fabrics
and now for something completely different: field work pillow
Just a sneak peek of what I have sitting on my sewing desk since before Thanksgiving. A new pillow inspired by some aerial photography and fabulous work by Victoria Gertenbach. I have not had a chance to get into my sewing room for almost two weeks. This is almost finished – two more patches, already [...]
spiro quilt – finished
Yes, it is finished! The quilt was waiting for binding for a few days, but today I found some time and here it is. I would have liked to put darker binding, maybe something with black… but all my black fabrics is in little scraps, definitely not enough for binding. I am quite pleased how [...]
spiro quilt – progress
I usually don’t get any sewing done over the weekend. It’s all about family… But I did make a lot of progress on Friday: Sandwich was made. I decided against piecing the back, piecing of all these blocks took long enough. And I was just eager to see this one finished. So, I used pink/white [...]
spiro quilt – sneak peak #2
All the squares are done, pressed and trimmed to their attended sizes: 18 squares 7.5 x 7.5 in and 18 6.5 x 6.5 in. The plan for tonight is to put them up on the design wall, arrange; maybe finish the top? That would be great…
spiro quilt – sneak peak
Yes, I am quilting again. There was almost 2 months of almost no sewing!!! I say almost, because I did finish two pillows, but there was about 4 – 5 weeks that I did not… could not sit at my desk because of the pain in my shoulder. But, I have recovered, reorganized my sewing [...]
some halloween sewing
I don’t really go crazy about Halloween. I do it for the kids. I don’t dress up. I don’t do Halloween sewing. And I don’t keep it a secret (actually I am not crazy about holidays in general but that’s a whole different post). This year however… no I did not dress up… I did [...]
new pillows and some homemade fabric
This pillow top has been hanging on my design wall for over a month, waiting to be finished. This finally happened over the weekend: I like my quilted pillow with a border, but with this one, I felt it was too busy for a border. It is about 18″ square, envelope back in the same [...]
new fabrics
I haven’t done this in a long time, but here are some new fabrics I got yesterday at Michael Miller store at the Fashion District in downtown LA: The dotty one is Brandon Mably for Rowan, and the other two are Joel Dewberry.
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 [...]
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 [...]
