Making up

Media_httpdomosharcom_glcjo
A post to make up for the things I have posted in Bulgarian only in the last couple of weeks. And mainly explanation of the pictures posted along with Bulgarian text previously. As weather got cooler, I started baking again. I missed this during the hot, hot summer weeks... Making bread is a colder part of the year ritual here. It feels the air with the most comforting domesticity spirit you can get. Especially for some flour and baking... I usually rotate 3 main recipes but the cold weather made me stick to the cheese and oil one mostly. Delicious! I also played with binding - lovely experience and great time spent among the colourful scraps and FQ piles... Sewing for Christmas - potholders, bread baskets and such...

I made some other little projects in the meantime. December was a really busy month and I had some things to deal with, so making a full-size quilt did not happen this month. I took part in a charity event - making a quilt to be sold at a market. And was left with a test star in a difficult, old-fashioned style. It became a little table topper. Waiting for binding now. And it was planned to be a pillow... Well, as usually patches and tops have a live of their own and opinion what to be made out of them too. LOL Regarding the process, one had an opinion of its own on quilting too.

It did insist to be quilted in the cabbage style. I know it is called feathers, but believe me it feels like cabbage. And I know its due to my lack of serious feathers experience lately... I was about to choose a modern style quilting, but feathers happened... Happy I did not allow it to become an UFO. Found a couple of UFOs this week and decided to make them quilts in January. First New Year resolutions this December!

Table Runner

This is something I made just before finishing my Doll Quilt Swap quilt. It was a present for a special family friend. I have made several of this table runners and I love the way this simple pattern turns into a soft crinkled beauty. I like simple designs, not too complicated or ornamental. The centre of this one is ornamental actually, but in a very soft way as it is only light and shadow, crinkles and puckering that create the ornament. Well, I think I will make more of these pretty soon. I really love the soft effect of ecru and fresh airy solids with traditional quilting motive. It seems I am in a soft colours period now. I will show you the wedding quilt I made in August. Soft colours...well, not exactly this kind of softness. This table runner can be ordered in the Boutique (plus an option for custom colours).
