At the suggestion of some in a previous topic of mine asking for "take along" projects, some mentioned the cathedral windows. Looking at a tutorial for them, they don't seem that easy to work on away from the sewing room. Am I missing something?? It seems to be the kind of thing that grows bigger and bigger... ?

I worked on a Cath. Win. project as a take along. It worked very well as I did sections of 4x4 units. I sewed everything by hand. When you start joining the sections, then your project may get too big to carry along but, it takes a while to get enough sections done to join.

I agree with Dena, welcome to her, too by the way!...

Also with the cathedral window, all of it can be done by hand, which helps make it portable...I just carry a few of the muslin pieces, a few of the middle squares, needle, thread, thimble, small scissors...and I am sure I am forgetting something...lol...

Anyone care to post a pic of Cathedral Windows?

My carry along is Grandmothers flower garden. I've been carrying it for over a year, someday I may actually get it done.

my cathedral windows project is my travel project this year- you need to do some (pre-work) for any take along project-
i made my squares at home- folded and pressed-
i whip stitch them together- traveling- and place my window squares by hand also...
i'm at work now so will have to wait to find a picture.

That'd be great ck cowl :)
