Roma Quilt – finished
December 21, 2012
It’s finished! I won;t say much about it, just show you a bunch of pictures. See previous post for some details. I really had fun making this one, challenging myself with selecting all print fabrics (“Look ma! No white!”). And I really like the outcome. Maybe I should make the next year – “no white … More Roma Quilt – finished
Roma Quilt – a post that was supposed to have been written a few weeks ago
December 21, 2012
I don’t know about the grammatical correctness of the title, but you know what I mean, no? I had this top sitting on my desk (or somewhere it, at that time, really messy sewing room) for a while now, waiting, just waiting. I didn’t have any batting, and I had too many ideas in my … More Roma Quilt – a post that was supposed to have been written a few weeks ago
Korsa Pillow – finished
December 18, 2012
Finished on Friday but didn;t have a chance to photograph it. The light was crappy today too, actually light is crappy most of the time in our old house with small windows, but that’t why photo editing was invented, no? This one is for a teacher too – all 4 teachers are getting pillows this … More Korsa Pillow – finished
Dupioni Silk Pillow finished
December 9, 2012
First pillow to be gifted this Christmas is finished. I had this piece of dupioni silk for a long time, I picked it up at a sale somewhere. It was finished all around – serged, so it might have been one of those decorator fabric samples…. who knows. It was big enough to fussy-cut the … More Dupioni Silk Pillow finished
Baby Quilt #1 – finished plus a short review of the new sewing machine
December 6, 2012
I sat and I sat, thinking what should I name this little quilt. And nothing came to mind. So it’s Baby Quilt #1 (it will soon be clear why #1, hold on). It was inspired by this Low Volume Quilt from Red Pepper Quilts. Rita always had the most beautiful fabrics so this quilt doesn’t … More Baby Quilt #1 – finished plus a short review of the new sewing machine

Chiara Quilt
November 28, 2012
I have been away for a while, from here as well as the other blog. But that does not mean I have not been making stuff. Actually I have been very busy. And I have a stack of quilt tops and unfinished cushions and pillows to prove it. But instead of showing you all of … More Chiara Quilt
chevron pillowcase #2
June 17, 2012
Using the method from the previous post, and these fabrics: I made this pillowcase – well, this is the top, it’s not been sandwiched or quilted yet. I used 9×4 rectangles. That’s just what fit the final dimensions needed for the pillowcase. Remember, with the method I described (as with the half square triangles) you … More chevron pillowcase #2
pillowcase #1 finished
June 6, 2012
All finished. Not much to say about it. You saw the top in the previous post. I quilted it along the chevron lines and across on the sides of chevrons. I usually end up quilting more densely than I plan, but I like it that way. I used one of the striped sheets for the … More pillowcase #1 finished
