It's hard to make 10 bags, even if they are minis! Even if you think you sew quickly! Even if the fabrics are different and beautiful! All my appreciation for those who make a living from this type of business. I could not do it day after day. All the bags are quilted - they are soft but still have body. Just perfect for little girls. I used my Chantal pattern. I am big fan of Ann Kelle … [Read more...]

New English Paper Pieced Quilt Pattern
My new pattern for this English paper pieced quilt is finished. Thank you all who sent me suggestions for a name. It was hard to choose one. And I told you that the chosen name is more beautiful than the quilt! Thank you, Lisa! What do you think ? These simplified versions are available too. If you want to make your own version, here is the pattern. Thank you for your support! Geta … [Read more...]
My new bags
I am so excited, because stitching these two bags, I learned something new. First I made this one, with beautiful heavyweight fabric from Ikea. A new trip to Ikea is in line, because this fabric is gorgeous. They have a version with blue instead of pink and grey gingham. I need them NOW! My first try of stitching a hidden zippered pocket. It wasn't successful! A … [Read more...]

A new name- again!
I love to make patterns/designs in different sizes. The smaller and simplified versions are great for busy quilters. For the pattern below I made 4 versions - here are the biggest and the smallest. This one measures 12'' - I will finish it into a 16'' pillow. The large one measures 30'' Could you help me with a cool name for this pattern ? I can't come up with … [Read more...]
New purse for a little girl
It's time to make purses for little girls - Christmas is almost here. Bored by this pattern (here and here), and this one I thought to try something new. And because I love these bags I made for me and my sisters, I thought to modify the pattern and make a mini version. It's not the shape I want but at least I wasted pretty fabrics! What can I do, I can't work with ugly fabric! I … [Read more...]
Quilting faux leather
Over the years I quilted different fabrics: of course, most of them were quilt fabrics. But I quilted home decor fabrics as well, velvet, denim and textured fabrics. Now it was the turn of faux leather to be quilted. This one below is a very thin fabric; I don't think it is suitable for bags (maybe for a small pouch). I gave 1 meter to my niece for a skirt. Can't wait to see it. This … [Read more...]
