I am working on 2 bags; both are quilted, one on batting and one on Timtex; I am taking pictures and I will write soon an interfacing guide for bag making; I made lots of bags lately and I learned a lot. Do you remember this soft and cozy comforter I made for my little nephew Alex ? I visited the same shop where I bought the yellow minky (in Romania, if you believe!) and I found … [Read more...]
Patchwork quilt top done
The top is finally done. 8'' blocks; 12x12 blocks= 144; it's huge: 96'' x 96''. The block is from my Disco Balls pattern.

As always- it is great to have sisters (and many!); I don't know what they love more: to help me or to baste hexagons! You wouldn't say, but here there are almost 700 pieces. Some of them needed a lot of … [Read more...]

WIP – Hexagon Cubes
I finished the hexagon cubes. 2 or 3 cubes were stitched by my sister Nina. The picture doesn't show the real colors, no matter how much I tried! Now I have to baste other 120 hexagons to place them around the cubes. I am linking to: … [Read more...]
