patchwork

This is the quilt I received. It is made by dearfii.

I had no chance to make a picture right after opening the envelope in the evening - a nice and colourful envelope…. and was too busy to post the pictures. It was a really hectic week so I sent the “thank you” e-mail only and quick blog entry of excitement - it took it only 5 days to arrive this time.

Fi also sent me some extras - buttons, a fabric piece and a felt apple  and a scotch tape with cars - it was the first car stamped one here. My kid like it a lot! Thank Fi! Read the rest of this entry »

I was looking for a wedding gift idea for dear friends’ wedding, when I saw RhubarbPatch’s entry for the Doll Quilt Swap 4.

I liked it soo much I had to make one.

I did so, but since it is a wedding quilt and it is quite big, I had enough blank space to place some wishes to the couple on it.

Thank you RhubarbPatch, for being my inspiration!

I was looking for something special for a special couple and I found it. Thanks to you!

They are happy, so am I! God bless them!

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).

The top was pieced shortly after I posted here that the design was finally chosen.

I had some photo problems however, so I was not able to post it earlier. The photo shows the top almost done. This is the top before trimming the white border and adding an outer cream border.

It will be free motion quilted and I think of binding it in either pink or green, but it way may add a kind of candy look, so I have not decided yet.

It is quite simple, but I do hope my partner will like it.

I do enjoy making baby quilts.
Especially if it is a newborn baby gift.

This is the latest one - made for a small boy.

It was an order from a lady that found my web site and needed a quick and touching baby gift. I had a week to complete it and send it to her. It was quite a pressure along the other projects, but it was a baby quilt so it was also great pleasure for me to make it, pack it and send it.

I just added these bright kitchen acsesories in the boutique

Each is a pot holder measuring approx. 8″ x 8″, which also looks very nice under a big mug filled with hot tea, chocolate or soup /while protecting the table from the heat/.

You can find them in the boutique already, but they will be available from tomorrow /June 16th/.
