If you have a hubby or a partner who has hardware stored within a garage or a workshop, maybe, just maybe, it is time to go on an expedition to said garage or workshop to find an embellishment or a tool for your next quilt. Whether your quilt is an art quilt or a traditional applique, there is probably something readily available close by or at your local hardware store.

Can't wait for summer sewing to begin! | In the past, in desperate need of an embellishment for a last minute quilt that had to be completed, I have dragged my husband John to the hardware store. This is how the eyes of my 2015 row for the Row By Row Experience was completed. I felt the beady fishy eyes needed a little enhancement. Discovery - lock washers. Lock washers added the needed bling around the beady eye and I supported a shop by buying locally. 2016 and another row. Theme: Home Sweet Home. The houses needed door knobs. During a visit to the local Home Hardware I found the perfect wee brass door knob - brass finish washers. Lo and behold, the right sized bead will hold a wee brass door knob nicely in place.   Past rows featured in this blog write up are from 2015 and 2016. Piecing, fun stitching and interesting uses for "hardware are all a focus for any patterns produced at the FibreChick shop. |
