I saw this picture on Pinterest; it reminds me by my color addiction. I don't quilt because I love fabric or patterns or because I love to sew; primarily I quilt because I love colors. I suppose most of the quilters are like me: addicted to colors. So I have a fun idea and I think you will like it; more about it soon. Meanwhile, because I love colors, I love tiny things, I love making … [Read more...]
Zippered Pouch
Today I made a zippered pouch. It looks like an ordinary pouch, but it is not. Because there is a zippered pocket inside. And it is more than a zippered pocket. It is a pocket divider. It is stitched into the bottom and side seams, dividing the lining space into 3 compartments. I want to put pocket dividers in my next bags, so I thought to try my hand first on a smaller … [Read more...]
Romantic Things
Tickets to 3 Mylene Farmer concerts- in Paris! "Sakura Park" fabric collection by Sentimental Studios for Moda.

Vintage Paper Dolls
I have a new obsession: dolls! Kokeshi dolls, Kimmi dolls, any dolls. I spent days on Internet browsing doll designs and wasn't happy with the limited doll fabrics I found. So in the future I think I will print some dolls on Spoonflower. Then I found these vintage paper dolls on Etsy - also printed on Spoonflower. I paid a small fortune for them, but I couldn't help myself! Too cute not to have … [Read more...]

Washing Fabric
I wash all my fabrics once they arrive to my home. I wash even the fat quarters or fat eights. Of course, the fabrics fray. I have a few pieces I bought from a shop in Romania (yes, I can find a few Michael Miller fabrics in Romania - www.fabrix.ro, how cool to order and have the fabric in 3 days!). They are cut from the bolt with a pinking blade. And today I noticed that they don't fray after … [Read more...]
Favorite Fabric
These are pieces from the In My Room collection by Jenean Morrison for Free Spirit Fabric. I learned about it a few weeks ago and the first day the yardage showed up in the stores I bought these pieces. There are more prints in this collection, all are beautiful. I gifted myself these pieces. I can't cut them into tiny pieces, so I will make some new bags. Someday, one of them will be … [Read more...]
