OMG January - finished

Texte en français en bas de la page

 My one monthly goal was to add 18 blocks to my crazy log cabin quilt.
I really wanted to make 24, but I did not want to set that as a goal. When I had stopped working on it, last November, I had started to worry about the future of this quilt. So I was not sure I would still enjoy working on it.

 But the joy of improvising came back naturally and I have done all 24 blocks quite easily.

 Bad night time picture only unfortunately.


Have a nice day!

 Mon but pour le mois de janvier était de faire 18 blocs supplémentaires pour mon "crazy log cabin" en Klimt.

 J'ai toujours voulu en faire 24, pour avoir 60 blocs au total, mais je n'avais pas voulu me fixer ce but, de peur 
qu'il ne me soit plus aussi facile de faire ces blocs. Quand j'avais arrêté d'y travailler, en Novembre, j'avais commencé à m'inquiéter, de ne pas avoir assez de tissus, ou d'associer toujours les mêmes tissus... Mais dès que j'ai recommencé, j'ai retrouvé la joie d'improviser et j'ai fini mes 24 blocs.

 Bonne journée.

A quilt for a 5 years old boy

Texte en français en bas de la page   When my sister announced she was expecting a second child, I decided it was time for me to start quilting. I had wanted to try since some time, but I really needed to start for this baby. So I made a few small projects (pillows) and then a baby blanket. Then I remembered how my kids felt when a new baby arrived in the family. All that attention and all the gifts were directed to the new baby. It was a difficult time for the older siblings. My nephew is 5 years old. He is home schooled and has the full attention of his parents and great parents most of the time... What a shock for him! So I decided I would make a quilt for him too. But then came the difficult decision time. To make a baby quilt is easy; you just have to please the parents. But how to please a 5 years old with a quilt? I live far away from my family and don't see them very often. My sister told me that he is an NBA fan and he likes dragon. His favourite Lakers player...

Octopus, finally finished!

Texte en français en bas de la page I thought I would never see the end of this quilt. Not because I hated doing it, but because I like it too much. I delayed every step of the process, being scared of ruining it. I read somewhere that, traditionally a quilter has to introduce a mistake in every quilt because only god is perfect... Well, I don't need to make an intentional mistake, my quilt is full of errors, misaligned seams etc. I am still very proud of it. My largest quilt so far and designed myself. I hope my nephew will like it read the full story here.  I quilted the octopus' tentacles, free motion with pebbles. For the background (the sea) I made wavy lines, using my walking foot. I quilted the piano key borders with straight lines. For the back, I was ready to settle on anything remotely nautical, but the perfect fabric found me. I even got a reduction because I finished the bolt! I used this method to machine bind the quilt. I have probab

Finished! Les Cerf volants de Maastricht

Texte en français en bas de la page   Finally, I finished the quilt for my daughter! It took quite some time to finish the quilting, and in the end, I just wanted it done. I could not wait to start working on something new. This quilt, which I already discussed  here , uses the Haphazard pattern offered by Liz from Savor every stitch. In keeping the haphazard of the pattern, I decided to quilt each triangle separately with a variety of designs.. I had bought a ruler sampler set from Westalee. I used some of them for this quilt. But I mainly used the straight ruler, and designs I learned in Angela Waters' Craftsy class "quilting with rulers"   When I started, I was afraid that the various designs would be too much for the eyes. Also, I don't think a single triangle is quilted perfectly. But I am very proud of the result. For the back, I ordered a wide backing from kaffe fasset collective. I found it beautiful and very smooth, but quite fragile. On
