Kaye of Miss Print

I got my latest Wonderland collection just in time for sewing the Welded blocks and I decided to challenge myself and instead of making a quilt, I made a dress and LOLA drawstring bag packs using the blocks from the pattern.







For the dress, I used the bodice pieces from my Bianka dress pattern and just added the skirt part, where I incorporated the blocks. I love how it turned out!





I loved seeing all the different fabric interpretations of this versatile pattern and hope that they will inspire you too to create something with the Welded blocks!!!

Skopelos vacation 2015

We spent 2 amazing weeks in Skopelos island, 4th year in a row. It's our happy place and we are so grateful for everything this island gave us. For me it's an amazing source of inspiration and sort of serendipity that warms my heart. The views, the sounds, the smells.......and especially the shapes, the textures and the colors......a place that warms all your senses.



You can find so many Skopelos pics in my blog already, but here a few new ones, that are very special to me, especially those that involve some Skopelos fabrics. As you maybe already know, this island inspired my Skopelos collection and I was so proud and happy to make some shoots of the Skopelos fabrics in Skopelos island.































Full circle of happiness :D

This is the amazing ruler that was used for the pattern, by Creative grids and you can get it in Fat quarter shop as well!


I am loving so much the amazing quilt that AGF have designed for this feature



Fractal quilt pattern is featuring my latest fabric collection, Imprint, and I feel very flattered and happy for this amazing feature.
This quilt is very geometric, modern and very versatile!
I loved seeing all the different fabric interpretations of this versatile pattern and hope that they will inspire you too to create your own version!!!









As you can notice, I created the pillows with the blocks, instead of creating the quilt, and I loved them a lot!!!



I had a lot of fun taking pictures of it with my little asisstant...and here are 2 bloopers pics just for fun!





I am planing to create some more using pink and blue colorways from Imprint too ;)
