Fall Blogger's Quilt Festival

Blogger's Quilt Festival Fall edition is here!

 

The Butterfy quilt is the my best finish for the 2012

It's made with 143 butterfly blocks and 33 little things adorn the outer border.

 

 

I love the colors of this quilt but much more the mood...

fresh and not conventional.

 

 

A special THANKS to my lovely friend Claudia for the help with the appliquè designes.

 

 

And again THANKS to Amy to organizing the Festival

and to all of you to enjoy it and to share your wonderful quilts! 

My Blogger's (not again a)Quilt Festival

I know, I know the saying..."it isn't a quilt until it's quilted"... 

...and so, okay,...I haven't a  finished quilt for the Blogger's Festival Spring edition...

...do you forgive me if I show you just a top?

This is my first project using only solid colors and I have loved to make it!

I have taken inspiration from a quilt I saw on a Quiltmania magazine but I have changed the roof and rearranged all the measures of the blocks and I have proposed it as a monthly project (BOM) into a quilts shop where I teach .  

So this is just the sampler... and I'm so curious to see how all the quilts (now again in progress) will turn out.

   

This is the block I prefer..a little (five inches) , bright, full solid colors pineapple!

And , as every year, many THANKS to Amy for organizing this wonderful quilts and blogs tour!

ENJOY THE TOUR!

The Blogger Quilt Festival is here!

 For the Blogger Quilt Festival this year I have choesen the quilt I have finished just today. The red-black stripes quilt have now a red dotted binding sewed by machine. I'm not totally satisfied for the result...    

...but I love the quilt colors and the design of the front and the back side. Thanks to  Amy for organizing  the festival and remember to visit and enjoy the many beautiful quilts from the whole world!                   

Blogger Quilt Festival-Spring edition

This year for the Spring edition of the Blogger's Quilt Festival I want to share a quilt that tell about friendship.

We were only people who loved quilting, Claudia, Sandra, Sonia, Luciana and I.

We only met us sometime at the same quilt-shop.

Then one day we decided to start a project together to make in the same time...a Star of Bethlehem.

We were intimidated to this pattern and to make it together gave us more courage.

It was the2007.

Believe me, all our Stars turned out simply wonderful but the better thing has been that we have become true friends.

Now we meet us every time is possible even if we live in different town and even if we are all different for age, work, and life. But we share much more as the simply quilting passion now.

This is the magic of patchwork and this is the magic of friendship.

Blogger's Quilt Festival time

Welcome all!

For this edition of the Blogger's Quilt Festival I have chosen to share with you the very first quilt I made.

I took the basic level class on January 2003 and before the class was ended I had already finished my City Log Cabin quilt.

As you can guess I love it even if my quilting style is so changed now!

But this little quilt has a special place on the wall in my home and in my heart too!
