My name is Barbora I am originally from Prague, Czech Republic. I grew up in Moshi, Tanzania and my other stations were Germany and United Kingdom. Since 2000 I live near Alicante in Spain on the wonderful Costa Blanca together with my husband Helmut, a dog and a cat.
When I was a girl my Mother taught me how to sew. In the years of my professional life I did not have enough time for this hobby. A few years ago I found a place offering patchwork classes and I decided it was time to get out the sewing machine and get it working.
My grandfather Vaclav Tikal was a painter and he loved working with colours. This could be the reason I like working with colours. My love of fabrics and sewing lead inevitably to patchwork and quilting.
So here I am : learning by doing and I am enjoying it !! It is never too late to start learning something new !!
Each and every piece is handmade and one of a kind – so originality is guaranteed.
Looking for a unique gift? Interested in a custom-made baby blanket, quilt, pillow cover, place mat … ?
Fancy a design – but not the color scheme? Need a different size? If yes, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I value your comments and would love to hear from you ……………

Hi Avis,
thanks for the nomination. I think I have to do some more posting and get more routine in my writing before I can accept a nomination.
