A new block

I tried today a new funny block. I saw it some time ago on a blog (sorry I really don't remember where) but you just can consider it an evolution of the asterisk block of which find a good tut here or here

As usually no a definite project for this block but only the fun to experiment something new !

How many thimbles?

How many thimbles do you use for hand quilt?...usually I used just one...

...then I took hand quilting class last Sunday, and suddenly the numbers of the thimbles increased.

Left hand...two

Right hand...two

Can I do a bad work with all this thimbles?

...this is just a joke....the technique isn't easy... but if you really want to see a wonderful hand quilting example , please , have a look to the Sara (the teacher) blog....is a joy for the eyes!

About MY hand quilting...I will show it after doing more practice...

A new cover

A new cover for my sewing machine...

...same model but with a new friend !

Easy Hexies

I was looking for an easy way to adjust the colorful hexies rosettes I made last winter.

I have started to make them without a project in mind , just followed the fun of the colors and the shape...but now I want to keep them out of the box where they were waiting for me...

Looking through the wonderful hexies book of my friend Hilde I have had the idea to place every one on a same color tone background block and then to arrange them in a rainbow colors quilt.

Do you like the project?
