New Quilt! I would like to make it in a week, but this is just a dream. English paper piecing, paper templates, hand stitching and 200 pieces, no way to make it so quickly. I selected the fabrics from my precious Fusions fat quarter box. I have in my stash even enough fabric (from the same line) for the two backgrounds. I have to wash them, meanwhile I am playing with the colors, … [Read more...]
Fabric file folder
After all the "solid fabric" projects I made lately, I feel the need to use some beautiful prints from my stash. And I made this quick and easy project. Sometimes I have to go out and keep some documents flat and I thought this fabric folder would look much better than a regular plastic folder. It's an A4 size. It is very stiff, between fabric layers I used a thin but … [Read more...]
Orphan Dresden Blocks
I continue to make (and collect orphan!) dresden fan blocks. I made these blocks a few weeks ago, for my green quilt. I wasn't too happy with them and I put them in a box. Some day I will try another version. The only thing I am sure about is that I want blocks that look like circles and not blocks that look like octagons. You can see in the photo below the difference between the blocks. My … [Read more...]

The anatomy of a quilt
Do you remember this top ? And this top ? They became this! My largest shadow trapunto quilt - 55'' x 55''. When I started working on this quilt, there were two options: if everything goes well, I will make a beautiful quilt. If something goes wrong, instead of one quilt, I will make two- an applique quilt and a simple shadow trapunto. My concern was that the trapunto design … [Read more...]
Binding
I am in the binding stage. It's already pieced. I made even a hanging sleeve. Now to sew them. Thank you for your latest comments. I am glad you like what you see. Yes, this is the back. The front is colorful. Some of you asked about the machine I used. This one. Working on this quilt I learned what patience means. Music helped me a lot! How silly on my part to post music videos … [Read more...]
Almost finished
It took me more than 4 days to rip out the stitches in the 4 corners. The new stitching looks better. And it is almost done! … [Read more...]
I am expert!
in ripping out stitches... I don't like the color! I knew that I don't like quilting with dark thread on light fabric, but I did not have too many choices. But I can't understand why I had to stitch for 4 hours and use 500 yds of thread to realize this. How many days do I need to remove the stitches? At least 4! This is the second. Lesson learned again. I will never say again … [Read more...]
