A few years ago I didn’t think that I will ever quilt a fabric like this:
Acum cativa ani nu-mi inchipuiam ca o sa quiltuiesc un material ca acesta:
But I changed my mind: so what if this isn’t 100% cotton fabric ? What if it is a crepe fabric ? The more texture…the better, so I quilted this … I even pieced this ( just a little !) …
Dar m-am razgandit: si ce daca nu e material 100% bumbac ? Ce daca e creponat ? Cu cat mai multa textura, cu atat mai bine, asa ca l-am quiltuit… chiar l-am si pisuit (doar un pic !)…
and I made a few pillows (I am sorry for these bad pictures, I took them late in the night using flash):si am facut cateva perne (pacat ca am facut poze asa proaste, noaptea tarziu, cu blitz…) :
I started with “more texture” but I finished with “more quilting”:
Don’t avoid a gorgeous fabric just because it isn’t 100% cotton ! Maybe you will not make a king size quilt from it, but you still can make beautiful and unique pillows or small quilts.

Am inceput cu multa textura si am terminat cu mult quilting:

Poate ca n-o sa faceti din el un quilt foarte mare, totusi se pot face perne (sau quilturi mici) minunate si…unice !
How ironic that you should post this today. A couple of hours ago I was looking at some textured fabric and thinking of what I coul do with it. I have several pieces that are not 100% cotton, that are textured in different ways and I’ve always thought I’d use them in art quilts, but hadn’t thought of pillows. As usual your quilting is superb. How do you get so much done so quickly?
You are an inspiration! I am in need of new cushions and have lots of textured fabrics from my old clothes sewing days stored in boxes. I had been thinking of piecing some from my quilting stash, but this will look much more interesting!
Thanks for posting.
you do fantastic quilting on everything I have seen!

Nemaipomenit !!!Nu a fost greu sa lucrezi cu ei ?!
Your pillows are gorgeous Geta! Thought you might be interested in a tip I found on pillow corners, a rather nifty idea.

Sti cum se sune, nu? “Omul sfinteste locul!” Asa faci tu cu materialele! Tot ce atingi se schimba in ceva minunat!

Sunt superbe, ca toate quilturile facute de tine. Te admir foarte mult!
Imi doresc sa ajung si eu pe aproape, dar drumul pe care trebuie sa-l parcurg este foarte lung.

I wouldn’t have thought of doing that, but they really turned out pretty!
