Calendar for 2014

Can you believe that there is less than a month time till Christmas and just a 33 days left till the New Year? Well, I have a new Calendar available for 2014 at Spoonflower, made to fit one fat quarter of the linen-canvas fabric-that is great surface for tea towels, bags, home decor etc....I think it would make a great Xmas present either just hemmed like that or to be made as a cushion or bag or.....any other idea?




There is still time left to order and sew something with it;)
Can't wait for mine to arrive;)

The Pumpkin season

It's a pumpkin - squash season and we are totally enjoying it....here are a few ideas!



My favourite at the moment is the squash pottage and the good thing is that kids love it too. You can always play with the fresh cream to make a neat detail and to make it more appealing to them too:)

 

And how about these easy and yummy and healthy chips?


Buon appetito,

Half square triangles quilt

 

A few weeks ago, I posted some pics of WIP of this quilt. I am very happy with the result, even that as the first time, it was the long learning process. This time I had some troubles with the batting layer as it was very thick, so it was giving me a bit of problems while quilting (cross-hatching).
All the fabrics I used are the various collections from Art Gallery fabrics and they were perfect.
I had so much fun with taking photos of the quilt and so grateful for the season's perfect ambience.





Those autumn vines were great as quilt holders - I couldn't think of the best way to have it almost flat against that beautiful old brick and plaster wall.

























Anyway, I will be glad to do the tutorial for this, so look up for it soon.
Here is the entire set on flickr with all the pics, from start to the end.
