Isn't this pouch wonderful ? My friend Teodora made it for me a few months ago. She knows very well what I like: green color and kitties. Fabulous assorted ! I carry it in my tote bag but it is too sweet to be hiden there, I have to find another use for it! The kitty panel is a paper napkin. The pouch is washable, YES! The technique is called "decoupage" and Teodora has a tutorial … [Read more...]
Lunch Bag
I made a lunch bag for my hubby.I don't have too many fabrics in my stash suitable for man projects and I am glad I found this navy velveteen. I made for the first time this type of cover and it turned out great. He wanted something that folded could fit in his pocket, let's see if this could change his mind:). Too bad I don't have at hand some oilcloth - I could make … [Read more...]

My sister loves the quilt- she doesn't see anything wrong with the quilting or the texture. I have to make three new projects until August 26!Happy Stitching!Geta … [Read more...]
2 in 1 Quilt Finished
What a terrible week I had! Just because I ran out of cotton batting. While I worked on this quilt my only thought was: "I ruined this quilt, I ruined this quilt!" . So I started hating the quilt instead of hating me that I did not wait with this quilt until I have the batting I wanted. 143 cubes, 75"x87" the final size. Pictures of the quilt top I wanted to quilt the blocks with … [Read more...]
WIP
I started quilting the cube quilt - and I am not having fun!Today is the fourth day and I don't think I am brave enough to finish it. The quilt was too wide and since I did not have such wide batting I trimmed two vertical rows from the both sides. I am not sure if I will hate or love this quilt - I have to wait to finish it! Right now I hate it! I hope you are having fun! … [Read more...]
Memories…
... from years ago.8 years ago I made this quilt for my nephew Dragos for his 13 birthday. Tomorrow he is turning 21 and he needs a new quilt. Until Alex's birth he was the youngest of our nephews and we have always spoiled him- he was the first in the family who had a bed quilt. This was my 2003-quilting style! At the time I was a big fan of batiks. The quilt was washed many times, the colors … [Read more...]

Then we spent a day with Alex at the foot of the mountain. and here is a view of Brasov. Yes- this is me! Happy Stitching Week! … [Read more...]
Simple Quilt Finished
Quilting done since Friday! Delivered to the 7-year little boy - he was more interested in playing with the two cats! But his mother was in love! Here is, made in 3 days and washed twice (because Alex wanted to try it too). I am in love now with simple fabrics, simple patterns and SIMPLE quilting. Straight lines done with free motion - I did not struggle to keep the lines … [Read more...]
In love with white too
Isn't white the best color? Even if you have only a few pieces cut on bias? That is why I have so narrow sashing. Very happy how it turned out... That special boy will leave the country in a few days so I would better go to quilt it! … [Read more...]
Still in love with solids
I put to good use the last pieces of my solid collection - 9" squares. I spent some time wondering which fabric would look best as background: tan, black or white.White color won. Black looks too dramatic and anyway I think it is not a proper color for a young boy. I have no idea what I am making here but it should be something beautiful because this quilt will be for a special 6 year … [Read more...]
