Julia's Dream About Quilting, Sewing & Crafting

  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 ...

  Hi and welcome back! I've been away a few days and then I had some personal issues and that's why I haven't been able to open my blog earlier. I did find a lot of hours for my big hand quilting project though! No pics yet because it's a special gift. Today I found some time to organize my little sewing corner.  I sew in the kitchen, I have 5 huge plastic transparent boxes where I keep my fabrics, my batting, some interface and some supplies and a box with UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and WIPs (Work In Progress). That is a very important box to keep everything organized!   Where I used to have olive oil, seasonings and vinegar now I've found a special place for the things I use most often while sewing and quilting. In this way I have more space on the table for my sewing machine. I'm very pleased! It's so tiny but I'm incredibly happy with it! Have a nice day of Sewing :)

I do know it's May and in my city is already summer because of the hot sunny weather (except tonight, thanks rain!) but I do love Christmas a lot and I like to prepare Christmas stuff the whole year around! Plus, I feel less the heat thinking ahead of winter! :) Right now I'm working on something for me, a decoration for my house. It's going to be a wall hanging quilt, haven't decided the final measurements but I'll decide that while I'll choose the borders but I already know where I want to hang it. I just need DH to accept it because it will require the temporary movement of a frame!  I found this pic on Pinterest months ago and kept thinking about it because when I started quilting I learnt with logcabin, which by the way is always a fun block to do. It has endless possibility! Only creativity is our limit with logcabin! (Or a bad iron LOL)  The only problem is that I have no clue where this pic comes from, I usually try to save every picture in ...

Will I be able to blog?  I'm Julia, I'm 29 yrs old,  English is my second language  and this is my first serious attempt  to blog about my passion!
