Quilting done since Friday! Delivered to the 7-year little boy - he was more interested in playing with the two cats! But his mother was in love! Here is, made in 3 days and washed twice (because Alex wanted to try it too). I am in love now with simple fabrics, simple patterns and SIMPLE quilting. Straight lines done with free motion - I did not struggle to keep the lines … [Read more...]
In love with white too
Isn't white the best color? Even if you have only a few pieces cut on bias? That is why I have so narrow sashing. Very happy how it turned out... That special boy will leave the country in a few days so I would better go to quilt it! … [Read more...]
Still in love with solids
I put to good use the last pieces of my solid collection - 9" squares. I spent some time wondering which fabric would look best as background: tan, black or white.White color won. Black looks too dramatic and anyway I think it is not a proper color for a young boy. I have no idea what I am making here but it should be something beautiful because this quilt will be for a special 6 year … [Read more...]
2 in 1 quilt
So, this is my quilt of (too) many colors! You can see here 9 rows, the top has 13 rows. - 90"x90" ( what size is this ? I made it 10" wider that I planned!); - 163 blocks; - It was a challenge to make it! All the steps in making this pattern are time consuming and cutting the triangles from strips and pressing are the most annoying ones. I pieced the top in vertical rows … [Read more...]
Making progress on a new quilt
Do you remember that I am working on a quilt with many colors? I am using all the colors from three Kona cotton jelly rolls. This will be indeed a very colorful quilt- I need many blocks so I had to use even brown, gray, tan and all these neutral colors that I am not too fond of. This is probably the less urgent project I have to make in the next month but I have a thought that … [Read more...]
Jewel Box Quilt Finished
I am so happy I finished an UFO. Many others are still waiting.... The quilting ? Nothing fancy - quick and simple. I made it for my mother. She already saw it (and she loves it) but she thinks it is mine. I still have to add the binding then I will lay it on her bed and I will be prepared to listen that she loves it very much but she really, really doesn't need a new quilt. But … [Read more...]
Quilt Top Finished
Here is the top of my new quilt. I would have loved to add some pieced borders (because it is a little shorter) but I ran out of tan fabric. I was a little nervous while I pieced the blocks because I did not know how all these colors work together but I think the tan fabric tie them wonderfully! I love it ! Sure I would have loved it even more with white fabric instead of tan. But I … [Read more...]

Looking forward to a productive sewing week
Am I crazy or am I crazy? About green... Alex found my green fingernails very interesting and all the time he wanted to eat them. My sister just called me to say he ate cherries and it shows very well on the little castles quilt.Hopefully the stains will disappear after washing. If not, we can say that was a loved and used quilt. Tomorrow I will start to sew again on my noisy sewing … [Read more...]
Rows of Hexy Flowers
Two rows almost finished - I still have to add two flowers.A very good news- we need 60 flowers and we already have 42! We hope we will finish it by Christmas. My mother has no idea what surprise we prepare for her. She is always amazed by the patience we have to stitch the flowers (like we did not inherit it from her!).A little too colorful for my taste, but my mother loves it! Assembling the … [Read more...]
