fabrics
stripey finished
Yep! Finished. The idea came from one of the kaffe fasset’s books – a little all-blue quilt made of shirting fabrics. I did not have as many blue striped fabrics, but I had plenty of striped fabrics in variety of colors.
This one took longer than I expected. First of all – it took longer to [...]
a new block
I was tired of quilting yesterday and had to take a break. But I could do some cutting and a little bit of sewing so here it is – a new block:
I drew this one some time ago, and it’s interesting how it looks different all sewn up. When I sketched it (actually it was [...]
red quilt finally finished
I don’t know what to call this quilt – but it’s done. I started working on it early August, and it did take some time to have it quilted – mostly because the blocks were hanging on the wall while I was trying to figure out whether the whole thing will work or not. Then [...]
2 dresses
The other day I spent half a day walking around Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade and the brand new Santa Monica Place mall looking for a dress, a dress for a wedding we are going to in a couple of weeks. I even went to a department store (and i dislike them with passion)! Bloomingdales [...]
another pink quilt – finished
Remember the First Pink Quilt? As I mentioned, I cut enough squares for a bigger project, then I quickly scaled down, but did not want to just forget about the leftover squares (and stripes of white fabric)… so I used up the squares to make Another Pink Quilt:
For this one I had no design in [...]
spring quilt – finished
yes… final stitches were sewn last night, this morning photo shoot, and…. here it is, in all it’s glory (before wash):
A few notes about the quilt:
1. Never, ever again do calculation while watching Arrested Development or any other similar show.My ‘geese’ were supposed to fly North, but instead, now are flying West. I like it [...]
I call this one – spring quilt
A couple of days ago I selected some fabrics for a new quilt (the last one is awaiting biding). At this point I did not know what I wanted to do, but these are the fabrics I liked:
Some of the fabrics are from a charm pack I bought some time ago, others are from my [...]
only blue quilt – sneak peak
I have been cutting and sewing like mad for a past few days. I am completely consumed by it right now. So, here is another sneak peak of another quilt top I finished yesterday. The quilt sandwich is done too. As soon as I am done writing this I am going to start quilting it. [...]
sneak peak – new pink quilt
Well, I decided to go ahead and use the leftover squares from the Pink Quilt. Without any particular design in mind I just decided to try to do the hour-glass squares. It was more for practice to see if I can do better matching up corners. When I had all the squares done, I decided [...]
finished projects – pictures
June Gloom is now officially July Gloom. The light is really crappy, so pictures are so-so, but here they are:
The pillow is finished. It measures about 14×14 in, and of course, all my pillow inserts are either smaller or way bigger. So only a “flat” picture. The linen I used is not really great for [...]
