I continued to work on the chevron patterned pillowcase from the previous post, and I wanted to show you a couple of progress pictures. First, piecing… It is quite simple: I sewed half chevrons row by row. See the first row on the top? I sewed 1.5 in strip between each half chevron and then … More pillowcase #1
I have an excuse for not doing what I am supposed to do and playing with fabrics. I have some weird cold with some awful weird cough which is so so during the day, but keeps me up at night so I am really tired. This… this is easy and relaxing. So what was I … More triangles -> diamonds -> chevron

This is what I would like to do with that block I mentioned in an earlier post. But no time right now. Bummer.
I am very busy with my other project, so I will very briefly show you a new block I made over the weekend. Recently I made a quilt where eaxc hexagon was made of out half rectangles. Then I made a mini using a slashing technique. Here I basically combine the two… I stated with … More more hexagons

And my kids already wanted to cuddle up with it. Nice. I quilted this one pretty densely, free motion, your basic … More Tolva quilt – finished!!!
Do you remember this quilt I finished recently? I just learned from a commenter to my post that the striped block is called the Bright Hopes block. Well, if I had know that, it would have been much easier. I saw a vintage Vera shawl with this design, and then tried to figure out how … More dash-dot quilt block tutorial
I just realized I did not take a picture of the finished top. This is as close as I got when I took this picture. Close enough. And today I basted it. And started quilting. I am doing free motion, just your basic random swirls. I am quilting it quite dense, because I think this … More Tolva quilt:: basted
Just briefly… I finished the last four hexagons today. And then I worked, and worked, and worked… on the layout. After a few iterations, here is the final layout: I probably should have taken one in focus. Oh, well…
