Mola at Monday's Group

Some time ago, Ginette brought the idea to start a new project, learning the Mola technique. She had already done some nice pieces like this cute cat. One part of the group followed her with enthusiasm. I did not, being too busy with my baby quilts.

This technique comes from the Kuna women in Panama, who were traditionally using it for there costumes.

It is a reverse applique method consisting in using from two to seven layers of fabrics of different colors

sewn together.

Stunning and joyful result!

Obviously this technique needs a hughe concentration!!

After the effort, relax... coffee and cakes are coming!

Dina is giving the last touch to her sampler.

Finished! She wrapped herself pleasantly in her quilt!

Happy quilting to you all!

Monday's group

This week we met at Eleni's house in Psychikon, a north suburb of Athens.

Eleni is working on the prepation of a craft sale. She is very creative, I love her work.

As every year at this time the craft sales started, and it is always a real pleasure for me to

admire the wonderful skills, and to make my Christmas shopping there.

Eleni's "crazy placemats" are great, she is mixing beautiful fabrics and her quilting

is very interesting!
