Seams Likely: June 2012
http://seamslikely.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 25, 2012. I always pre-wash my quilt fabric. Here is my rationale- if my fabric is going to run, shrink or otherwise misbehave, I want it to do all that before. It has been sewn into my quilt. I don't want that sort of surprise. The only drawback is the tangle of fibres that will come loose through agitation and contact with the other contents of the washer and dryer. I have been just cutting or ripping off the tangles, shaking out the fabric and throwing it in the dryer. What I'm trying to ...

Seams Likely: March 2012
http://seamslikely.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 21, 2012. I love pale grey and "punch-me-in-the-nose" bright orange. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. The top had been done for who knows how long. I attached a readymade label to the back. My mother had these printed when I first got married and moved to Toronto, and they are my Go To for a quick label. Thanks, Mom! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The workroom, Toronto, Ontario.

Seams Likely: December 2011
http://seamslikely.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. I check True Up. All the time to scope out the latest and greatest in quilt fabric. I'm scrolling down. Hey! New stuff from Anna Griffin! But wait, that one looks familiar. Anna Griffin's "new" fabric. Compared to the Happy Homemaker by Darlene Zimmerman for Kaufman Fabrics some years back from my collection. They are "swirl for swirl" identical except in colourways. Is it legal? Was the scale of the design tweaked just enough to make it so? Is fabric design this unregulated?

Seams Likely: January 2012
http://seamslikely.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. My First Sewing Machine. Thursday, January 26, 2012. Another scrappy backing; check out the huge chunks I used up from the Stash. I used the quilting bar attachment on the walking foot that came with my machine, and I really enjoyed not. Marking parallel lines. I added a bit of free motion quilting action on the scissors blocks, and finished it off with some old buttons and a contrasting blue binding. Time to cut on a new quilt and take a little break from the UFO pile…. Thrift ...

Seams Likely: March 2013

Saturday, March 23, 2013. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Tuesday, March 5, 2013. The first chart in my cross stitch collection is "Insects." Originally created for my Intro to Cross Stitch class, this bug-filled sampler is really, really. This sampler is specially designed to fit into a standard 8" x 10" frame with about an inch between the stitching and the frame. Get it while it's hot at the workroom in Toronto.

Seams Likely: February 2012
http://seamslikely.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Pillow Back = Shirt Front. My favourite way to finish off a pillow top: chop out the front of a thrifted buttondown shirt, and use it as the back of a pillow! The button closures are cute and, more importantly, already there. So, you get to look clever and have a quick, professional-looking finish all at the same time. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Thursday, February 9, 2012. Another batch of UFOs made into something. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Pillow Back = Shirt Front.

Seams Likely: New Pattern: Insects
http://seamslikely.blogspot.com/2013/03/new-pattern-insects.html
Tuesday, March 5, 2013. The first chart in my cross stitch collection is "Insects." Originally created for my Intro to Cross Stitch class, this bug-filled sampler is really, really. This sampler is specially designed to fit into a standard 8" x 10" frame with about an inch between the stitching and the frame. Get it while it's hot at the workroom in Toronto. Are we going to be able to get these at Greenwood? Is there somewhere to buy this online? Or a way my local (USA) quilt shop can buy this?
