Homemade fabric labels

First of all create your own label design...


...and a sheet with repeated it in the right size ( I have chosen two different sizes small and a bit larger ).


Then print the sheet on a special transfer paper.



...and cut the strips high as you need for the labels.



...then iron the strips on a cotton ribbon...


And VOILA'!...the labels are done!

Purple purse

I made this colorful squares with silky scraps.




And I made this purse for a kind friend with the squares.


At last I stamped myself on the purse!

Spring is here.

Nature suddenly wakes up.

But since now we have had only grey skies.

Classes and new staff

Last week I have started to give two new classes.
A beginner one where I have suggested to do simple solid colors blocks on a printed background...


...and a average one where the blocks are less simple and made in different size to improve technique and ability of the attending "girls".


I received some new beautiful fabrics...

...part of the colorful collection by GokeKeiko ...


...and some wonderful Heather Ross reprints by Spoonflower .


And I have been so much inspired to this book really nice to look at and to read.


Trudi, as usually, take part in my projects and is a bit jealous of them.

Wheels in quilting

I have started to quilt the Wheels quilt.

The soft batting I have used shows up the wheels.

They seem as colorful jellyfishes.

Quilt bee update and a new book

I told you about this project in this post . Now I have added the sashing and have started to make the outer border.
Now I like it and I'm happy as it is turning out.



Today I received a new book. The crazy isn't the quilt stile I prefer but the four crazy blocks of this quilt are simply wonderful.

The folk art designs for appliquè are very fun and full of details.



If you like this book or want to know more go here .

Special gift

Today I want to share with you a very very special gift I have received from my friends for birthday.
The title of the book is "All my thanks and love to Quilts" by Goke Keiko.

All the quilts inside are simply amazing...I'm sorry if the pics aren't able to show how wonderful they are but you can do yourself an idea...





Of course, this isn't the only gift I received...
In a next post I will tell you about them.
