Is that easy: from pictures to quilts! I was also inspired by this mosaic quilt. I love the narrow white space between the pieces. This is made with Kona cotton. And the second design. And this one is made with Fossil Fern fabrics. Can't wait to quilt it (the first one is already quilted). Could you suggest some names for them, please? Your suggestions will be appreciated. … [Read more...]
Remembering Paris
September again. With great pleasure I remember September of 2013. One year ago, I and my hubby loaded the car with some stuff and we headed to Paris. Three days on the road and we arrived there. We loved out adventure on the road, we loved Paris, the Mylene Farmer's concerts (and oh, the feeling when I found out that our quilt won an award at Houston) but most of all I loved that all my three … [Read more...]

My new Two Color Quilt and Pattern
My new two color quilt is finally on my mother-in-law's bed. I wanted it to be warm and lightweight so I chose to use a polyester batting. The polyester batting doesn't highlight the quilting the same way as a cotton batting - we can't have all the advantages in a piece of batting! Do you remember how it started? There are 121 blocks and 11 different patterns. I pieced the blocks and … [Read more...]
The best needles for quilting
What are the best needles for quilting? Topstitch needles Years ago I started using topstitch needles for free motion quilting and it made a huge difference in my quilting. One of the major frustration when free motion quilting is thread breaking. You will LOVE or HATE free motion quilting - it depends on how often your thread breaks. I hated it many times, but as long as we stitch - we try … [Read more...]
Feeling grateful
Every time I quilt something I am grateful for the sewing machine I successfully use for free motion quilting. I am grateful to two men. They did not even know what quilting was but they recommended me and brought my dream sewing machine to my home. It happened a few years ago. In a few occasions I told you about my sewing machines, these days I try to put together a "recipe" that will make you … [Read more...]
Free Quilt Design
For my newsletter subscribers. The design would look great on a few pillows. The technique is fast and easy- raw edge applique. The only hard part is choosing the colors! What I love about these designs is that the edges can be stitched down in continuous line. Are you on my newsletter list? Happy sewing, Geta Subscribe to my newsletter Monthly Free Quilt Design Access … [Read more...]

All will be made with these … [Read more...]

It should be something small and delicate. Happy sewing, Edited to add See the gorgeous pouches I have made with these zippers. … [Read more...]
