The Blue Seamstress: The Wrong Turn
http://theblueseamstress.blogspot.com/2012/06/wrong-turn.html
Diary of Dressmaking and other fun projects. Sunday, June 24, 2012. Sometimes when you take a wrong turn, it turns out to be a wonderful thing! For instance, last weekend, we were driving around town, and my fiance took a wrong turn, and we came across a yard sale. We've been known to stop at a few! Something in particular caught my eye this time, and I just HAD to check it out. I found this beauty and decided to take it home with me :). I'm so glad I did! Here it is, ready to sew! Other Places to Find Me.

Diary of Dressmaking and other fun projects. Sunday, June 24, 2012. Just a quick post on the petticoat I made for my wedding dress. I found a wonderful tutorial on how to make a petticoat here: http:/ sugardale.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-make-petticoat.html. I had a lot of fun making this, and dreaming of my poufy wedding dress!

Vicki's Vintage Stitches: Jan 20, 2014
http://vickisvintagestitches.blogspot.com/2014_01_20_archive.html
Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Monday, January 20, 2014. A word for the year. On one of my email lists, many members select a word for the year, to guide them in their art and life. The words are varied, and the discussions thought-provoking, and the idea is a lot more inspiring than a resolution. So after a lot of thought, I decided on the word "Purposefully," as a guide to life. Purposefully - "with a specific purpose or objective in mind.". Posted by VVS Art Quilts.

Vicki's Vintage Stitches: Organizing Time
http://vickisvintagestitches.blogspot.com/2013/03/organizing-time.html
Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Monday, March 11, 2013. Hanging sweater shelves and a clear shoe hanger hold. Balls and skeins of yarn. I've hardly touched the sewing machine in the past few weeks, just too much going on. But I haven't completely given up time in the studio. I've been working on re-organizing so I can actually get some work done. Tall shelves hold stacked fabric, bins of cut pieces and. A couple of sewing machines at the bottom. Fabric, mostly fat quarters.

Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Sunday, January 12, 2014. I'm a treasure hunter. Thrift stores, yard sales, friends clearing out their studios, are all great sources of treasures for my fiber art work and for decorating. And that's been especially true over the past few months, as I've been decorating a vacation rental unit. Leftover blocks and fabric combine with found tablecloths(right). With right sides together, stitch the row of blocks to the coordinating fabric alon...

Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Sunday, March 24, 2013. Someone on a quilting group asked about drawing with Derwent Inktense™ pencils, and when I looked for my post about them, I realized I'd never written one. This is one of the many techniques/tools I have tried out and loved, but haven't had time to go in-depth with (yet! Serenity" 2010, thread-sketched with watercolor pencil shading. Derwent Inktense™ watercolor pencils and blocks. I really liked some of my seashells...

Adventures with antique sewing machines, quilts, and fiber arts. Sunday, January 5, 2014. Treadle On Cat Block Exchange. Wow, it is embarrassing to see how long it has been since I've posted. But my New Year's resolution is to do more stuff worth posting and get it posted! We're starting off the new year on the Treadle On email list with several block exchanges, and the one I'm hosting is cats. Here are the instructions for the two cat blocks that can be used for the exchange. Cut 4 inch strip. From 3...

These are made on a sewing machine and most of them are put-on-the-bed-and-throw-in-the-washer-when-the-cat-barfs-on-them type quilts. I am astounded by the beauty and precision of many quilts I see by serious quilters and I don't aspire to that. But I am in the process of getting a treadle sewing machine to continue making quilts. Is a great resource for those of you interested in Treadle Machines. This is the back of the Christmas Quilt. Hidden in Plain View. Wedding Quilt for Cecilia and Hamish - This...
