I love to work on this mini quilt. In just a few hours, I made templates and cut out all the applique pieces. This time I made the templates out of fusible web. Half of the templates I printed directly on the paper side of fusible web. Then the printer couldn't recognize the paper and did not want to print again. So I had to transfer the other half of design by hand. Nothing fun! All the … [Read more...]
New Quilt
I started a new quilt. I am so content and confident that I will finish it soon. Because it will be a miniature. These are the fabrics. Just looking at the picture it doesn't seem too interesting... so I played a little with the picture. Just too see better how the colors work together. And a little hint: I will not piece those little 3'' squares. Thank you for all the names … [Read more...]

In my first years of quilting, I did not have major problems with piecing or straight line quilting (with a walking foot) but free motion quilting was a real challenge to me. So here are a … [Read more...]

A Present for a Busy Quilter
Do you recall this? I told that it is a project I will never stitch. Well, I was wrong...A last minute idea and I made these: and even a little more... This was my Christmas present for my friend Sanda. She is extremely busy and she can't enjoy quilting as much as she would like to. How often would you put at work the sewing machine if you have only 10 or 30 minutes to sew? So I thought a … [Read more...]
