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...]
Small Cube Quilt
I am so tired lately that the only thing I can do is browsing the Internet. But yesterday I had to try something on the sewing machine and I though it is a good occasion to quilt this top. I quilted it in half hour- I love when the machine is so good to me and sew! My mother wanted a small and colorful piece and now she has it. It measures 13'' x 25''. These are the first cubes I made … [Read more...]
Disappointed…
I spent all day long playing with this: I am disappointed that I don't have enough yardage from two solid fabrics to make one of these; I do have one colored print and enough neutral to make it - but I think these designs look better in solids. Tomorrow I will try something else...I hope it will work because I really want to make such a quilt. And I want to start it tomorrow! … [Read more...]
New Projects
This week I stitched NOTHING! I learned something new and now I have a new toy for playing and designing new quilts. What I love most is that I will use solids again - I already ordered a few but I don't have all the colors I need. I am so excited about the new designs, even though the quilts will be made with appliques. I am not fond of appliques at all, but I intend to make them the easy … [Read more...]

New Quilt and Pattern
I LOVE this quilt. I can't even remember when I finished it, now I am happy it is washed and delivered to my hubby. It's a lap size quilt, with perfect colors for a man! My hubby loves it but he anyway loves everything I sew:). In the first stage of piecing I was disappointed that I did not have white fabric to use as neutral but now I can see that the beige fabric was a better option. It … [Read more...]
Black Quilt Finished
Even my family noticed: "You have never used black until now"! I tried to use colors I know my nephew loves. From me it's only the green! I added a little blue to my initial color palette, I felt there is too much orange-yellow-green. Anyway, the blue was the only solid I still had in my stash so it wasn't difficult to make the choice. It measures 62'' x 86'' (155 x 215 … [Read more...]
WIP
I am still wondering how my quilt will turn out! For years I thought that 10 colors in a quilt are way too much, now I am wondering if these colors are enough. But I make this quilt for a young man so it can be too colorful, right? I can't disturb my hubby with my noisy sewing machine now so I will have to wait until tomorrow to see! Can't wait to add the black! I am more and more in love with … [Read more...]
Wide scrappy binding
I am more and more in love with wide scrappy binding. I like to cut scraps of the same length - the binding looks great and it is easy to calculate how many pieces you need. My pieces were cut 3.5 inches wide and my finish binding is 0.5" wide. I have to wash it then to take some good pictures.But only after I will handed it to my hubby. Today is his 44 anniversary! I hope you are having … [Read more...]
