Some Sewing for Me!

Immagine
  Good morning everybody! Today is a sunny Sunday, exactly what I needed to sneak in my garden and take nice pictures about the last thing I sew. Finally something for me and something I very much needed! The Weighted Pin Cushion with Scrap Bag by Rob Apparel ! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRQav7xc8dk It's a great tutorial! Go check it! :)   I'm very pleased I was finally able to use this fabrics I bought long time ago (so I don't even know anymore what collection is this, sorry!). I did not have enough for the inside of the bag so I used a solid. I'm also very happy I was able to use two squares of this panel I had. It's so pretty! Now I even have pins on the pincushion portion of the panel :) It fits!!   Mine is not weighted because I did not have what I needed, so I used scraps of polyester batting and used that. Then I sew some velcro and sticked the other half of it on my sewing table. For my use it's much better ...

I was in Iceland for two weeks!

Photo taken at Westman Islands I've been in Iceland for the past two weeks. Sorry for not writing as I should have done, I wanted to make a quick post thru my tablet but the trip was very demanding physically and I just couldn't focus on it :) Skogafoss This was a dream trip for my husband and for me. We love adventures and we love to hike and to explore new places. Iceland was all of this and so much more! A Glacier Lagoon We saw amazing things, we ate great food, we saw whales, puffins, thousands of birds... it was breathtaking! Skalanes This is just a quick back. In the next posts I'll tell you more about my trip and the quilting involved <3

Happy New Year! Let's hope 2018 is a good one

Solda, my second home, Christmas day. What a vacation! Happy New Year! I'm very hopeful for this 2018, so many things that I want to accomplish. Also in my quilting journey! I already wrote down a list of goals, which include starting to design my own patterns. It's something I've been thinking for months, so I'm eager to try it. Sneak Peek! This was gifted for Christmas. I am pretty sure about the first pattern I want to write. It's something simple but useful that I've already made twice as gifts. I don't even own one LOL! So next one is going to be mine. It's not something incredible or new, but I like it a lot and also I think it will help me learn to write tutorials and it will be an easy and friendly beginner pattern for everyone. No spoilers, just a sneak peek! Yay for hexagons, Katja Marek and EPP! I also really want to focus more on EPP (English Paper Piecing) because I love to sew by hand. It's also a nice wa...
