Washing Fabrics
In the last few days I organized my fabric stash. My bedroom is my “studio” and because it is so convenient to have the fabrics on hand, I kept some of them there. But now I moved them all.Last summer I became allergic to the chemicals contained by fabrics. How ironic is that: a quilter to have allergy to fabrics! Before this I wasn’t allergic to anything, or, at least, I did not have any sign of … [Read more...]

I pieced the blocks and finger pressed the seam allowances open then I stitched them down. No bulky seam allowances on the back side. Some of the blocks distorted more than others so that I adjusted … [Read more...]

Labels for quilts
One lesson I don’t want to learn: to add labels to my quilts. I have never paid attention to this detail. Probably because the permanent markers I have are not so permanent…I think that after washing the writing will fade anyway.But my friend Mihaela helped me to become a serious quilter. A few weeks ago I received from her a beautiful box and inside of it I was so surprised and excited to find a … [Read more...]
