One for me and one for my sister Nina. The colors are even more beautiful than the ones in these pictures. Nina wanted a zipper closure. It is not hard to sew it but I like magnetic snaps more. Zipper on the back - it's unbelievable how quickly the zipper stock is over! And this is mine - these became now my favorite tones of green. I still have some new colors to combine. … [Read more...]
New tote bag and pouches
Hello everybody! How are you? I am glad to be home again. I loved Vienna and Robbie Williams but there is no place like home! I have many projects on the "to do" list but the most pressing was a gift for a friend. I have no idea if she likes red! I hope so! This is such a quick project- it took me four hours and more than one hour I pieced the squares. I forgot to sew a zippered pocket on the … [Read more...]

Quick gifts to sew- quilted pouches
No more worries when I need quick gifts: I sew "Little Wonders" pouches. I stitched 5 pouches in an afternoon! I am more than happy to use small pieces of fabric from my stash: the ones that are too big for "scraps" but are too small for bags or quilts. I did not have fusible fleece and I used batting. I am glad I took the time to create this texture. At first, I thought that I don't … [Read more...]
Lollipops Quilt Pattern
I am happy to share with you my latest pattern. I started it in December and I hoped to finish it by Christmas! Now it's great that I finished it before Easter. The technique is quick and easy and the fabrics I found in my stash and the patterns stored on my computer were screaming to be used. It was hard to stop at three little quilts! All the fabrics used are from the "Mixmasters Satinesque" … [Read more...]
Swirls
Do you remember this quilt I made for the Aurifil Challenge (and the free tutorial) ? At the time I made a few other designs and I just couldn't let them unused on the computer. So I am very anxious to show you how a few of them look on fabric! I am working on bindings now. I am so excited about these designs that I tried something new! Let's say that now I am very disappointed … [Read more...]
Happy, happy!
Let's share with you something that makes us all happy! Fabric! I am afraid I am addicted to fabric. For months I did not buy anything and then I made six orders in less than two weeks!! And of course I feel guilty! Do you receive many newsletters from fabric shops ? I subscribed only to a few. But the newsletter I am always excited to open is the one from Hawthorne Threads. Looking at the … [Read more...]
Faux Leather Straps Tutorial
I love making faux leather bags. I love that faux leather is available in lots of colors. Usually you need a special foot to stitch this material, but I found that my walking foot works fine. When topstitching, I have to help a little the material to move under the needle. I stitch with longer stitches than usual (I set my machine at 3). I don't get perfect stitches every time, but usually they … [Read more...]
Faux Leather Tote Bag
Does this happen to you too ? Sometimes Blogger changes a little the colors of some of my photos, after I upload them into a blog post. At least, it is what I see on my monitor. These colors are really beautiful: indigo blue and taupe. Perfect combination for my sister Oana: she loves blue and sober colors. I made a lot of bags for my sisters but they carry them all the time and I think they … [Read more...]
