Abstract The majority share of metropolitan poverty in the United States has shifted from cities to suburbs through the effects of employment losses and the movement of lower-income populations. However, varied histories of suburban development, class and racial/ethnic divisions within and among suburbs, and widening suburban inequality all suggest that understanding suburban poverty requires moving beyond a simplified view of low- income suburbs as a uniform set.

  • Embroidered Patchwork Pillow: Janome America

    Embroidered Patchwork Pillow: Janome America

    Published on Sew4Home Embroidered Patchwork Pillow: Janome America Editor: Liz Johnson Wednesday, 01 April 2015 1:00 It's the classic special touch: adding a little something on top. For instance, pie is great. Pie with whipped cream is awesome. A beautiful blend of fabrics in a simple patchwork pattern is always good. Overlaying that patchwork with embroidery can be great. It's a simple way to make a stunning statement. We chose four prints from the Indelible collection by Art Gallery Fabrics, then incorporated one coordinating solid to bring it all together. The patchwork itself is super simple – just a modified nine-patch but with eight blocks rather than the traditional nine. 1 The back features an easy envelope opening. We added a binding strip accent in the coordinating solid to the overlap panel. The icing on the cake is the dramatic embroidery. It stretches across five of the patchwork blocks. By selecting a large, open design, then stitching it out in just one color, you add texture, dimension and flair without distracting from the background beauty of the fabrics. You'll also notice the embroidery is slightly offset; this heightens the juxtaposition and creates a more interesting look than placing it exactly in the center. 2 We used the amazing Janome Horizon Memory Craft 15000 for both the sewing and embroidery on this project. The machine's built-in design library is fantastic, but that doesn't mean you can't also browse for even more options. This pillow's design came from an embroidery website, which was no problem at all thanks to how easy the MC15000 makes it to bring in and work designs from all types of sources.
