Being more sick than healthy in the last two weeks, the only thing I could do was stitching hexagons. I am so glad I made some progress. From this... to this: It's unbelievable how much work is needed to join the flowers. I am dreaming of a whole Saturday, from morning to midnight, of stitching with all my three sisters. I hope it will happen soon...That would be progress! Happy Sewing … [Read more...]

I am turning 43 years old today. How time flies! 25 years ago I thought that people over 40 are so old! We were still under the communism and the young/cool people wore jeans (the fortunate ones, of course, at the time jeans weren't for everyone). The old people wore ugly pants made out from boring fabrics (at least this is what I was thinking). I did not even dare to think about me at 40! But … [Read more...]

Dresden Fan Plate tutorial or from circle to octagon!
Dresden Fan Plate tutorial- learn to transform a circle block into an octagon then into a square. No applique is required for finishing the block. I wanted octagons because it is easy to turn them into squares. My Dresden fan blocks have 24 wedges. I use a 15 degree fan ruler to make them.

My assistant

It is almost middle of the night, at this time I don't think I could write something clear so I show you a few pictures of one of my assistants. I can't do anything without their knowledge/approval. … [Read more...]

Thank you so much for the love you sent me through your comments and emails about my book. One year ago I finished the last quilt for the book. It is hard to just work, work, work for months... Then, for other months, you have to wait, wait, wait... Still a long wait... Meanwhile, I started another quilt. I love, love this pattern. I would love to keep the shapes of these blocks but … [Read more...]
I Wrote a Book!
Dear quilting friends, I am so happy I can finally share with you the secret I kept during the last 18 months: I wrote a book! About my shadow trapunto quilts - some of you know that this is my favorite quilting technique. The book will be released in February 2012 by C&T Publishing. Ten years ago when I started learning quilting I was exactly like a child learning the alphabet. I would … [Read more...]
