Adventale ribbons collection with Renaissance ribbons

I am thrilled to introduce a brand-new extension of the Adventale world: the Adventale Ribbon Collection licensed with the Renaissance ribbons.

This beautifully curated line of ribbons brings the soft, wintry essence of Adventale to a new medium—perfect for adding a heartfelt, handcrafted touch to gift wrapping, sewing projects, journaling, and more.

Designed with the same attention to detail and aesthetic as the Adventale fabric collection, each ribbon carries the warmth, nostalgia, and storybook charm you've come to love.

🌿 Available June 2025

🎁 Ideal for makers, crafters, and gift-givers
💌 Limited release—once it’s gone, it’s gone

Designing it was such a joy, and using it on my first project (a little pouch!) truly felt like a dream come true.

I loved the idea of using these ribbons as the central accent of the pouch (it's a free video tutorial)

But they came handy to be used for/as handle, tabs and ribbon-sliders.

I can’t wait to see how you use these delicate designs to embellish your projects and wrap your world in the magic of Adventale.

Botanist fabric collection

 

Wander through enchanted woodlands and blossoming meadows inspired by the beauty of nature. Revel in lush textured shades of spruce green, blushing pinks, misty grays and rich umbers. These playful botanicals and leafy foliage will transport you to an idyllic paradise. 

Botanist fabric collection for AGF is already available in stores and I am so excited to start sewing with it. When I receive new fabrics, I am always eager to photograph them nicely before cutting. I tried to add a bit of texture illusion to some of them and I hope that these pics can show that aspect too.

I just love these subtle and subdued colors and tones that just nicely goes with this autumnish collection.

I especially love the combination of the spruce greens with light dusty pinks!

And in case you are interested in matching Pure solids, here's my list, and a photo;)

I hope that these fabrics will inspire you to create, I certainly can't wait to show you my projects!

Zellige quilt pattern

 It's zellige quilt pattern release day and I can't be more excited to show you something that I was working on for the past three mon

Zellige quilt pattern is constructed with traditional flying geese (FG) quilt blocks, half square triangles (HSTs) and simple squares with aim to obtain nice colorful interplay and lovely sawtooth star shapes. My inspiration for this quilt pattern was Mediterranean widely famous Moorish, Zellige tiles.

With my Capri collection in mind, this geometrical interplay and pattern design seamed like a great match.

Here is the original picture that served as inspiration for the quilt construction. It's fun to see how some ideas are born! 

This quilt pattern comes in different sizes :

- pillow front - two variations: 24.5” x 24.5” 

- table runner: 24.5” x 72.5”

- baby: 40.5” x 40.5”

- throw: 72.5” x 88.5” 

- bed: 88.5” x 104.5” 

But the combinations are limitless, so using just pillow fronts and connecting blocks, you can obtain different layouts and unique lap size quilts. 

 

It's always fun to see the process, but the best part is to see the final quilt. Another amazing part of the process is to have a good company to share the ideas, progress, suggestions and more! Again this time I had a group of amazing ladies willing to help me testing and improving this quilt pattern and I can't be more helpful for their support. And finally to show you their testing quilt versions - they did such an amazing job!

Becky @keepmeinstitches created the unique lap size quilt using variation of AGF blenders and my fabrics from various collection: Avantgarde, Esoterra and Skopelos.

Barbara @missdaisy7 combined different AGF prints and centers from my Mothers garden print ( Lavish collection) to create her unique lap size quilt

Lynne  @tinkingalong used various AGF prints to make the unique lap size quilt

Sue @vinyardquilts made the throw quilt top in AGF solids

Amanda @marmanda created the throw quilt using Maureen Cracknell's Gloria fabrics

Jennifer @jeifner  made Zellige baby quilt top tonal version in AGF solids

Lori @thegreyfinchcompany made the baby size quilt using mostly Bonnie Christine's fabrics

Becky @countrychickfabrics created the baby size quilt in different AGF prints

Aurora @auroraa1714 made the pillow featuring my Boscage fabrics

Robbin @sewfarmquilter made 2 pillow fronts (one in each variation available from the pattern)

I just love seeing different variations and different options and I hope that you feel inspired to create your version or simply recreate one of the variations shown.

Thank you again so much to my pattern testers,

Podcast guest on "While she naps"

A few weeks ago, I had a great pleasure being Abby's guest, on her While she naps podcast.
If you might be interested to hear more about how I became fabric designer and more about my life in general, just tune in! You also, might be surprised with how many times I said "you know", and "actually", but I suppose it's ok when you are speaking foreign language.
Huge thanks to Abby Glassenberg for having me-I really enjoyed!!!
