I didn't make too many bed quilts in my quilting adventure.This pineapple quilt was made in my first years of quilting. I used 18 fabrics to make it. I rarely use so many fabrics in a quilt. I was so proud of my fabric collection !I am proud of the borders too, because usually I am too lazy to add borders to quilts...And it is not paper pieced... From the same fabrics I made even a small quilt. I … [Read more...]
Mary’s shadow trapunto quilt
My friend Mary stitched this quilt a few days ago. She was so kind and tested my shadow trapunto pattern. She did a wonderful job ! Thank you, Mary !

I hope it will cool the atmosphere of the hot summer days … [Read more...]

Texture…more texture…
A few years ago I didn't think that I will ever quilt a fabric like this:Acum cativa ani nu-mi inchipuiam ca o sa quiltuiesc un material ca acesta: But I changed my mind: so what if this isn't 100% cotton fabric ? What if it is a crepe fabric ? The more texture...the better, so I quilted this ... I even pieced this ( just a little !) ...Dar m-am razgandit: si ce daca nu e material 100% bumbac ? … [Read more...]
