Straight-Laced: I disregard the weather!
http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-disregard-weather.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. I disregard the weather! Here is the third project in a month, I am seriously back. A jacket I cannot wait to wear, come spring. This is another 'inspired by burdastyle', their version was a one button at the waist rig. I cannot wear a one button at the waist jacket, it gapes like a mofo. So, I made the closure go all the way up the front on a curve. It's good. See Otis in the corner having his morning milk? Lynn One, Purl Two.

Straight-Laced: May 2013
http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Friday, May 10, 2013. I have diverged. My new favourite thing is digging, particularly edging garden beds. It would appear that edging is the closest thing to instant gratification that gardening has. Not that I have done the edge of the garden bed in this photo. can't show everything at once! I need to maintain material for my quarterly blog posts. This picture is over a month old, the clems are climbing like crazy now and I have a bunch of other things...

Straight-Laced: April 2012
http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Monday, April 9, 2012. So, here are the beginnings. I am a bit lost right now because I need to start planning this thing a bit more. Until now I have just been making patterns and blocks however I liked, but now when I put it together it freaks me out. There is a fair bit of action happening! This one is currently on hold while I think a bit about how I want to bring it all together. Any suggestions are welcome! Get in touch Hazer Baba!

Straight-Laced: January 2011

Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Friday, January 21, 2011. My second and third experiences with online fabric shopping were wonderful! The orange stripe and blue stripe below are from fabricmart.com. The orange marble is from equilter. The shirtings are beautiful Italian cotton, the marble is a quilting cotton, which I love. The orange is for Gareth, with the marble for the cuffs and some of the collar. Saturday, January 15, 2011. Bye bye my friend. I'll miss ya blue dress. Although I a...

Straight-Laced: March 2011
http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Friday, March 11, 2011. I got my quilt back last week from the machine quilter and I am in love with it! I know it is hard to see the quilting, it is a kind of random wavy pattern. Nothing crazy. how could it hope to compete with the riot of colour below? I can't seem to get the colours to look quite right in photos. You have to trust me that it is amazing. ok? I spent ten minutes (yeah, I give up easily! Look at those tidy toes!

Straight-Laced: I'm here
http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2012/06/im-here.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Truely, I am. Just not a whole lot of sewing news. I have been busy waging war on garden pests whilst finding time to smile at my new house with self satisfied glee. I finally hung the last quilt and it looks amazing because I have the most beautiful living room on the planet, painted an outrageous shade of blue by some colour mad Cape Bretoners. Lynn One, Purl Two. I cant wait to pay you and your blue living room a visit!

Straight-Laced: New Items
http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-items.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Monday, January 21, 2013. So it turns out that I'm off quilting and sewing in general. I need a new hobby, I think it will involve wood. We have a small shop with tools in it, I want to use them! In between fixing these horrors I made this curtain for our front door. It's pretty jazzy and all the young girls in the neighbourhood are rather taken with it! Have I mentioned that the house is pink? Lynn One, Purl Two. It all looks absolutely AMAZING! Http:/ ...

http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. I made the first block of my next quilt today. Today I finished my big circles quilt (shown below), and yesterday I finished the top of the quilt for my parents. What I am saying is that this blog is now about quilts, until it ceases to be about quilts and begins to be about something else. I can't say how long my current fixation will last, but I plan to gun it until I run out of gas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Straight-Laced: Eric the steampunk pickle and bargello v.2.o
http://straight-laced.blogspot.com/2013/11/eric-steampunk-pickle-and-bargello-v2o.html
Sewing, quilting, cats. cats. You get the picture. Friday, November 22, 2013. Eric the steampunk pickle and bargello v.2.o. The finest cat in the land. We installed a cat door before going away for a week in September, when we got home this little guy was sleeping on the couch! He was a skinny kitten and a snuggle machine of the first degree! I am powerless to resist his charms. Seeing it in pictures it looks a bit like Easter mayhem, maybe it looks like that in person too. Whatevs, it is pretty! What a ...
