Do you buy Ikea fabric ? Here is the latest addition to my stash. A medium weight cotton. I thought to use them for the back of some decorative pillows I want to sew. This weight works great for bags too. For the bag below I paired it with a Decovil light interfacing and I loved it. They would be perfect as lining for bags too. Below there is a heavyweight cotton. I made these bags … [Read more...]
New Hint!
Not much achieved this week. I washed and bound three quilts and took tons of pictures. Still I don't have good pictures. Here is the binding attached. And the quilting on the background. I thought only pebbles is boring so that here and there I quilted some flowers. Do you want another hint? How about the technique? This is a quilt I made probably 10 years ago. Each piece was … [Read more...]
Enjoying colors
It's just... BINDING! I made it to match the pattern of my new quilt. It was a last minute idea and I surprised myself that I did not say: "NO, NO WAY!". I thought it worth the effort. The white strips measure 3/8''. The others are 2 1/2''. I used about 35 different colors of Kona cotton. I think the quilt has even more colors. Still a lot to do for this quilt! Until I hang … [Read more...]
Jeans Needles
I love and appreciate jeans needles more and more. They saved my sanity when I quilted with the Aurifil 12wt thick thread and these days I had another nice surprise. I had to quilt over fusible web appliques; I used Aurifil 50wt thread and a topstitch needle; I tested the thread tension on a small regular sandwich - no appliques. Perfect stitches. Then I started to quilt over the appliques - … [Read more...]

My “Soy Amado”
The beginning of this week found me with a stack of four quilt tops waiting for quilting. One of the quilt took me three days (can't wait to show you, I still have to wash it) and the next one three hours! I just needed an "easy" quilt to quilt! I love to quilt but I am really tired of challenges! So this project came just in time! Alison of "Little Island Quilting" is making quilts for … [Read more...]

Colors for a new quilt
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...]
