E ditor's letter
Welcome to this adventurous issue!
In my travels I’ve taken, in
moments of awe, many photos of
famous buildings, structures and
bridges, trying to preserve the
memory forever.
To state the obvious, architecture
offers an abundance of inspiration
for needlework projects. The
dilemma is where to begin
in reproducing a favourite
architectural subject? Photos,
whether yours or not, are the key.
In our thrilling world of the needle
arts, fibre artists have played with
fabric, yarn and threads to mimic
textures of buildings, brick and tile
patterns, and the shape of things
we live in and call home.
I’m so excited to showcase the
awesome efforts our needlework
experts have put together for you.
You’ll find tutorials including sewing
techniques and products that make
the artwork possible. The whole
experience of learning these will
stretch your needlework abilities.
The concept of structure has
played a key role in knitting
and crochet projects that give a
garment a professional look. See
what Cynthia MacDougall has to
say about the construction of
knitted garments.
ARCHITECTURE
Do enjoy the issue, there's a lot
to explore, learn and make.
Once again, I invite you to
share your finished projects,
the ones you've conquered
as well as the ones born from
isolation, and post these with
#TheSewGoesOn.
As always, stay safe and stay calm.
Cheerfully,
Make & Stay Calm
I hope this letter finds you in good health.

I grew up on a hobby farm, with horses and cows,
chickens and rabbits. My childhood memories are filled
with time spent in the barn on our property - feeding
and grooming the animals, polishing the horse tack,
and cleaning the stables. Now, as an adult and far from
the family farm, the scent of hay immediately takes
me back to the old barn and those fond memories! A
barn door is the inspiration for this small lap quilt - the
‘crisscross’ of the door’s frame is an interesting detail
that makes great lines on a modern quilt!

Life is a Beach Table Runner
In my travels of the world small houses have always
spoken to me. Whether they are in Newfoundland,
England or Oceanside California, these rows of small
houses give each area a very distinctive look. I spent
many holidays walking down the beach at Oceanside.
I always think about how fun it would be to sit on
the front porch of one of these houses with a glass
of wine, facing west watching the sun drop into the
Pacific Ocean.
In this pattern, I made the doors quite prominent
as in many areas of the world the doors make a
statement. Embellish your doors so they make a
statement about you! The windows are a turned
appliqué technique allowing you to make any shape of
window. This appliqué technique also makes the end
project very washable, which is great for kids’ quilts,
table runners and placements. Use this paper pieced
house pattern, fabrics from your stash (or maybe
it’s time for a shopping trip!) and create houses that
reflect the feeling of your favourite place in the world.
Remember, life is a beach!

Old Meeting New
Architecture
Royal Ontario Museum
Wall-hanging
The theme for this issue, the shape of things, made me think about unusual shaped buildings. In
researching this I discovered that the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) has a very unique design
combining its original heritage stone façade with the Lee-Chin Crystal section. The older section was
created in a neo-Byzantine style with rusticated stone, triple windows within recessed arches and
different coloured stones arranged in a variety of patterns. The new Deconstructivist* crystalline form
is 25% glass and 75% aluminum, sitting on top of a steel frame; it is composed of five interlocking, selfsupporting
prismatic structures. These buildings co-exist but are not attached except for the bridges
that link them. One interesting fact I discovered in my research is that the ROM has been ranked as one
of the ten ugliest buildings in the world, so I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I found
this design
fascinating
and decided to
do something
similar when
creating this
wall hanging
by combining
various quilting
techniques old
and new.
These
instructions are
not intended
for you to
recreate this
exact project
but give you the
steps I used to
create it. You
can apply these
techniques to
create your own
unique wall
hanging from a
photograph.

