Well, it grows in the getting more finished sense, not in size.
Getting the edges sewn together and the blocks ready, makes it all so clean and ordered. Looking forward to putting the whole top together this afternoon to enjoy an even cleaner look.
Spider web blocks were expected to accumulate lots of seam allowances bulk along the seams, so I am fixing this on the way.
Will see how much fixing will help me quilt it smoothly. Hopefully it will make quilting way easier.

Just a few days before the deadline… it is about to appear.
I do like how it is going now. By this time the top is almost finished.
I am using the the very first idea, the first colours I thought about… It is a little planned, a little impulsive and looks as expected.
I am not happy, I am almost late. I hope the quilt be loved though. Doll Quilt Swap emotions!

What I was making this week, for a little lady! She is artistic, creative, a pupil… and had a birthday. So I went for a back to school theme for the present…
Pink, flowers, fuchsia and some white … my type of present recipe…
What I really loved is the fact I designed and made it from start to finisha all by myself. 100% Domoshar creation!
It turned nice and was really nice packed and decorated.
Currently in love with the project and seeing more like nit to come… What it is? I will show you soon. Hopefully with some more.

I love this little thing. Making it for a little lady was great honour. Really!
It feels sooo special to make something for a little princess.
I choose the style, draw the pattern and the pattern pieces myself, making it all starting from scratch was another great moment in the making. Little flowers for the hair… the embroidery… magic…
Felt so happy with it, I wanted one to stay on the wall permanently…
Little simple beauties! Make you feel like living in a dream…

The heat here is unprecedented… almost 35C plus too much humidity to breathe easily and today sea water temperature is above 31C… No one remembers something like this…
I am slowing down and then getting back to normal. Had a relaxing Saturday with my knits – Clapotis #1 is growing. It is the first time ever I name a knitting project “#1′ before I start the second one. There will be #2 for sure!
Knitting pure wool in this hot, hot weather felt strange at first but just normal after half an hour or so.
Hopefully back to sewing today.
Here are the latest pictures of my spring-summer experiment – started in February and Finished in July. It will be in the shop today or tomorrow.
I was so happy with process, I am already saving scrapes for the next one. The only really bad thing about this type of quilt is you really need scraps. Since I have already used most of my scraps, I have to cut uncut fabric pieces to make scrappy quilt… Not than I am not able to do it LOL.
This makes me think my studio might prove to be a quite organized one… We have a tale here about a an old man who was looking for a tidy young woman to be his daughter in law.
He sat on his cart all full with plums and shouted he was bartering plums for household waste. He than asked the girl with the hand-full of waste to marry his son. She even borrowed the waste from her neighbors as she had no at her house…
I am not at all that tidy or organized, I just use every bit of fabric I have. Love it too much to waste it. And I am now to pick an ordinary – notscrappy - project or too to make, so I can accumulate some scraps … Makes me smile as I know most people just piece, quilt and than look for a project to utilize the scraps. Well I am crazy enough to do just the opposite – need “normal” projects to make some scraps, I need…
It started few weeks ago and looks like one of the most beautiful rounds… As always!
I was quite unsure what to make, choosing design, pattern, fabrics, quilting type… whether to make it by hand, or machine piece and quilt it… All of these decisions are interesting, but I tend to be slow here. Especially if it is a swap thing. If it was for me, I would just grab the fabrics and start…
So after a month or so of falling in love with an idea and than new ideas for something quite different… I decided to give a try to something, I wished for for quite a long time – spider web. Then I saw some webs in the pool… Any way I am finally going for a spider web – the original plan. First choices usually work. Will see how it will be now… Jumping in the Doll Quilt Swap making magic now!
Here is the orange invasion in my studio… Slow but inevitable – it covered the pink…
You can see how sweet it was in the beginning and now it gets definitely orange…
This is my first big log cabin project and I love it.
This is the first round in the whole project that looks like one colour all around. It is now though.. the yellows break the orange round a bit and I like this.
One round more and the block will be all pieced and ready…
All the blocks are ready now – 9 more than the ones shown here
It is a strange summer here – not as hot as usually, but way too humid to be normal… It rains almost every day. And sometimes it is storm, not rain… like yesterday and today…huricane wind, dark sky in 6pm, water that look like a curtain….
And look what I played with today – just between two storms… Happy orange strips… for the growing log cabin quilt…
No special process thoughts here. I just followed my assistants ideas and added some yellows…
