Actually, I made two versions, and they are a little different from my style! Pictures coming soon! Have a great … [Read more...]

Quick gifts to sew
These are the gifts I should have sewn in May and July! So happy I cut them off the list. I made a simple patchwork for the front of the bag- to ensure delivery before Christmas! I can't make a bag without sewing two assorted pouches - the gift would not be complete! And do you know about the horizontal stripes that make you look fat? This bag looks fat too. I used the same pattern and … [Read more...]
Sewing With Faux Leather
I am sewing two new faux leather bags. While on Internet I read that you need a special foot to sew this material (a non-stick foot, teflon foot - there are different names for different brands), I stitch perfectly with my walking foot. On my Pfaff (Select), this foot is integrated, it's not a separate attachment. I use it to piece everything, not only for quilting. And I LOVE it! This … [Read more...]

These are two shadow trapunto pillows. … [Read more...]
Inspiration for new quilt designs
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...]
