I used the last two lace zippers! I have to make a new order! Do you remember these quick pouches I made some time ago? Only 30 minutes are needed for one pouch- and that includes the quilting! Sew with a home decor fabric - you don't need interfacing or quilting - and you will finish the pouch in 20 minutes! No fancy zippers? Regular zippers are fine too. Happy … [Read more...]

Three Color Quilt
It started as a two color quilt, but I did not have enough fabric so I added the third color. It was the best idea! I wanted it in a custom size and I had to add borders. In the end, it's not the size I needed. I just couldn't add 10'' wide borders! I have 6'' blocks and a 10'' border seems oversized. On the computer the design looks good, but I did not want to try it on fabric. So after I cut … [Read more...]
Cath Kidston Love
One of the highlights of my latest trip to Paris was the Kath Kidston shop we found accidentally. I bought a few things and after we came home, I continually ask myself why I did not buy that thing or why I did not pay attention to other things (like bags!!). Now I don't waste any chance of increasing my Cath Kidston collection. A cup bought from Romania, in a beautiful tin. And from Etsy, … [Read more...]

Colorful applique quilt
I finished another version of the "Secret Flower Garden" quilt pattern. This is the mid-size version, the flower sphere measures 20''. The quilt is 27'' square. Here is how it was and how it is now! After I did the "colored free motion quilting" on this quilt, I wanted to play again with thread on the background. I used the thick Aurifil 12wt thread. As you can see, the quilting … [Read more...]

Shadow Trapunto for Quilts with winter theme
Is there a better technique than shadow trapunto to make quilts with winter theme? I think that the designs of my shadow trapunto quilts look like they are drawn in the snow. And it's not only the visual effect, if you could touch them... The quilts below are some of my first shadow trapunto quilts- made in 2008. I think this was my first miniature! I duplicated … [Read more...]
Twas the Night Blog Hop
Welcome to a new blog hop! This time it's all about sewing quick gifts and the pleasure of gift giving. And even more - we had to sew and send a quick gift to one of the participants. Thank you Madame Samm and Marlene for organizing this blog hop- I can't believe I already have Christmas gifts and it's not even the end of November! Lets' see first the amazing gifts I received from Bente - She … [Read more...]
Quick gifts to sew
I am stitching quick gifts for the next blog hop I am in. Today - 20 minute pouches! Are these fast enough to sew? I am using the lace zippers and faux suede. This is the reason they are so fast to sew - no need for interfacing. This faux suede is such a great fabric to sew with. I already stitched 11! I think the lace tape looks so beautiful on the solid color. But I … [Read more...]
