PAISLEY - whether you call it a pattern, design or motif, its intrigued me since before I could read.

Its been a very long time though since my regular paisley affirmation posts dropped off. It wasnt due to lack of intention but rather, the inability of search engines to pull up new content.

For whatever reason, I have had some fresh success in finding some things to share. I genuinely hope these were written by actual reflecting human beings.

Just keep in mind, like most human endeavours, the story of paisley is more complex than one might think. Competing claims of origin, ownership, colonialism, adaptation, integration and reinterpretation all seem to be there. Ive shared a V&A deconstruction previously, but I will just run through some of the various pieces in these posts.

First up, a textile history piece from Pattern Observer:

"Researchers have developed a chemical-processing technique that can break down fabrics into reusable molecules, even when they contain a mixture of materials.

The process, outlined in a Science Advances paper on 3 July, shows that chemical recycling can give old textiles a new lease of life. If scaled up, it could help to tackle the growing mountain of waste generated by the fashion industry"

A random musing...

Since Twitter posts are called tweets...

And posts are called (the sound that the Mastodon character makes)...

Shouldn't posts be called "pills" (That's the word for those loose threads on fabric.)

It would certainly lessen the confusion about individual posts in threads being referred to as "A thread" ()-- Is that Threads post part of an actual thread, or is that "thread" just one stand-alone post on Threads

I say we all start calling them !

My Crazy Quilt Sewing Machine pattern is a hit Thank you!!

Ive been enjoying stitching up my Crazy Quilt Sewing Machine, as one element for my Bits & Bobs quilt.
It turned out sew lovely, I had to offer it as a pattern which comes with two sizes of templates.

Its available through my website.

Happy Stitching!

The crazy quilt piece Im currently working on, is made up of 24 tiny fabric patches.
I decided I was going to cover each seam (23 of them), with a different embroidery stitch.
Its been fun stitching new-to-me stitches my favourite new one is that double blue one, near the top.
Its called: Pekinese Stitch

Happy Stitching!

Ive begun adding tiny embroidery stitches, to my tiny crazy patches!

I got tired of waiting for enough (solar) power, to begin machine stitching a crazy patch piece for my Bits & Bobs wallhanging.
So Im hand stitching the patches together, instead!

Happy Stitching!
