Upcycled Sweatshirt to Classy Cardigan

January 16, 2021 by Carolyn Leave a Comment

Carolyn Wainscott back again with a sweatshirt makeover into a classy cardigan. My fave old throw-over cardigan that I work in around the house and have even run errands in (in fact, I have it on as I write this piece!) was created by simply whacking off the sleeves to the length I wanted and […]

The White On White Log Cabin Quilt Block

January 13, 2021 by Carolyn Leave a Comment

Hello out there in quilting land. Carolyn Wainscott here to share one of my quilts. Maybe a white on white log cabin quilt block doesn’t sound very exciting or interesting, but I had one on my bucket list for quite some time before the actual work began. The quilt even had its own name from […]

The one I have has seen its better days; it has been to many church suppers, family dinners and […]

The “Almost Everything” Tote Bag Sewing Pattern

May 6, 2020 by Carolyn Leave a Comment

Hey, everyone, it’s Carolyn again of Carolyn’s Canvas with my new tote that I’m so very pleased with.

The Double Wedding Ring Quilt Block

February 12, 2020 by Carolyn 1 Comment

It’s hard to believe I designed the original Double Ring Wedding Quilt almost 20 years ago for my brother and sister-in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary. It was a queen-size whole cloth quilt. When Seams And Scissors’ editor asked me for a wedding quilt, I decreased the size down to 14 1/2″ to be more usable for […]
