I started a new quilt. My sister Nina was patient enough to cut out half inch pieces and play with them on a grid. I LOVE my collection of solid fabric! Geta … [Read more...]
Still playing with faux leather
I hope my bags don't become too boring - I am not tired of making them. I still have colors or types of faux leather that I want to try. And because always there is someone's birthday - these are the easiest gifts to sew and the recipients love them. Always! Isn't fabulous this color ? And the pattern on faux leather really doesn't require a complicated pattern for the bag. I love to combine … [Read more...]
Planning something new
A few days ago I had a guest. My friend Luminita was anxious to show me the hexy flowers she already stitched. She was very busy... We are planning something special with the pink/purple flowers. … [Read more...]
Tips for Quilting with Thick Thread
Let's see some tips for free motion quilting with very thick thread. After I bought the fabric and thread for a wholecloth quilt I thought that I am ready to start! Actually, I wasn't prepared at all! I did not want to wait even one more day and I started the adventure of a wholecloth quilt quilted with Aurifil 12 wt thread. Click on the picture below to learn more about this … [Read more...]
The Star of a Quilt
Quilt = fabric + batting + thread. It's amazing what quilters can create with simple things like these. Let's add some colors (and a design too) and we couldn't define a quilt better. Many times all the elements of a quilt contribute to its success. And sometimes one element is more important than other. I am happy that I managed to make quilts in different techniques that show what … [Read more...]
Quilt Labels
I printed my own quilt labels on fabric. At Spoonflower. They measure 4'' x 4'' and 90 pieces fitted onto one yard of Kona cotton. Now I would have loved a less striking design(!) but if I think better, "color" is the word that perfectly describes what I do and who I am. I had a great experience with this print service.They even thanked me in Romanian! How cool is that ? More about what else … [Read more...]
My New Wholecloth Quilt
I finally finished the adventure of the wholecloth quilt. The quilt is big and I couldn't photograph it properly inside my home. Maybe in the future I will take some pictures outside. I found even a name for it: " My Rainbow Flower Garden"! Very proud of me - you know I always ask YOU to name my quilts! Here it is on the floor. It measures 75''. Since I made this mini quilt a few months … [Read more...]
Painted Binding
I thought that a plain white binding is not enough for my new quilt. So I "painted" it - with the thick Aurifil 12wt thread. So much fun! It took me some time and thread... ...and here is- enough for a 80'' square quilt. Now to see how the quilt turned out! UPDATE Finished quilt here. … [Read more...]
Blogger’s Quilt Festival
It's time for Blogger's Quilt Festival and I am still stitching on my new Aurifil Quilt. So I thought to enter one of my favorite quilts from last year in the Original Design category. The quilt measures 40'' and it was hand pieced using English paper piecing. The pattern is here. A few challenges, a few lessons to learn and the top was done. It was fun to quilt feathers (following … [Read more...]
A new adventure- Aurifil 12wt
I love beautiful prints on anything. And I am addicted to mugs and tins. These are a few things I came back with from Vienna. I will gladly go again there for a few more :) I found the perfect things to put in them! So why do you do when you want to try something new? Like Aurifil 12wt ? You would (should) buy a spool. Not me! First, I bought a color card - just to be sure that I will … [Read more...]