Maritime
Houses Quilt
The Maritime Houses quilt was initially inspired
by the weathered and colorful houses found in the
Maritime Provinces of Canada. When Northcott
introduced their Crackle line of fabrics, it was the
perfect choice for this project.
As I began working on the house blocks, the world
was faced with a Global Pandemic and families
were forced to isolate in their homes, bringing new
meaning to this project. Our homes are where we
traditionally find safety and security, which was never
truer than it is now. Worldwide Quilting Day took
place at the outset of Social Isolation in Canada and
quilters across the country took to displaying their
favourite quilts outside their homes to show the world
the ways that quilting binds us together. Quilts are
the heart of our homes, so they had to be a part of
this project inspiring the sashing. – Clodagh

The fabrics used in the
bricks, the border, and
the words were made
using the photocopier
function on my INKJET
printer. The fabric for the
mortar and the binding
are commercial prints. I
used the bricks on my
house as the guide for
the sizes. Feel free to
change up the sizes to
suit your project. There
are many novelty or
architectural prints on
the market that you can
use instead of creating
your own. Why not make
this a memory quilt
or personalize it with
‘bricks’ of someone’s
favourite thing?

WAVES
quilt
Two years ago, I had the opportunity to
travel to Poland with my friend Debbie. At
one point during the tour I went missing
for a couple of minutes, a person on the
tour noticed my absence. When Debbie
was questioned about my absence,
her reply was, “Paul probably found a
quilt inspiration and is probably taking
pictures”. Debbie was correct! I was taking
photos of a design in a brick. On many
trips I more than likely took more pictures
of quilt inspirations than the sites of the
places I’m visiting.
When I travel to foreign lands, I do so
to taste and savour the colours of these
new exotic locations. Now I travel with an
additional interest, quilting. It’s amazing
the inspiration I come across when
quilt design is a big part of my life. I find
inspiration in so many things, ceramic
tiles, plant colours, lines, graffiti and my
favourite architectural designs. I’m always
taking photos.
On a recent extended vacation to Puerto
Vallarta, I was amazed at the inspiration I
was finding everywhere. One such view,
which got to me was an outer hotel wall
located next to the building where I was
staying. Everyday I would see this wall
and enjoy looking at the curved lines
the stonework created. As my vacation
was coming to a rapid end, I was sitting
at the pool staring at the wall I had been
admiring for weeks. Suddenly, I noticed
the wall’s stonework had the same
colours and shades as the many fabrics in
Northcott Stonehenge collections. Within
3 days, I had a plan and had ordered
every piece of fabric I would need to
reproduce this wall, minus the windows.
I had the inspiration, the idea and a plan.
The next step was to put it all together.

Another Brick In The Wall
Quilt
I’ve always love bright colours. I remember in
high school wearing a bright coloured shirt my
mother had made me. As a 17-year-old teenager,
like everyone else I wanted to fit in, be cool.
Well let me tell you, in 1977 wearing the bright
coloured shirts did not make you fit in or be cool,
but for what ever reason I did not care. I loved
the colours and I wore the shirt with pride.
My love of bright colours remains to this
day, it’s obvious in many of my quilts. The
inspiration for this quilt came from loving the
geometric shape of a brick wall and the love of
solid coloured fabrics. Having purchased several
pounds of solid remnants in every colour of the
rainbow a quilt plan formed itself. – Paul

In the Studio with
Ana Buzzalino
Architectural structure and quilting
The Bridge to the Other Side I
Some months ago, I woke up around 2 a.m., which is not
unusual for me, and had a thought. At the time, I had
just finished a week of intense studies about working in
monochrome. The colour I had chosen to work with was red.
It came to me that night that there’s a beautiful architectural
structure in Calgary, Alberta called The Peace Bridge. The bridge
is a dark red colour, I could use its lines to design and make
abstract art quilts. Join me as I show you how to use your own
photos of an architectural structure or building that is close to
your heart to design your own abstract pieces.
Let’s talk about architecture today: it’s defined as the art or
practice of designing and constructing buildings. The complex or
carefully designed structure of something.
According to Wikipedia, the earliest surviving written work on
architecture is De architectura by the Roman architect Vitruvius
in the early 1st century AD. According to Vitruvius, a good
building should satisfy the three principles of:
• Firmitas – firmness
• Utilitas – commodity
• Venustas – delight
The equivalent in modern English would be:
• Durability – a building should stand up robustly and remain
in good condition
• Utility – it should be suitable for the purposes for which it
is used
• Beauty – it should be aesthetically pleasing

