A few months ago I got a request from the powers that be at CMU to design a scarf based on my Tartan Tango quilt design<\/a> that they had commissioned when I was on sabbatical back in 2013. I was happy to oblige. I dusted off my Interleave quilt design software<\/a> and produced a fabric design based on the quilt. After experimenting with the design in both a large<\/a> and small<\/a> size, we settled on the smaller version.<\/p>\n

But they wanted 50 of them ASAP, which is well beyond what I could possibly sew in a week (or even a year given my current schedule). So I ordered a huge bolt of fabric from Spoonflower and subcontracted the sewing to Jen Primack of Upcycled Designs<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Jen cut the fabric and sewed it on her serger, and was able to deliver the first half of the order within a few days, and the second half not long after.<\/p>\n

I also learned a bit about scarf packaging, and acquired suitable glossy white boxes and gold “stretch loops” for a finishing touch (yes, that is the proper term for those gold elastic cords, tied in a bow, that decorate small packages… I just learned that).<\/p>\n

I have another slightly smaller project in the works that Jen is helping me with, and will sew a few more scarves myself with fabric I designed from Grandma Glady’s paintings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
