I am in love with these new boxes. What I love most is that the center box is taller than the other boxes that surround it. The difference is only 0.5'' so that it is not too visible in the picture. But I plan to make another set or use this idea for another design. These are cute too. I spent a lot of time choosing fabrics from the huge box of Fusions fat quarters. Having too many … [Read more...]
The book is here
A few days ago I received an advance copy of my book. Tears…of joy to see the finished book. Tears… of relief that almost two years of work and waiting are over. - Making the quilts for the book was easy. - Writing the manuscript wasn't too hard. - The editing phase with the folks of C&T was incredibly easy (after I sent the manuscript, I was worried about this phase and ready for … [Read more...]
Hearts again…
So I made a new box. This time, I like more the heart's shape. And I made a little heart purse too. One seam was a little tricky to sew... but just a little... Maybe it was because of the small size (it's only 1'' deep)...Maybe it will be easier to sew the second one. I love the ric-rac handle. I added a little piece of Velcro on the ends of the handle. But no more heart boxes, … [Read more...]

Boxes with Love
You might remember the gift I sent to my friend Sanda for Christmas. I thought Sanda needs a container to keep all these together and because I couldn't find any beautiful tin for this purpose, I had to be creative and make my own tin. And because working with metal still has secrets for me (some day I will have to learn how to work with that wonderful Mod Podge), I had to work with … [Read more...]
Free Motion Quilting Tips II
When I bought my sewing machine,11 years ago, I wanted that someone be able to show me all the secrets so I can stitch easily. But no one could do that for me because one of the secrets is PRACTICE. In my first years of quilting, I did not have major problems with piecing or straight line quilting (with a walking foot) but free motion quilting was a real challenge to me. So here are a … [Read more...]

Quilts from My Book
Here is the quilt that ended up on the cover of my book. It's so ironic because blue is the color I like the least! There were three quilts considered to be on the cover and none of them was green! It wasn't my choice and it was such a good thing because I could not have chose one. It is a small quilt, about 22'' square". I love the back, the white fabric allows the design to … [Read more...]
New Fabric Boxes
I did not buy a new camera, I did not change the photographer, outside it is still winter and a cloudy weather so the next photos are not good at all...sorry...

I fussy cut a few dolls... made a few boxes and now I am wondering what to make … [Read more...]
