You can design a T-shirt quilt in nearly any way you wish, but there are a few little extras that need to be handled before the shirts are sewn into a quilt. You have to consider whether to use a stabilizer, how to cut the blocks, and what sashing and other patchwork you will use.

Every color can produce a variety of tones; how light or dark these depends on the color. It’s important to realize that tones are relative, that’s why how dark or light they seem depends on what’s going on around them. A tone that’s obviously light in one context may seem darker in another if it’s surrounded by even lighter tones. The number or range of tones that can be produced also varies....

The Invention of Paper China’s place in the history of paper crafts starts early. The invention of paper by Cai Lun around 105 AD in China is well recognized by historians. An Imperial court official during the Han Dynasty, he created sheets of paper from mulberry, bast fibers, old rags, fishnets, and hemp waste. Early forms of paper had existed in China since the 2nd century BC, but his standardization of the process and improvements to the general composition helped make paper able to be widely used as a writing medium....

Whatever you call it, it is formed by working multiple stitches into one stitch, then decreasing the same number of stitches. The look is puffy and full of texture. It’s almost like a bobble, though a bobble is typically made differently and usually stands out from the knit fabric a little more prominently than trinity stitch. The stitch pattern is pretty dense and uses a lot of yarn. How to Knit Trinity Stitch Trinity stitch is worked on a multiple of four stitches....

Vermeil is much thinner and is often applied using a powder or gold leaf instead of a sheet of gold. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between gold vermeil and gold plate because, at times, the jewelry might be both....

Definition and Fiber Types Sock yarn is often a blend of fibers that make the finished fabric more durable. While regular wool yarn can be used for a sock, many people prefer superwash wool for socks because it can be washed in a washing machine. Other good choices for socks include wool blends and just about any kind of yarn with a bit of nylon added for durability. Clara Parkes, who spends a lot of time talking about sock yarn, says the best yarns for socks are elastic, because they need to stretch around a foot but then cling to the foot while wearing; resistant to abrasion, since socks rub on the foot, the shoe or the ground as they are worn, and that puts a lot of pressure on the fiber; and moisture management, because feet sweat and socks need to either absorb or wick away that moisture in order to feel (and smell) good....
