Here in Romania we are happy with simple things, like the possibility to buy ric-rac from our shops :) I made a few flowers, then a few little purses. I combined the flowers made using the tutorial from Betz White with yo-yos, I added piping, and I made plaited handles for the first time : It was fun to make them ! My sister Oana saw them and said : "I want to be a little girl … [Read more...]
Quick and easy strip quilt- Tutorial
I made this quilt for my mother's birthday. It took me just 4 days to piece it and quilt it. This is an easy project for a beginner quilter and a very quick quilt for a skilled one. I made the sketch using Electric Quilt. I love Electric Quilt. You can scan your fabric, import them in the program and see how your quilt will look like even before you cut a single piece of fabric. Quilt … [Read more...]
I did finish with the bowls
These are the last ones, I think. Shadow trapunto looks gorgeous on these bowls, but they require a lot of work... On this pink bowl I made a lot of mistakes, finally it looks good and I like the double-stitched bottom.Cutting the slits: A flat or a deep bowl ? It depends of how large you cut the slits and how large the bottom will be. And a few "kaleidoscope bowls".They don't need to be filled: … [Read more...]

A different bowl
I finished it yesterday and I love it ! I made it in a different way than the one posted in this tutorial. I love the wavy edges.Because I made it with a large bottom, it looks rather like a deep plate than a bowl. Of course, it's totally useful: too pretty to be filled ! L-am terminat ieri si ce-mi place ! L-am facut in alt mod decat cel din acest tutorial. Imi plac marginile valurite. … [Read more...]

Trapunto pillows
Back to my first love: trapunto.I love to make trapunto on shinning fabrics (like this taffeta). The motifs are emphasized by the shine of the fabric and I don't need to use thick batting.This is not "the surprise' from the previous post ! Coming soon ! … [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...]
A quilt for my mother
Today we have celebrated the birthday of my mother.I made for her this quilt. Because we live in the same house, I could not hide the quilt from her. She saw the quilt as I worked on it, but I told her it is for the mother of a friend.Astazi am sarbatorit ziua de nastere a mamei.Am facut pentru ea acest quilt. Cum locuim in aceeasi casa, n-am putut sa ascund quiltul de ea. L-a vazut in timp ce … [Read more...]
Pretty little things
A few days ago I discovered Arlette's blog, full of great tutorials (thank you, Arlette !) and lovely fabric flowers and yo-yos. Very inspired by her work, I started making these:Acum cateva zile am descoperit blogul Arlettei, plin cu tutoriale bune, yo-yo si flori din textile.Inspirata de munca ei, m-am apucat sa fac aceste flori:Can you belive that in 8 years of making quilts, this is the first … [Read more...]
