Here is a sneak peek at my new wholecloth quilt pattern. These days I am experimenting with different designs, batting layers, thread + fabric combinations. It's hard to stop! See for yourself why! Stitching these repetitive designs creates a rhythm that invites you to stitch more and more - it's a kind of addiction! That's why I couldn't stop (designing and sewing) at … [Read more...]

Free Motion Quilting shouldn’t scare you
Here is my new small wholecloth quilt - a new version of this quilt - I left the center rosette unquilted and there is a different - and such FUN - background quilting. The quilt is 20'' and the rosette - 16''. The fabric is Fossil Fern (Benartex) and I quilted with Aurifil. This quilt was entirely free motion quilted - but the center rosette can easily be quilted with the walking … [Read more...]

Faux leather pouches
Do you know what fabric is this? It's a laser cut faux leather, a very fine and stretch material, used in the garment industry. I knew that it's not strong enough for using in bags, but I thought that it's lovely to see the cut away motifs highlighted by the bright color of the fabric used underneath, so I bought it. Three years later, I thought it's time to make a pouch or two! So … [Read more...]
Easy zipper pouch pattern
I love sewing pouches, I think we never have too many! My family and friends always appreciate them, so I continue to sew pouches for gifts! How about a pouch that can be sewn in less than 20 minutes? This is the most important feature of my new pouches. Cool way to stitch the lining- it adds a nice finishing touch to the zipper and also makes the construction of the pouch quick and … [Read more...]
Coloring with thread
I finished this 20'' piece, this color is so hard to photograph!! Everything was free motion quilted. Coloring this mandala design (it has 40 repeats) with thread was a lovely experience, BUT: - I stitched too much and flattened the design too much (I should have stopped at picture#3 ); - the variegated thread takes too much attention! - the textured quilting outside the … [Read more...]
A little wholecloth quilt
I LOVE this little wholecloth quilt. I think it was the time to make one, since I love so much playing with thread. So here is a first try. It all started with a good water soluble marker. Everything until now was stitched with the walking foot. At this stage I thought it is lovely, but what if I add more quilting? I washed the piece and took some pictures (just to play … [Read more...]
