Geta's Quilting Studio

So we managed to take a pictures with all us. After my sisters kept telling me that we can't gather together for the weekend, on Saturday evening at 10 the doorbell rang and the house was invaded ! We don't make surprises to each other often (because we just can't keep secrets, especially if they are happy!), so I was shocked when I saw them. Saturday was a full working day for all of them,  … [Read more...]

I'm done too! Yesterday I stitched for almost 12 hours to finish it. How fun it was to stitch the flowers and how boring to stitch the pebbles. It's now in the washing machine. With all the large seam allowances and cotton batting - it weights a lot. I knew that this will happen but I did not have other choices. I love the cotton batting because the fabric sticks so  nicely to it, … [Read more...]

Thank you all who took the time to leave me your thoughts on my previous post.  It wasn't my work that was criticized. But this is not important – what is amazing and sad is that there are quilters who speak out loud that they are superior just because they are making things in a certain way and think that quilting world is divided into "quilters" and "Quilters".

I would have loved to quilt it by hand - but this is something I couldn't  achieve in this … [Read more...]

It was easy to detect them -I rubbed  my fingers over the surface of the top - you can feel where the texture is different and you can hear! But I am still wondering how quilted and washed paper would look like under the fabric! I hope I will not find out! I baste my quilts … [Read more...]

I am back to sewing. I was about to write "back to work", but this is not true. Even if I did not sew at all in the last month, I worked a  lot. No secret projects, nothing exciting (I do have an exciting news though, but it has to wait two more weeks!), just life with good and bad, more bad this time:). I did not stitch at least one hexagon ! But I spent some time on the computer and I just … [Read more...]
