The End of my Pink Dream

Well …… well how sad is this?
Finished this beauty
Unfortunately can’t show it properly … but let’s be different and show it ……..differently









This Quilt was just amazing to make and the feel, perfect for a Princess
Next Quilt ….
Let me tell you that there is some pink too

Let’s start the final process …..

This one is personalised, in each flower there’s a letter
Have a great Sunday x

Work in Progress

Love it.
100% Girlie

For a Baby Girl

It’s very rewarding to do little things every so often, because you start and you finish so quick.
And you know how much I love the girlie stuff…… sorry boys!!
And I do love these bibs





Now let’s get back to the ‘big’ stuff
And it’s girlie girlie
Have a great day x

Using Scraps

I buy (quite) a bit of fabric, see how that word is in brackets…….. ok I admit. I love fabric
I have a considerable stash, well not as big as I see some in certain blogs.
I love it, and I think the best feeling is when you are doing something, and there’s a change of mind, and voila, it’s late in the day all the shops are closed, but you don’t need them
You have just that perfect match
Somehow……. I sound a bit addicted
But ….. as I was saying, I do love to use scraps, you know that already.
I love applique, so combine the two, and it’s a perfect match
And those colours, well what can I say …………..
Can’t wait to mix all those softies

My First Quilt

This was the first quilt I ever made.
As you know, I have a passion for recycling fabric, and this Quilt was made with my dad’s old shirts.
The 19 flowers symbolise my parents wedding day, and their lucky number.
It was a very tough year for Dad, that year, fortunately he got well, and those dark days have gone.
So this is it, a Quilt with a lot of meaning, and it was my first one.
Very very Special I shall say





Talking about recycling, this next weekend all those fabrics that once upon a time were skirts are going to turn squares.
Today I bought a navy one and actually those 100% wool fabrics are just fantastic, the lady in the charity shop, was talking to me, about what a fantastic skirt I was buying for a bargain price of £3.00
She looked shocked when I told her that I was going to ‘dismantle’ the whole skirt
And then quietly she said: I hope you know what you are doing
I just replied: Let’s hope so

Have a great weekend

Still with a one and a half arm, operational, there’s more and more things being added to the list
Keeping with small projects at the moment. Leaving the ‘biggies’ for later, talking big, this was a nice one to make, the turning 20, mixed with quilt as you go, and some applique.
Nothing like keeping things easy .
Was such a lovely one to make, and it’s in pretty good hands now.
Anyway have a great weekend, and enjoy life, have fun!!!! xxx

Novo desafio... New challenge

Este desafio vai ter duas partes, ou seja vai ser feito em grupo
Uma parte aqui na Inglaterra e outra aí em Portugal
Entao uma simples toalha de mesa, vai ser transformada para condizer numa cozinha amarela e branca
Depois de muito pensar, ja passamos ao passo seguinte, que e o comecar..
Já nao estamos mal.
E um dia destes depois passo a bola, neste caso a toalha, para a fase final, a parte do crochet
E a minha mae terá assim uma bela toalha de mesa feita a duas (neste caso 4) maos, as minhas e as dela

This challenge is going to be in two parts, it's going to be a group project
One part here in the UK and the other in Portugal
So a simple tablecloth, it's going to be transformed to match a yellow and white kitchen
After a lot of thinking, we have moved to the next stage, that's the starting point
Not bad.
And one of this days I'll pass the ball, in this case the tablecloth for the final part, the crochet part
And my Mum will have a gorgeous tablecloth made by two (in this case 4) hands, mine and hers

As fotos sao tiradas a noite, portanto a luz nao é a melhor, parece mais laranja, mas sao mesmo amarelas

The photos are taken at night, so the light is not great, they look more orange, but they are yellow

Acabada - Finished

E aqui esta a toalha acabada e prontinha para ser lavada

Cores garridas, para tardes de calor

And here is the finished tablecloth ready to be washed

Bright colours to sunny afternoons

Uma optima Páscoa - Happy Easter

E aqui está ele terminado

Páscoa Feliz

And it is finished

Happy Easter

Espreitadela... Sneak Peek
