Three Color Quilt
It started as a two color quilt, but I did not have enough fabric so I added the third color. It was the best idea! I wanted it in a custom size and I had to add borders. In the end, it's not the size I needed. I just couldn't add 10'' wide borders! I have 6'' blocks and a 10'' border seems oversized. On the computer the design looks good, but I did not want to try it on fabric. So after I cut … [Read more...]
Cath Kidston Love
One of the highlights of my latest trip to Paris was the Kath Kidston shop we found accidentally. I bought a few things and after we came home, I continually ask myself why I did not buy that thing or why I did not pay attention to other things (like bags!!). Now I don't waste any chance of increasing my Cath Kidston collection. A cup bought from Romania, in a beautiful tin. And from Etsy, … [Read more...]

Colorful applique quilt
I finished another version of the "Secret Flower Garden" quilt pattern. This is the mid-size version, the flower sphere measures 20''. The quilt is 27'' square. Here is how it was and how it is now! After I did the "colored free motion quilting" on this quilt, I wanted to play again with thread on the background. I used the thick Aurifil 12wt thread. As you can see, the quilting … [Read more...]

Lets' see first the amazing gifts I received from Bente - She … [Read more...]
My New Raw Edge Applique Quilt
I love FUSIBLE raw edge appliques. I don't have patience for other types of appliques but I LOVE this quick and easy technique. Happy to show you the "Color Me Hexy" quilt! It measures 18'' and the center design is 14''. The fabric is Kona cotton and it is quilted with Aurifil 50wt. The quilting (and the fusible web) is what keeps the appliques in place. I did not secure the edges … [Read more...]
Quilt Piecing Tips
Quilt Piecing Tips Let's confess! How many of you stitch over pins? I stitch!! The only exception is when I stitch multiple layers of thick fabrics- in bags. But I would advice anyone to avoid stitching over pins. A machine needle hitting a pin could break and hit your eye. Or it could damage your sewing machine. It happened to me once and the machine needed a repair. If you choose to … [Read more...]
Free motion quilting with colored thread
Tonight I hope I will have time to edit the photos of one of my latest quilts. It is one of my favorite quilts! Here is the thread I used to quilt the background. Usually I quilt with just one color. After I quilted this one, the idea of using many colors is more and more appealing to me. This is the thread I received for the Aurifil Challenge; you wouldn't say, but you can sew a lot with … [Read more...]
