I'm off to "Romanian Music Awards!". Happy weekend, Geta … [Read more...]
My new Two Color Quilt and Pattern
My new two color quilt is finally on my mother-in-law's bed. I wanted it to be warm and lightweight so I chose to use a polyester batting. The polyester batting doesn't highlight the quilting the same way as a cotton batting - we can't have all the advantages in a piece of batting! Do you remember how it started? There are 121 blocks and 11 different patterns. I pieced the blocks and … [Read more...]
The best needles for quilting
What are the best needles for quilting? Topstitch needles Years ago I started using topstitch needles for free motion quilting and it made a huge difference in my quilting. One of the major frustration when free motion quilting is thread breaking. You will LOVE or HATE free motion quilting - it depends on how often your thread breaks. I hated it many times, but as long as we stitch - we try … [Read more...]
Free Quilt Design
For my newsletter subscribers. The design would look great on a few pillows. The technique is fast and easy- raw edge applique. The only hard part is choosing the colors! What I love about these designs is that the edges can be stitched down in continuous line. Are you on my newsletter list?

Inspiration for quilts

I couldn't resist to a bundle of 42 colors! And I dreamed of a box of fossil fern for years! I guess I can't ask anything else to Santa! I already have on paper the next 4 quilts!! All will be made with these … [Read more...]
Quilting feathers on borders
I hate adding borders to quilts. Sometimes I have to do it- the design was square and I needed a longer quilt. Happy that I had to add only two!! Then I quilted them and now I see the borders with other eyes. I think it's the first time I quilt feathers on borders. I loved it! I will do it again, hopefully soon! Geta … [Read more...]

There is always place for “better”
Do you remember this Aurifil wholecloth quilt? It is one of my favorite quilt. I finished it in a hurry and I did not like how it turned out at all. It's not perfectly flat, it has wavy edges! The quilt is just gorgeous and there was no other choice than to try finishing it in a better way. I removed the binding of the 75'' quilt and I washed, squared and bound it again. And here is the new … [Read more...]
Geometric Gradation Quilt
I still have 40 blocks to quilt. So today I have to buy a gift! Here is the quilt top. I made this design years ago and I am happy that I finally used it. There are 11 different blocks and 121 blocks arranged into a 11x11 grid. You wouldn't say but it is really easy to cut the pieces for the blocks and to piece them. The blocks measure 6'' and the green squares vary in size from 1/2'' … [Read more...]
