699045446/1086740572276002906/1126283860431351870 (fixative, wiping down with a damp rag)
	* The laser cutter also could only fit about 5 rows, so we had to do this in two pieces, and then try to attach.
	* The resulting piece felt very brittle, and barely enough room to attach the LEDs around each block.

	~~_Woodwork_~~

	* Ken helped reinforce the brittle laser-cut backing, and then built a frame around this [add more!]
