BLOGGER'S QUILT FESTIVAL SPRING 2015

Dear friends,

once again it's Blogger's Quilt Festival again!!! And this year I'm very late, last minute. I've been visiting my sons and grandchildren in Switzerland and came back yesterday night. But I really wanted to participate this year because I have a quilt that I really love to present you.

I did it for my DH for a Christmas present and named it CAPPUCCINO. Here it is. 

I used scraps of fabric in neutral colors and added some glamour with a gold shiny fabric. The squares are 12". I quilted it by hand in circles starting in the center and going on with bigger and bigger circles.

 Don't forget to visit all the fabulous quilts presented at the Blogger's Quilt Festival.

Have fun. Hugs.

Blogger's Quilt Festival Fall 2012

Hi dear friends,

it's Blogger's Quilt Festival again!!! I'm very excited and will take the time to visit all the wonderful entries.

My quilt for this year's edition is a mini quilt I have made for one of my guest houses.

It was my first wonky quilt and it was quite difficult for me to get out of my confort zone. It's a simple wonky log cabin, four different squares, joined without any sashing. I used Amy Butler fabrics.

I handquilted it with a free wavy pattern, in two different colors.

I enjoyed it very much, it was a fun and fast quilt to finish.

Quilt stats:

Dimensions: 27 1/2” x 27 1/2”

Designed, pieced and handquilted by: me

Best categories: Mini quilt, handquilted

Please visit and enjoy all the fabulous entries at Amy's Creative Site.

Have a nice Sunday. Hugs.

BLOGGERS' QUILT FESTIVAL SPRING 2012

Dear friends,

I nearly missed the Spring editions of the Bloggers' Quilt Festival organized by Amy's Creative Side!!!

This time I want to show my second One block wonder quilt. This kind of quilt is so fun to sew...and I tried it with smaller hexagons, they are just 4 1/2". I used 100 of them. I think I pinned it and took it down from my design wall about 5 times before I was happy with the result...But finally here it is. I quilted it by hand. 

Some details

This is the original fabric.

Don't forget to take a look at all the fabulous entries. Here the link to Amy's Creative Side

Have fun and a very good week. Hugs. Pink

BLOGGERS QUILT FESTIVAL

Hi friends!

It's Blogger Quilt Festival again and this time I finally finished my Dear Jane to enter!!:):)

Here the story: on a sunny Summer afternoon in 2009 I met with some quilting friends and one of them had the Dear Jane book. I had already seen this quilt and always thought it was crazy! We started looking at the book and no one was sewing that afternoon, we were to fascinated from all those beautiful little blocks. Fascinated and scared...Back home I started searching more informations about it...and looking, looking I decided to assume the challenge! Ordered the book and fabrics and started my DJ journey. And here is the final result!!!