How Sweet It Is
Baby Cardigan and Hat Set
Top Down Raglan Baby Cardi - Knitted Version
If you’ve already read this issue’s Knit Together
column, you’ll see that this little project gives an
opportunity to talk about a garment structure I
absolutely love: raglan shaping!
For a time, it was the fashion to knit sweaters with a
drop shoulder design. It was not my favourite time
in fashion history. Sure, straight body pieces are easy
to knit and make it easy to design or adapt patterns
such as cables or intarsia to flow with minimal
interruption, but (and, to me, it’s a big but), the
absence of shoulder shaping means that the ‘blunt’
sleeves bunch up under the arm, which is especially
uncomfortable when an overcoat is also required.
Raglan sleeves, by contrast, fit nicely up to the under
arm, then taper gently up to the collar. I like this
style so much that sometime in the early 1980s I
invested in Bea Freeman’s patented Raglan Sweater
Wheel. This little device makes it possible for me
to knit any raglan sweater I want in any size from 6
months to men’s or women’s 48" [122cm].
When I was asked to create a simple baby cardigan,
my thoughts went directly to Bea’s wheel! There
were a couple of hitches, though: the wheel is made
for bottom-up knitting, and I want a top-down one,
and all of the instructions are in inches and use a
different needle numbering system! Nothing that a
good needle gauge and a bit of math can’t fix!
Another structural feature I want to talk about
is the trim on this cardigan. I chose garter stitch,
because it works well with cotton and the button and
buttonhole bands can be worked in with a stocking
stitch body most times with success. Keep an eye
on them as your sweater progresses. If you find the
button bands are pulling up too much, you can add
a couple of short rows on each side to add a little
more ease. I did this with the acrylic version. Just
remember to keep the buttonhole spacing on track.
For yarn, I was given carte-blanche, so I chose
some soft cotton out of my stash that will be very
comfortable on a baby! When I wanted a second testknit,
I chose a soft baby acrylic. – Cynthia

T
IS FOR
TurnSocks
Sock 1 TOE FOOT GUSSET TURN
HEEL LEG CUFF
Sock 2 CUFF LEG HEEL TURN
GUSSET FOOT TOE
The architecture of a hand knit
sock offers endless opportunities
in design. However, the steps in
construction are quite fixed and
they depend on the ingenious heel
turn.
I used different colours of wool to
draw attention to each component
of the sock. I listed the words
on the soles in different orders
because regardless of how you knit
socks each step must be made.
I encourage you to try something
you have never done before. Start
with just one part of the sock and
become a sock architect.

Notre
Dame
Crescent
Shawl
Watching Paris’s Notre Dame
Cathedral burn in April 2019
was heartbreaking, but the
generosity of people from
around the world, and the
resolve of the French citizens
and their government give
hope for its resurrection. The
yarn chosen for this project
has the colours of stained glass,
and the overall shape of the
shawl is suggestive of a section
of the cathedral’s famous
rose window. The horseshow
lace motifs are reminiscent of
gothic arches, and the columns
between the arches evoke
the flying buttresses that are
quintessential traits of gothic
architecture. – Nancy

ChâteauLaurier
Cardigan
Laurier Cardigan is knit in two
sections. The first part, knit flat,
makes up the back and sleeves. When
it’s finished, the two sleeve seams
are sewn up leaving a large hole at
the center. The second part is knit by
picking up stitches around the center
opening. It creates the collar and body
of the cardigan using a combination of
short rows (knit flat), and knitting in
the round to build its shape. A little bit
of striping, a button hole, and an icord
bind off finish the sweater.

