Jenny Wilding Cardon's RESEW: TURN THRIFT-STORE FINDS INTO FABULOUS DESIGNS (9781604680270, $24.99) tells how to turn common thrift-store items into stylish original designs.
The 'turnabout technique' is used to slice and turn these slices into a unique production, with each chapter focusing on a single block and how it can be sewed, sliced, turned, and resewed. 24 quilt patterns for laps, runners, and more offer plenty of construction option.
The branch structure can be strengthened by several sutures to the nearby metal skeletons of the graft, with metal markers resewed on both ends of the side branch for location.
The blogs are used as "a virtual extension of the classroom," and they are used at three levels: "a classroom web space, where announcements are displayed and work of common interest is posted; a public, personal communication zone, where students post the results of their work or reflection; and a private personal space, resewed for students' thoughts and teacher guidance" (Downes, 2004).
