I started this quilt a few years ago (pattern here) and I am happy that I am finishing it (my baby nephew needs a new quilt!). It started with a 2'' octagon; 8 triangles surround it. The result is a new octagon. Other triangles were added and a new octagon was born. One more time! Isn't the Fossil Fern fabric (by Benartex) gorgeous? A new octagon! I love this shape but it … [Read more...]
New Wholecloth Quilt Pattern
Do you remember these little white hexagon flowers? I love the look so much and I thought to quilt an entire flower sphere with this motif. And here is the result: The flowers are small and easy to quilt and you may think that I changed the color of the thread after each flower? Not at all! I quilted with the same color 4-5 flowers then I changed the thread and quilted other … [Read more...]
How to quilt feathers on hexagons
Hello friends? Do you like to quilt feathers? Have you tried it yet? I ADORE it and my favorite shape to quilt on is the hexagon. AURIFIL 28wt - my new LOVE!

I think this … [Read more...]
Free Heart Pattern for Coasters
If you have only two hours for sewing, this free heart pattern is for you! A few fabric squares, some fusible web and some heavyweight interfacing (scraps work, too).

But the knife does its job … [Read more...]
New Applique Heart Quilts and Pattern
My poor, neglected blog! It's only the fault of the technique called "reverse applique". I make one design, then another one, and then another ten! I sew one design, then I want to see how another one looks like and soon I am finding myself working on the sixth design! As you probably know, this technique produces quilts in pairs. And once you make the tops, you must quilt … [Read more...]
Christmas Folded Flowers
Since Christmas is around the corner, I thought to make my Folded Flowers pattern in Christmas fabrics. When I see pretty ornaments on fabric, I always think about fussy cutting so here are my fussy cut Christmas folded flowers. The fabrics layers were fused together with fusible web, cut in the needed shape and then I finished the edges with a zig zag stitch. I have made a few … [Read more...]
New Christmas Quilt Pattern
Hello friends, I just checked and the first time I used the knife to cut out a small design was July 31. Now, less than four months later, I have two patterns out that use this technique! Because it's too cool not to use it! This time I made some designs that look great on Christmas quilts. To me, they look great on any fabric, anyway, but with Christmas around the corner, I thought to use … [Read more...]
