It’s me again, Quilting Friends-Carolyn Wainscott, with a different use for our old favorite traditional quilt block, the Dresden Plate. The first quilt my mother made when she retired from teaching and learning quilting was the Dresden Plate. My project today is “How To Make A Dresden Plate Pillow Scarf”. I much prefer a pillow […]
Hello, Quilters! It’s Carolyn Wainscott back with a traditional quilt setting that can be used in so many ways from scrappy to elegant. This vintage looking doll fabric is one I have been reluctant to cut into. Can anyone out there relate? It has been in my stash for several years but “My Vintage Dolly […]
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 […]
Hello, All-Carolyn from Carolyn’s Canvas here with one of my latest lightbulb flashes: What about making a comfy baby quilt using flannel tubes like we used to make those woven potholders? That would be so simple and quick and easy and cute and warm and, and and. Yep! And…… Joann’s is having a super, duper sale […]
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 was created by simply whacking off the sleeves to the length I wanted and cutting open down the center front. I favor 3/4 length […]
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 […]
Carolyn Wainscott here wishing all of you crafters a happy crafting year. My first 2017 project for you here @ Seams And Scissors is A Quick Heart Shaped Mug Rug for your BFF. Simply sew fabric tubes and weave them together like we used to make those yarn potholders-remember those? My BFFs include my 2 […]
Hello all you crafty people, Carolyn Wainscott here. Have you seen those beautiful Christmas trees converted from a mannequin and tree branches? I began seeing them before Christmas last year on Facebook and fell in love with the idea but it was too close to Christmas. It would also have been a bit more involved […]
My sister-in-law, Sandy, wanted a red, white and blue wreath, so being the good sister-in-law that I am and being that it was her birthday and being that it just so happens I had some patriotic prints in my stash-I ran to Joann’s with my 50% off coupon for the wire wreath base and found […]
Hey, everyone, it’s Carolyn again of Carolyn’s Canvas with my new tote that I’m so very pleased with. Just a couple of weeks ago I had been scouting around for a basket/box/plastic container to have on the front seat of my car to keep cold drinks and other things in but hadn’t found anything I […]
