But now he is better.Thank you all for the messages you left on my last post. It was nice to learn more about some of you and your quilting beginnings. It's incredible how a chance influences our lives...Only today I managed to take more pictures to my latest quilt … [Read more...]

Quilt top finished
I am happy and excited…I finished the quilt top I started a few days ago. It wasn’t too hard to make it…though I said it’s so hard to piece diamonds and stitch Y seams ! It’s hard only in my head !Yesterday I wasn’t in a good mood and in the morning I intended just to sew a few stitches on this quilt and then I thought that I will work on other projects. I though that I will put it aside and I … [Read more...]
Swatches…
Could anyone resist to these colors? I have a small piece of every color ! The owner of a shop (in my town) that sells fabrics for interior decorating gave me (for free) a few boxes filled with swatches like these, after I explained her what is patchwork. Most of them are polyester fabrics and I can’t use them for quilts. But they are wonderful for bags. Most of the pieces measure about 8”-10” … [Read more...]
The last miniature bag
I was so glad to see you like my miniature bags ! Thank you all for the nice messages! I had no intention to make another one ! But looking at my collection I noticed that only Amelie has tiny sisters and Belle doesn't have any. So that I had to make a mini-Belle bag. I used ric-rac for outlining the pockets and for straps... I stitched the ric-rac by hand and of course, it is not … [Read more...]

Miniature bags (or…I lost my mind !)
I was serious when I said I would like a collection of miniature bags. Last evening at 8 PM, after a full day of quilting, I started to make other two miniatures. The smallest is 25% from my original Amelie bag. I love them but it wasn't piece of cake to make them....If I would have had a miniature sewing machine, a miniature iron, even miniature hands... I used ribbon for … [Read more...]
New portfolios
I followed my own tutorial (how glad I am that I wrote it!) and I made two new portfolios. These are improved versions ! They are stiffer...much more stiffer than the original version. Instead of quilting weight fabric I used heavyweight cotton. And instead of batting, between the two layers of fabric I used for one of the portfolios Timtex interfacing, and for the other I used … [Read more...]
