Hello again, everyone. Carolyn here from Carolyn’s Canvas to share my new, bright, shiny casserole carrier with you. When I saw Fairfield’s gold Aluminor, I knew almost instantly what it would be used for—a casserole carrier. The one I have has seen its better days; it has been to many church suppers, family dinners and […]
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 I hadn’t found anything […]
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 Lattice […]
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 […]
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 woven potholders? That would be so simple and quick and easy and cute and warm and, and, and… There are simply too many reasons to make this quilt! […]
Carolyn Wainscott here, wishing all of you crafters a happy crafting year! My first 2020 project for you here at Seams and Scissors is a quick heart-shaped mug Rug ror your BFF. Simply sew fabric tubes and weave them together like we used to when making those yarn potholders—remember those? My BFFs include my two […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 a wire wreath base and […]
