I hereby confess …..

…. that I’m addicted to Liberty, if you haven’t noticed before



It’s just Quality!!!
Put a kid in a Sweet Shop, exactly the same feeling when I go into a shop with Liberty
That’s all I can say

The Liberty Quilt

Totally in Love with this Beauty x

The Process

Well today is the Big Day for this Lovely Quilt to be sandwiched and hopefully more, but one step at a time
As I mentioned before, living in a small house, has it’s benefits and also disadvantages
And when you are a quilter, sandwiching a Quilt, is not a easy task
So first move the furniture to one side
And then tape the backing to the floor



Add the wadding



And finally the top



To be continued …….

Special Day

And today is Special, yes it’s my Birthday
And this year I took a day off work, and just did what I wanted
It was just lovely, and to top it all up, I speak to everybody that make my Life Special
It feels like I’m on a Phone Centre, it just doesn’t stop
I’m so Lucky!!
I truly am, to have so many wonderful people in my Life
And in between chatting of course some sewing had to be included
It’s all ready for tomorrow, to be sandwiched and quilted
And yes, it’s my Liberty Quilt, that I can’t wait to be ready
So tomorrow is going to be a busy day


Thank You to All of you that make my Birthdays so Special
Love you xx

Busy bee

Well Saturday has been busy!!!
Nothing like starting the day shopping, but not any shopping…. oh no!!
Liberty Fabric Shopping.
Could there be any better start of a day?



Then a trip to a Portuguese Food Shop
Sometimes nothing beats Homemade Portuguese Cuisine
Followed by a nice Portuguese Lunch

On the way home some seafood for lunch tomorrow

And just before reaching home a trip to Garden Centre to close the day’s shopping with a gold star



Some Oregano e some nice Lemon Verbena for tea

And of course more Lavender



And I think the garden, has enough this year
All we need now is lots of sunshine
I now, need to rest … from today!! Driving in London on a busy day when there’s a few sports finals on, it’s not easy
Love London, but love it more when I’m at home, in peace and quiet
Lots of sewing on the agenda
Have a great Saturday xx

Liberty Top Finished

Well the top is now finished!!
I really am pleased with it
Thought that a silk wadding will do justice to this soft Quilt
And I also have to think about the backing
So far so good

Liberty Sneak Peek

I can stare at this one for ages

It’s a real mixture

The softness, the colours and how it’s coming along, it’s definitely a winner

Totally in Love with it

Very effective indeed

Let’s talk ……… Liberty

Well well….. what can I say
I’ve worked with several fabrics, including Liberty Fabrics
But this one is just so gentle, so soft….


I always say this about my quilts
This is Special!!
Yes it is this is going to be my Special one
So calming, and yes you guessed it……… I’m in Love
There’s still quite a bit to go, this is only a fourth of it, but I’m in no hurry, I’m enjoying the journey
Amazing how you can turn a Fabric Catalogue into this.
I’m Happy!!!!

Plans for the weekend

Variety is  essential in my Life!!
I like to be surrounded by beautiful, soft and confortable things.
Having this in mind, last year I was lucky to get one of these



A catalogue with over 150 samples!!
Very Lucky girl I know
And  when you talk Liberty it’s Special
And this one has all the ‘ingredients’ to be just that



So that’s what I will be doing add to that lovely company and I’m going to have a ball on Saturday
So looking forward
Will keep you posted!!

So little time……

Well a day shopping is good…… a day fabric shopping is fabulous!!!
And yesterday was just a fantastic day!!
Well as you can see I have reason to be so Happy.
Great choice, if I might say so ….





There’s some more, but I’ll leave that ‘Special’ purchase for another time.
It’s exciting, what a lovely material to work with, and now there’s a lot of work to do
Let’s start the ball rolling
Have a great week

Sunday Fabric Shopping

Well, well what a day in London
Started a beautiful collection today, I knew that going to Liberty’s would be a good choice.
A very good choice indeed
After a lot of thinking, it’s hard, so many beautiful fabrics, you just don’t know what to choose
And this is the beginning of a beautiful Love Affair
The fabrics are beautiful, very nice touch
One day I’m sure I will have a beautiful Quilt
This is the beginning of the collection



As going to Liberty’s wasn’t enough, why not go and see what the sales had to offer in a very nice department store, one of my favorites
Well, I thought it was Christmas, with Birthday all in the same day
Half price fabrics, Tanya Whelan, Verna Mosquera, Joel Dewberry all for Free Spirit
My inner voice kept telling me, Carla control yourself….
I tried, I promise,I did try……. but these had to come home with me, specially the check one from Tanya Whelan, I have been after it for a while
Check these beauties





As you can see not bad for a day’s shopping



Me very Happy!!!
Have a great week xx
