pillow
New pillow…
It has been sitting on my desk waiting… first for backing (I ended piecing some leftovers because I was lazy to go shopping for more fabrics)… then for a pillow insert (it measures just a bit bigger than another pillow I made but the insert was just too small; couldn’t figure that one out). Finally… [...]

How exciting is this? The Kris Kros pillow: Has made it to Sew, Mama, Sew! blog as a pillow of the day for Feb 24. Makes me very happy! Thank you all for your comments and nice words!
grid pillow
As I mentioned in the previous post, as of recently, I have developed a “thing” for vintage sheets. I like the colorful ones that I have seen around the blogosphere – those being used in quilts, aprons, skirts, little girl dresses… but I am also drawn to those with small flowers on white background.

Plo Pillow
I am calling this one Plo Pillow. This is all I could come up. And I am sticking to it. So here it is: I used 13 different floral fabrics, one of which is vintage french linen (only one square) recently bought at a thrift store. Squares are about 3 in square (I say ‘about’ [...]

I have not had a chance to get into my sewing room for almost two weeks. This is almost finished – two more patches, already [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
pink quilt done
but you won;t be able to tell. I just finished it a few minutes ago and scheduled the photo session for tomorrow. This is a picture from earlier today. I decided to do straight line quilting – it’s a little questionable whether they are straight or not – about an inch apart. When I took [...]
