Raw Edge Applique Quilted Pillow
I finally finished one of the projects I have in the works. A pillow made with the fast technique that is fusible raw edge applique. Just in time to enter it into the "2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge"; so here is my 16'' pillow. I love this design I made a few months ago; at first I thought to make a miniature quilt then I changed my mind; the 3D look is more visible on a pillow. I love that I … [Read more...]
Follow Your Passion!
I started quilting almost 13 years ago and at the time I certainly didn’t think that someday I will turn my passion for quilting into a little business. Any beginning is hard and mine was as well; but many people have helped me along the way, in a way or another. 8-9 years ago I had a few kaleidoscope kits for sale and Mihaela was my first Romanian customer. She bought the kit and sent me an … [Read more...]

WIP
I am at the quilting stage now. I read on Patricia's blog that she uses a sheet of glass over the quilt top to test different quilting designs. I think it is a brilliant idea. I don't have glass so I used a piece of transparent plastic (the one used for laminating paper); you need water soluble pen then test, test, test... I can't say that I have too much patience when it comes to … [Read more...]
Faux Leather Bag in Argyle pattern
I and my sister Nina make a lot of plans. She will retire in about 4 years and we dream to grow my little business and work together! For now she took three weeks off from her job and we thought we will stitch a lot! The first week my nephew Alex was sick - we stitched nothing! The second week Alex went to his home but he left the cold - we stitched almost nothing! This is the third week … [Read more...]
Beach Bag
If you live near sea, then you need a beach bag, right ? I made this bag for my friend Sanda. The fabrics are Ann Kelle (R Kaufman). I used the same technique used on this bag, but I changed the size. I love this large pocket... I added even a zipper closure! It's very roomy... I used Decovil light interfacing. I see more bags like this one in the future! Have a … [Read more...]
