wordstitcher: Bag Obsession
http://wordstitcher.blogspot.com/2014/07/bag-obsession.html
To write or to stitch, the delightful dilemma. I still dream of making the perfect bag for me someday! I get closer each time…. I just finished this Lombard Bag and am so happy with how it turned out. I like to learn something new with every project, and this one did not disappoint. I am going to make this bag again, only smaller for everyday use. This one will be great for travel, because it is almost briefcase in size. It even has a special padded pocket for your tablet computer or e-reader.

wordstitcher: What Do You Call Someone Who Sews?
http://wordstitcher.blogspot.com/2013/12/what-do-you-call-someone-who-sews.html
To write or to stitch, the delightful dilemma. What Do You Call Someone Who Sews? If you sew, what do you call yourself? Here’s my take on the terms I’ve found while out and about blogs, magazines, books and classes. Sewer: Not fond of this one. It looks too much like, and in fact is exactly like, the word for underground waste pipes. Yes, it’s pronounced differently, but when I run across it in print, it conjures the pipe thing. Fiber artist: This is what I say instead of quilter when someone asks me wh...

wordstitcher: Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?
http://wordstitcher.blogspot.com/2014/03/button-button-whos-got-button.html
To write or to stitch, the delightful dilemma. Button, Button, Who's Got the Button? I saw this book and on impulse, purchased it. I rarely do that, really. I guess I felt a little guilty. Http:/ www.amazon.com/Button-Necklaces-Bracelets-Embellishments-Housewares/dp/1600850731. Sometimes, it is good to follow an impulse. I have already had so much fun with these buttons, and I haven't yet made anything! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dusty Boots in good company. View my complete profile.

wordstitcher: Thread Therapy
http://wordstitcher.blogspot.com/2014/08/thread-therapy.html
To write or to stitch, the delightful dilemma. I have been living in an apartment waiting for a home to be built. This has taken far longer than expected. I am so glad I brought Bernina with me! She and I have been making a small wall quilt, and as usual, I've learned a few things. Once the top was pieced (all 1" squares), I wanted to try quilting with Jacquie Gering's methods. I had taken her class "Creative Quilting With Your Walking Foot" at Craftsy ( www.craftsy.com. Onward and Upward" 19" x 21".

wordstitcher: Uncork Those Bottles!
http://wordstitcher.blogspot.com/2013/10/uncork-those-bottles.html
To write or to stitch, the delightful dilemma. I just finished a small wall quilt or table runner for my cousin who lives in the wine country of California. She and I have had some mighty wonderful visits over a few glasses of wine. She just moved into a new house and I wanted to make something quilty for her. But my friend DB always says, "It is what it is! Here's to a few drops of wine being spilled on it in its new home! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dusty Boots in good company.

wordstitcher: Sweatshirts Make a Great Blanket or Throw
http://wordstitcher.blogspot.com/2013/09/sweatshirts-make-great-blanket-or-throw.html
To write or to stitch, the delightful dilemma. Sweatshirts Make a Great Blanket or Throw. I have found a way to enjoy the comfort of old sweatshirts that I didn’t wear any more, by successfully sewing them into a cozy throw. I just cut out the shirtfronts and backs and sewed them together in a quilt-like grid. No sashing, batting, or backing needed. To finish the edge, I sewed on a strip of bias-cut flannel. In a few hours, I had the perfect blanket for watching TV or reading by the fire.

wordstitcher: Something From Nothing -- And a Discovery
http://wordstitcher.blogspot.com/2013/02/something-from-nothing-and-discovery.html
To write or to stitch, the delightful dilemma. Something From Nothing - And a Discovery. Then I remembered I was working with scraps. I should just keep going and see what happened. I’d learn something. It’s called creating! It’s called freedom! Now, every time I look at my leaf on the end table in the living room, I smile. I designed it myself. I didn’t go out and buy fabric or a pattern. No wonder I love it! PS: This was the first time I tried bias binding, and wow! It worked great for those curves.
