easy weekend

This weekend is entirely to relax. I sorted out photos on my computer and decided which of them are worth keeping. I have also found the graffiti ones I was looking for some time:

Next week is patchwork and quilting week! Thanks for stopping, Barbora

photo post for a change

Instead of writing a new post about my patchwork and quilting adventures, I decided to upload some photos I have taken over the past few days.

Impressions of a foggy morning when walking the dog:

Spiders webs are waiting early in the morning for the sun to dry the dew drops :

fire & ice quilt finished

It’s done : Fire & Ice quilt is finally finished! I have “cheated” a bit with the quilting. The last few quilts were in free-motion technique. So this time I decided to work with the walking foot. The wave or serpentine is a standard stitch on the Bernina 440. Never tried before, but I have seen some quilts with this finishing and I thought this would break the strict geometrical pattern.

The finished size is 60″ x 84″. I just love the blue tulips backing fabric from Fabric Freedom.

Happy quilting, Barbora
