New Quilt and Pattern
I LOVE this quilt. I can't even remember when I finished it, now I am happy it is washed and delivered to my hubby. It's a lap size quilt, with perfect colors for a man! My hubby loves it but he anyway loves everything I sew:). In the first stage of piecing I was disappointed that I did not have white fabric to use as neutral but now I can see that the beige fabric was a better option. It … [Read more...]
Black Quilt Finished
Even my family noticed: "You have never used black until now"! I tried to use colors I know my nephew loves. From me it's only the green! I added a little blue to my initial color palette, I felt there is too much orange-yellow-green. Anyway, the blue was the only solid I still had in my stash so it wasn't difficult to make the choice. It measures 62'' x 86'' (155 x 215 … [Read more...]
Thread and…mountains
I am busy this week with non-quilted things. But I hope to find a little time to add the binding to my latest quilt. Yes, I finished the black quilt for my nephew. Could you believe I don't know how it turned out? I didn't have a chance to look at it after I finished the quilting. I admired it after I quilted one row then I quilted on it for two days from morning to late in the night and when the … [Read more...]
I need your help
I wrote the pattern for this quilt. But it doesn't have a name. I always have difficulties in naming my quilts. Does this design inspire you a name ? If you could suggest me a name and if I will use it, I will gladly send you the pattern. Also, would you like to help me and test this pattern? I need 2 testers. There is not much work to do. Just to piece two blocks. But I need your … [Read more...]

WIP
I am still wondering how my quilt will turn out! For years I thought that 10 colors in a quilt are way too much, now I am wondering if these colors are enough. But I make this quilt for a young man so it can be too colorful, right? I can't disturb my hubby with my noisy sewing machine now so I will have to wait until tomorrow to see! Can't wait to add the black! I am more and more in love with … [Read more...]
Wide scrappy binding
I am more and more in love with wide scrappy binding. I like to cut scraps of the same length - the binding looks great and it is easy to calculate how many pieces you need. My pieces were cut 3.5 inches wide and my finish binding is 0.5" wide. I have to wash it then to take some good pictures.But only after I will handed it to my hubby. Today is his 44 anniversary! I hope you are having … [Read more...]
A New Beginning
My next quilt (for my 21 year nephew) will be black.I don't like black color. Here in Romania when someone dies the familly usually wear black clothes for a few months. I think that is why I have such an aversion to black color. I don't have too many black clothes. But I hope I will love this quilt - I added many happy colors! Still there will be a lot of black. … [Read more...]
Happy again…
I had a few pieces of colored poplin, very wide(more than 100 inches) but short (1 yard). And I pieced two striped backings for my next quilts. I did not use the rotary cutter and cutting mat! I just ripped strips from the width of the fabric, then I pressed them and stitched them together. The strips ended up perfect straight and it was so easy to piece them together. Too bad I did not … [Read more...]
