MESSENGER BAG

Hi dear friends,

in May I will travel to Switzerland to see my children and grandchildren. So I'm quite busy sewing. I made two baby quilts for my new grandchildren (one is already in the quilting process, the second one has to be sandwiched). But what I finished first is a messenger bag for me. 

Done out of a lovely alcantara fabric bought some years ago.

Next I'll finish quilting the first baby quilt. Pictures are coming very soon. 

Have a nice week. Hughs.

Drunkard's Path almost done

Hi friends,

and here is my Drunkard's Path table runner sewn together! I really love it, despite the fact that almost all circles don't match perfectly. I will probably hand quilt it.

It was fun and quick sewing all the circles. This tutorial was a great help. Sooo incredibly easy and fast. 
Thanks for visiting. Hugs.

ANOTHER NEW PROJECT

HI DEAR FRIENDS,

TODAY I'LL SHOW YOU MY SECOND NEW PROJECT FOR THIS YEAR. IT CAME TO ME BY CHANCE WITH AN EMAIL THIS MORNING. I GOT IT FROM QUILT AROUND THE WORLD WITH A FANTASTIC PROJECT AND THE IDEA STARTED TAKING SHAPE VERY FAST.

I DECIDED TO PARTICIPATE AND CREATE A 9" BLOCK ABOUT THE 9 AZOREAN ISLANDS, THE ARCHIPELAGO WHERE I HAPPILY LIVE. EACH ISLAND HAS A COLOR GIVEN TO IT FROM A SPECIFIC CARACTER.

THE ARCHIPELAGO IS DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS:

- EASTERN GROUP WITH SAO MIGUEL AND SANTA MARIA

- CENTRAL GROUP WITH TERCEIRA, GRACIOSA, SAO JORGE, PICO AND FAIAL

- WESTERN GROUP WITH FLORES AND CORVO

THIS ARE THE COLORS FOR EACH ISLAND:

- SANTA MARIA - YELLOW - DUE TO THE BROOM FLOWERING THERE

- SAO MIGUEL - GREEN - DUE TO THE FIELDS AND WOODS

- TERCEIRA - PURPLE - DUE TO THE WISTERIA AND LILAC TRELLIS

- GRACIOSA - WHITE - DUE TO THE WHITE STONES

- SAO JORGE - BROWN - DUE TO THE ROCKS AT PONTA DOS ROSAIS

- PICO - GREY - DUE TO THE MOUNTAIN

- FAIAL - BLUE - DUE TO THE BLUE HYDRANGEAS

- FLORES - PINK - DUE TO THE AZALEAS

- CORVO - BLACK - DUE TO THE LAVA AND THE DRY WALLS DIVIDING THE FIELDS

AFTER ALL THIS INFORMATIONS HERE IS THE LAYOUT:

NOW I JUST HAVE TO APPLIQUÉ THE CIRCLES AND SEW THE SQUARES TOGETHER. SOON THE FINISHED PIECE WILL BE SHOWN.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING AND HAPPY WEEK-END.

HUGS.
