This little guy kept me busy in the last 3 days. My spools kept him busy too... "Thank you" for your comments about the cube quilt. My sister loves the quilt- she doesn't see anything wrong with the quilting or the texture. I have to make three new projects until August 26!Happy Stitching!Geta … [Read more...]
2 in 1 Quilt Finished
What a terrible week I had! Just because I ran out of cotton batting. While I worked on this quilt my only thought was: "I ruined this quilt, I ruined this quilt!" . So I started hating the quilt instead of hating me that I did not wait with this quilt until I have the batting I wanted. 143 cubes, 75"x87" the final size. Pictures of the quilt top I wanted to quilt the blocks with … [Read more...]
WIP
I started quilting the cube quilt - and I am not having fun!Today is the fourth day and I don't think I am brave enough to finish it. The quilt was too wide and since I did not have such wide batting I trimmed two vertical rows from the both sides. I am not sure if I will hate or love this quilt - I have to wait to finish it! Right now I hate it! I hope you are having fun! … [Read more...]
Memories…
... from years ago.8 years ago I made this quilt for my nephew Dragos for his 13 birthday. Tomorrow he is turning 21 and he needs a new quilt. Until Alex's birth he was the youngest of our nephews and we have always spoiled him- he was the first in the family who had a bed quilt. This was my 2003-quilting style! At the time I was a big fan of batiks. The quilt was washed many times, the colors … [Read more...]
No stitching…

Then we spent a day with Alex at the foot of the mountain. and here is a view of Brasov. Yes- this is me! Happy Stitching Week! … [Read more...]
Simple Quilt Finished
Quilting done since Friday! Delivered to the 7-year little boy - he was more interested in playing with the two cats! But his mother was in love! Here is, made in 3 days and washed twice (because Alex wanted to try it too). I am in love now with simple fabrics, simple patterns and SIMPLE quilting. Straight lines done with free motion - I did not struggle to keep the lines … [Read more...]
In love with white too
Isn't white the best color? Even if you have only a few pieces cut on bias? That is why I have so narrow sashing. Very happy how it turned out... That special boy will leave the country in a few days so I would better go to quilt it! … [Read more...]
Still in love with solids
I put to good use the last pieces of my solid collection - 9" squares. I spent some time wondering which fabric would look best as background: tan, black or white.White color won. Black looks too dramatic and anyway I think it is not a proper color for a young boy. I have no idea what I am making here but it should be something beautiful because this quilt will be for a special 6 year … [Read more...]
2 in 1 quilt
So, this is my quilt of (too) many colors! You can see here 9 rows, the top has 13 rows. - 90"x90" ( what size is this ? I made it 10" wider that I planned!); - 163 blocks; - It was a challenge to make it! All the steps in making this pattern are time consuming and cutting the triangles from strips and pressing are the most annoying ones. I pieced the top in vertical rows … [Read more...]
Making progress on a new quilt
Do you remember that I am working on a quilt with many colors? I am using all the colors from three Kona cotton jelly rolls. This will be indeed a very colorful quilt- I need many blocks so I had to use even brown, gray, tan and all these neutral colors that I am not too fond of. This is probably the less urgent project I have to make in the next month but I have a thought that … [Read more...]
