a week with pillows

Feb9

The last I was busy sewing different pillow covers – for a client, for my Mum and finishing the two swoon blocks also into a pillow cover. I decided for straight line quilting with the walking foot. Here the blue swoon :

It was pleasure making these blocks. Maybe one day I shall make a full size quilt.

Anyway, there was some more work for me : Mary asked me to help her finish the Star Gaze quilt. And so I did it, here is the quilt.

I have new projects on the way, more next time. Happy sewing, Barbora

ordered on 2012, made in 2013 – lollipop II quilt

Feb1

My first “big” quilt of 2013 is finished. It is a custom order from a client in Germany that liked my original Lollipop quilt, but wanted it wee bit larger and in orange/purple hues. I have suggested to use fabrics from the Notting Hill collection by Joel Dewberry in magenta. Wonderful fabrics and the colors are just fantastic. Size : 153 x 213 cm / 60″ x 94″.

This time it was straight line quilting in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions using the walking foot. A nice to change to free-motion quilting.

The backing and binding are finished using in the same orange fabric.

I have made 2 blocks from the Swoon pattern. They will make a cushion cover for my Mum.

Looking forward to the weekend – lots of time to sit at the sewing machine !

Happy sewing, Barbora

star gaze quilt finished

Oct14

After all I have finished my last quilt project (not that there are no UFOs in the closet, a few of them is still waiting in the queue to get finished).

I designed this pattern for my patchwork classes as the ladies wanted to make a single bed quilt. An ideal beginner pattern : just 2 different blocks, accuracy in cutting and piecing the right colors together. I have enjoyed working on this quilt.
