I am happy and excited to share with you my latest quilt! I enjoyed so much working on it - no wonder- I made it for Alex, my 8-month-old nephew. He can't yet build himself little castles from wooden blocks, so here are the 12 little castles I built for him. I started cutting and piecing the blocks thinking that this step will take me forever because all the blocks are different and … [Read more...]
New Quilt Design
Here is the new design for my newsletter subscribers. It measures 15 inches, the perfect size for a pillow. I designed it with EQ software. If you need a smaller design you can print the pattern at a reduced scale. I am not the best at appliques, but a springy table runner is so tempting! Have a great weekend! … [Read more...]

And just to be sure the binding is colorful enough, I made it wider - 3 1/2''. I love wide binding!While … [Read more...]

Another WIP
Just to be sure that I don't give up to the idea of making the Jewel box pattern (that I made for my mother) in two small sizes, I started to piece the blocks. One version will be half of the size of the bed quilt and the other will be quarter of the size. These are the 2" units. I made 160. Now I have to make the 1" units. Have a great sewing day! … [Read more...]

Ready to cut…
into my solid fabric stash, washed and pressed. Fat quarters, fat eights and 10" squares - a lot of frayed edges after washing. But I managed to hide most of them when I folded the pieces. Not as much green as I would have wanted! I am not fond of these colors but they look nice in this pile. Happy Saturday! … [Read more...]