Whoo Baby!
Cardigan and Hat Set
The little one
in your life
is worthy
of wearing
Merino wool!
To maintain
the softness of
Dona yarn in
crochet, you need
a modern stitch
that is elastic and
light. Working
with a slightly
larger hook to get
the gauge listed
for this pattern
is essential, and
the extended
single crochet
stitch is one of
the ‘stretchy-est’
crochet stitches
that is still solid
in appearance
but doesn't feel
like those stiff
baby sets from
the ‘70s. The
young wearer of
this hat and cardi
will turn even
more heads, and
everyone will
ask, "Whoo's that
cutie?"

The
Castle
Nursery
This piece was a happy combination
of the theme for this issue and an
art project our youngest did while
in University! Katie created this
large castle wall full of windows,
and when you opened each window,
you could see the room inside. I
kept the project pieces long after
she graduated, as I always thought
it would make a wonderful crossstitch
series – and when Carla
provided the theme, that longdelayed
project was the first thing
that came to mind.
It also became my COVID-19
project, as much of the stitching
was completed in isolation. My
thanks to Belinda Howell, who
jumped in and helped by stitching
the back layer! Due to the 3D
nature of this piece, there were
some corrections to the graph to
make it easier to assemble, like
shifting the windows slightly into
the center and up a few stitches
so the side/bottom measurements
were easier to figure out.
It is strongly recommend reading
all the instructions before you
begin stitching, as there are both
stitching and assembly options
provided such as the colour wire or
beads to use for hinging.
Since we were in isolation, and so
many businesses were closed, we
also had to ‘wing’ the framing!
Fortunately, I had a mat I liked
on hand; it has a slightly smaller
opening than I would have
preferred if I’d been able to get a
mat cut, so more of your castle wall
may show than mine! I’m also lucky
enough to have a handy husband,
Bill was able to make a frame deep
enough to accommodate all the
layers of foamcore, fabric and a
mat! Just keep in mind that you’ll
need a deeper-than-usual frame
to fit this design. Enjoy… happy
stitching… and stay safe! – Jo

Moroccan Mug Rug
The inspiration for the design of
this little project was a window
grate in a photo of an old door in
Morocco.
When I saw the photo so many
ideas for ways to create with the
design began popping into my
head. Now, the window grate
was distorted by the angle of the
picture, so the first job was to
try to align it. Then I re-created
one quarter of the design, this
too could be broken down into
quarters. These quarters, like the
original, could be mirror imaged
vertically and horizontally or run
in a column to create a multitude
of new designs. The possibilities
seem nearly endless!
Work a block or ¼ block or ¼ of a
quarter with mirrors to design a
block of your own. Turn the inside
to become the outside or flip flop
vertically or horizontally. You may
be surprised at what you create.
Make it your own!!

Eyes Open to the World by Karen D. Miller
For more examples of how to use travel to inspire your art,
check out Karen's book Eyes Open to the World: Memories
of Travel in Wool (Ampry Publishing). Karen shows that travel
is really a state of mind - a curiosity about the world ‘out
there’ beyond the comfortable familiarity of ‘home’ – that
bridges easily to inspiration for her art. Intended as a musthave
resource of shared experiences for new and established
fibre artists alike, Eyes Open to the World will take you on a
160 page journey through the artistic process, from turning
inspiration into an idea, to techniques in observation and
composition, and all the way to working en plein air. It brings
you to Karen’s favourite places across the North Atlantic and
explores a range of artistic approaches, from conventional to
abstract. Every step is liberally sprinkled with insights and art
from Karen and over thirty contributors, all inspired by their
own travels all around the world. Above all, Eyes Open to the
World is Karen’s exhortation to set free the artist within you
and tell your own stories. As she learned, and now shares with
you, there is nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to wait for.
