I finished this 20'' piece, this color is so hard to photograph!! Everything was free motion quilted. Coloring this mandala design (it has 40 repeats) with thread was a lovely experience, BUT: - I stitched too much and flattened the design too much (I should have stopped at picture#3 ); - the variegated thread takes too much attention! - the textured quilting outside the … [Read more...]
A little wholecloth quilt
I LOVE this little wholecloth quilt. I think it was the time to make one, since I love so much playing with thread. So here is a first try. It all started with a good water soluble marker. Everything until now was stitched with the walking foot. At this stage I thought it is lovely, but what if I add more quilting? I washed the piece and took some pictures (just to play … [Read more...]

I now have two coasters and a little placemat. Of … [Read more...]

New technique, new quilt, new pattern
I finally finished this quilt top (fusible raw edge applique) I made last summer. I love the different look achieved after quilting. What do you think? It was a pleasure to select the fabrics (Fossil Fern by Benartex) - it looks beautiful even without quilting. When the fusing fun was over, I had to choose the color of thread to use for quilting. Big, big decision! I knew it has to … [Read more...]
